Stats say otherwise.

It seems an unlikely one to be honest, but there are slight similarities in the pics.

Pretty sure Bonne is on Orient's training pics (they're also in Portugal) so probably one to rule out.

That was 2 years ago. I think you need to give young players the benefit of the doubt that they will improve as they get older.

Andy Coughlin in goal for Bangor City in friendly tonight - trialist there.

Indeed, maybe he's not good enough still but I doubt he's the same player as the one who turned up here, plus didn't he only played a limited number of minutes.

The previously mentioned Macauley Bonne scored 8 in his first 90 league games according to Wiki and then scored 22 in 44 last season for Orient. I'm sure plenty of their fans were kicking off just simply looking at his previous scoring history. I'm not suggesting he's going to bang them in but what I'm saying is that at this level, there are plenty of players who have scored goals out of nowhere. In the main, the ones who consistently bang them in move up the leagues.
