Released after seven appearances (three as sub) and one goal.
He was signed to provide the firepower we were lacking, but I thought looked a bit of a spent force.
Dos seems to be putting his faith in young Chris Benjamin instead.

Either didn't fit in or past his best.

......probably the latter, Kezie & Pacquette, came in at the tail end of their careers, both having proven goal scoreing records at this standard, but unable to deliver at GGL. Not the first by a long shot and probably not the last.

Someone was telling me that Chris Benjamin was very highly rated when he was at Orient and it was thought that he was a bit unlucky to get released. Really pleased to see he's getting a chance with us now, I think we've got a decent array of firepower in the ranks and expect to see more of Dundo bullying defences into submission.

TBH both Kezie and Pacquette are only 30 so should be going into their prime. Sadly they have probably spent too much time chopping and changing clubs for their own good. Maybe they just aren't that good, though both may have had 1 or 2 good seasons. Weren't Kezie's only decent scoring years mostly at a lower level with Chelmsford and Farnborough? Good players are consistent over a long period. I tend to think the worst immediately when I see a player with more clubs to their name than I have had hot dinners. Tends to mean clubs have taken a look and don't feel they are good enough to warrant a place.

.....didn't realise that Chris Benjamin was also Ex Orient, we seem to do very well with this connection. He could be the player we have been looking for, I hope so..

He certainly wasn't the "instant impact" player Dos wanted or needed at this time. Maybe given a bit of time, he could have found his scoring boots, but that's a luxury we can't afford this season.

That would have been Harry Beauts dad!!

We seem to have attached a motor to the revolving door.
