    My favourite Pratley performance was the one where he man marked the Milton Keynes lad out of the game. (I think it was MKD?).
    It’s always good to have an experienced pro around the place, and I think he’ll be missed on the training ground. 
    It was Scott Fraser at MKD who had a brilliant game against us Thr Valley and ran the midfield for the whole game.

    Pratley man marked him their place and he hardly got a touch. It was a superb 1 on 1 performance from Pratley.
    Thanks. So I'm not going mad.
    I agree he did a fantastic job that day. However hopefully this season we wont be making stopping someone from MKD a priority. I liked Pratley but I think it's the right move to let him go, I'm hoping this season we will be trying to pass forward and put other teams under pressure

    The Darren Stevens of the footballing world. He'll still be playing in ten years time and scoring 20 goals a season.

    Surprised he's dropped to League Two, Leyton Orient could well be decent next season under Jackett

    Suspect it was either sit on a bench in L1 or regular play in L2. Fair play to him honestly, reckon he'll do okay for them.

    Think his family are settled down here so no surprise he wanted to stay local.

    Great signing for them.

    Great signing for them, with Jobi McAnuff retiring and leaving I guess he will be the senior pro for the squad

    Good signing for them and move for him. It’ll be interesting to see how much longer he plays for.

    Good to see the Charlton retirement home over in Leyton is still open. Must be double figures of our players they’ve signed now. 

    Great signing for them and smart move to give him the captains armband.

    It seemed the most obvious move for him.
    I wish him well.

    Orient  have been through a lot with nutty owners and then losing their manager tragically. This seems such a common sense move.
