I'll take a clean sheet against the form team in the league. Shame Orient had to win, but a point from one of the top teams in the league is another point towards promotion.
In other news, it's all over social media and the Danish media that Siggy is in informal talks with FC Copenhagen about re-joining up with Solbakken and Margrietter in January. I sincerely hope this not to come to fruition, but can see it happening, and won't blame Sig if he takes up on it
Agree with both parts of the post. I think with Posh losing it was important we stopped Brentford ( who will be a threat come May) from gaining on us. Incidentally Posh play Brentford on Tuesday, and us on Saturday.
Siggy clearly isn't happy, his cold shoulder of KJ on Tuesday when taken off said a lot

The Orient score isn't imoortant. In fact we want them to beat teams in the chasing pack. Results elsewhere were kind to us anyway. We want Posh and Brentford to draw. Then it's only 2 points between them not 3.
Agree about Siggy. He is 3rd choice striker as he was last season. He was a rising star in Norway before he joined us, and is entitled to a new start.

Siggy is overated and overpaid for what he brings to the squad. Offload him while we have the chance. Not enough goals or assists and doesn't work hard enough.
Get rid of siggy and put Ebanks back in the team!
Seb turned a contract down last season and said he was unwilling to play in league 1.

Siggy is a competent player, but hasn't lived up to what we hoped for, which was someone like Michu I suppose. I'll bet he will do very well outside the UK.

Why do players like SEB and Hunt prefer to not play at all than play for teams lower than their expectations or for lower pay than they got at Wolves? Their earning potential will surely be going down all the time.
Funnily enough I heard we were offered Michu along with a few other Championship clubs. Swansea were the ones to take the risk on him and look how it came off.
Don't believe Siggy is over-rated, some genuine touches of class last season. Good in the air, has genuine pace, can beat a man and natural finisher. Not sure what has gone wrong but its starting to look like we can't integrate non british players into this team. Hope we are not just settling for upper championship status.

I think that too. The only manager we had who knew about overseas players was Solbakken. KJ is kidding himself if he can build a team of UK/Irish-nurtured players that will get much higher up the league.
If Siggy and Sako go, that's what we will be.
Maybe the best time to look at foreign players is when and if we manage to get back to the premier. For now in league 1 we are much better with uk & irish players.
Agreed. We have a very poor record with foreign players. Probably only Pollet was a success out of the many we have signed. De Wolf may have been, but for injury, but as for the rest.
If Siggy does leave I can hand on heart guarantee that he will become one of the top players in whichever league he goes to. He's just suffering from lack of confidence, just like Cassidy.
Re foreign players. I completely agree. Pollet was a revelation and Vio Ganea was a handy addition too back in the day, but other than that, Havard Flo, Tomasz Frankowski etc etc have been shockers
