I'm a fan of Duke-McKenna. Am I right in thinking his lack of game time on loan is largely down to injuries? Seem to remember reading that somewhere.

Just reading up more about Duke-Mckenna. In his career so far he's played all across the midfield, right back and even a few games at left back. That type of versatility is very useful with a small squad.

Out all last season with a serious injury. Just back in time to enjoy his new contract with the physios.

I've only seen him play once for us, and that was the league cup game v Everton. He looked like a prospect from that cameo and scored a good pen. I was therefore surprised that he didn't feature more and subsequently went out on loan. Could it be perhaps that in contrast with last season we'll see the best out of our players this season, instead of the worst?

Only seen Duke-McKenna twice and both times he was fabulous - fast, tricksy and getting stuck in. Not sure how much can be read into his time at Orient, given that he only had one start. A year's contract extension sounds fair, gives him a chance to prove his worth. Fabulous? At which level? I would be fabulous, fast and tricksy in U75 league. One of those games was in our win against Manchester United. Did not at all out of place. |

Young, fearless & tenacious. Give him some mins and lets see what he's all about.

Liked what I've seen. Give him a go. Tough little fella. We need geezers who get stuck in, not lightweight show ponies like Dozzell.

Let’s be honest he can’t be any worse than 90% of the shite we turn out every week!

How the hell did we keep him here for five years?

I thought we might have unearthed a player the way he played against Everton in cup but was a false dawn. Hope he gets sorted.

Got talent but, he’s no spring chicken any more so obviously reasons he hasn’t broken through.
Wish him well. I like his tenacious style of play.

Shame that, I thought he looked decent whenever he played. Good luck to him.

thought he was decent but never championship material. suspect he'll end up at a good league 2 team.

Good luck to the lad wish him all the very best but once again shows we’ve really clung onto some players who are clearly not up to this level for so long. What a waste of resource.

He signed for us in 2020 from Bolton. After 4 years with us, he leaves, for free, to join a team in a league below the team he was originally signed from. Nothing against the lad and wish him the best, but that’s a shocking example of our set-up prior to what we hope now is a new dawn.
