Re: Football Heritage - the Orient Game

The Orient game which, for me, was still just a rescue situation. The turning point came in the 2nd leg of the Sherpa Van semi at Preston the season after. Nobody gave us a chance on their plastic pitch but you could hear the 6,500 Clarets from miles away. Belief starting to become reality. We woul...

Not lost all hope on Broja. Clearly a player in there but he's physically just nowhere near. And mentally too doesnt look hungry or sharp. Pointless being in the prem squad atm.

Sonne is a Championship player, simple as that.

I can fully understand why Broja is being singled out (he's been absolutely dire and looks miles away from being good enough), but I've seen some wild guesses at his transfer fee so far.
Please tell me it’s nowhere near £20m

Shockingly bad. We look like the league one team. Loads of heavy touches and Broja looks miles off it.
Given that we’re being given the absolute run-around by a League 1 team, I’d say that’s being very generous
