Loan watch - and should we buy Paul Smyth? 08:48 - Oct 30 with 908 views | unstableblue | My Orient spies tell me El Mizouni had an absolute blinder for Orient yesterday, he played the full 90 in central midfield as they beat Salford 1-0, to open a 3 point gap at the top of League Two. Our 22 year old Tunisian is a real fan favourite at Brisbane Road - can he one day become the new Morsy alongside Humphreys?! Of note Orients striker Paul Smyth scored another cracker. This is a seriously talented player, and although 25, may be worth a look? 7 goals this season. Huge work rate. Our Indonesian wunderkid Elkan Baggot, a nailed on Town centre back of choice in a few seasons, secured another full 90 mins, as his loan side Gillingham lost 1-0 away to Doncaster. Earning Doncaster’s new manager Danny Schofield his first win. A result that plunged the Gills into deeper trouble, as they drop to 20th, 1 point off a relegation place. A relegated scrap for Elkan to experience. Our double agent Rekeem Harper didn’t play yesterday and is priming himself to steal 3 points, as his Exeter City play away at Plymouth in the big West Country derby. Before stepping aside to hand town 3 points later in November. Sadly Corrie Ndaba remains injured in what is becoming a frustrating season for our left sided defender. He wasn’t available to go full double agent and take some points off one of our promotion rivals. Despite the 4-2 score line his loan club Burton Albion were well beaten by Sheff Weds. Motherwell’s number 24, Matt Penney, played a part and the full 90 mins as his loan club won 1-0 away at Dundee United. I thank you. [Post edited 30 Oct 2022 8:53]

Maybe the club think his celiing is higher and loan him out again but I think we'd look to recruit a midfielder of Prem level quality while we're in the Championship. Whatever the outcome I'm really glad he's having such a good season. Has always given his all when I've watched him play |  |

As much as I’d like to see El Miz succeed, and believe he is a talent. I agree that if (IF?!) we do get promoted we’d invest in a serious central midfielder, of top championship quality. I think El Miz is well behind Evans, and probably Dom Ball as well, and they’re probably not good enough for a strong Championship campaign. But you never know Shefford, he may come back and light up pre-season training and earn a bench place next season. I’m convinced Baggot will make the first team regularly, either next season or the one after. |  |

Not sure I agree, thought Ndaba looked a little overawed in the pre-season friendlies. Baggot all the way for me. |  |
