THE BRAND new O’s team could face a “difficult” spell in League One, according to boss Russell Slade.

But he wants the players whom he has brought together to enjoy the brand of football which he is installing for his first full campaign at Brisbane Road.

“There will be times over the first ten games particularly when we’ll find it particularly difficult and we may become a little bit disjointed” warned Slade.

“But I do feel this team will improve over the season. The signs are really good early doors and we can’t ask for anything more.

“It’s important for the players to feel settled and to enjoy their football.”
