QUOTE Leyton Orient will face a stern challenge later today (Saturday) when they face a strong QPR XI. Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has split his squad into two friendly teams, with the second squad set to face the O's after the first beat Southend 3-1 last night. Joey Barton, Ji-Sung Park and Alejandro Faurlin are some of the names expected to feature alongside trailists Jamie O'Hara and Gary O'Neil in what is likely to be Orient's toughest test of pre-season. UNQUOTE Shame it's behind closed doors. Another QPR stream would have been interesting. Can anyone throw any light on why Harry's being so clandestine?
Glad we've got O'Neil on trial as I rate him and he has some Mackie-like qualities but surely we'd be getting rid of a couple before signing ANOTHER midfielder.
Comment on twitter saying it finished 1-1; apparently Joey Barton played well...... No idea yet who scored. I must state that this is just third hand information from a Adam Brooks ESSEXPR @EssexPR as retweeted by Marc Bircham.
Nothing from the official QPR tweets about O'Neill or O'Hara playing. Lineup as Murphy; Harriman; Ehmer; Ferdinand; Young; Barton; Derry; Faurlin; Park; Ephraim and Hitchcock.
That eases my worries; still rate him way above anything we have looked at in the striking department; Hooper included.
We had one of those score today so I dont see why we can't give him a crack along with the other young lads, Sutherland looked quite good last night from what I managed to see on stream.
