As I never tire of saying Orient proved the Championship wasn't necessarily the best recruiting ground. We need to have at least 18 players who are capable of doing a job in Division One come Saturday each week. We are teetering on the edge of that at the moment and there are questions marks over the ability of several of those outside the best eleven to really mount a serious challenge for places. So we do need to recruit, BUT I would rather have players who want to take a step up, rather than use us as a safety net on their way down.

There are always players who are as good as any we've got in need of a new club. It's choosing the right ones at the right price and/or wage ..... and getting them back on track.
