I saw a girl with 'Mrs Orlandi' on her shirt. Seems he is single handedly expanding our female fanbase.

When fit, we have a good team. With AO, LB and KA as regular starters in our midfield I can see good times ahead.

glad he is back, changed the tempo when he came on and we looked so much more dangerous with him and KLL on the pitch

Perhaps it really was Mrs Orlandi ?
At the CPFC away play-off game Mts Vicente sat behind me and she was a cracker. Even Ulloas Dad seemed to give her the look

I knew there was something wrong about those games, especially at our place.
There is no way CP would have beaten us on skill alone.

Andrea Orlandi is delighted to be back from injury, however he confessed he is playing through the pain barrier.
The midfielder came on as a half-time substitute in the 1-1 draw against Millwall for his first performance since the opening day of the season but admitted his knee is still not 100 per cent.
He told seagulls.co.uk, “I’m very pleased to be back although my knee is causing me discomfort but I will cope with it.
“The injury actually happened after three minutes at Leeds and it was a little concerning for me because my knee wasn’t responding.
“I felt something go in my knee and it wasn’t right but I kept playing. When we travelled back and got off the bus, I couldn’t walk and my knee was really swollen.
“I wasn’t feeling too good and I was quite worried that I would need an operation but, finally, I managed to play and now I hope to get some more games.
“We actually went to London to see a specialist and to find out if I needed an operation, but he advised me to wait.
“So we waited for two weeks and now I’m here. Hopefully we have made the right decision. Now I just want to keep working and keep getting stronger."
Meanwhile the Spaniard feels the side need to learn lessons from the draw against Millwall but praised top scorer Leonardo Ulloa for his early season form.
“We came back after their goal but the feeling we have is that we didn’t really play for 55 minutes.
“When they scored that is when we started to play and that is something we need to look at. We were the better team but we have to start brighter, especially at home.
“Leo is such a big player for us. He showed that last season and he has started this season in good form.
“Last week he had the best game I have seen him play and he’s getting stronger. He is a threat to any defender and he should have been celebrating two goals today.”

Has a knack of creating goals and scoring some too. Can be lightweight, can be off his game but at this level you have to start him. Spanish needs to be dropped and make up for hs shit preseason.

Changed the game when he came on. Really good to see him back.

The owner of Latinos tweeted a week or so back about Orlandi and Garcia enjoying a meal together. Perhaps Garcia's spurred Orlandi on! I hope so, that back-heel flick around the defender AND getting back the ball was a master-class, I hope that's on next weekend's soccer-am showboat because that needs to be shown again and again. If he's playing like that slightly injured, I cannot imagine what he's going to be like fully fit under Garcia's more attacking philosophy.
My mouth waters at the thought.

Should've been MOM yesterday, and for me is the best player in our squad on his day. Very excited to have him back, he can go missing at times but even the best game-changers do occasionally. With everyone back we could build an XI around him IMO.
