Jobi.
Came on and aside from one dodgy cross ran and went passed the opposition, some lovely passes, drove the team forward. He is playing leagues above everyone else in our team and is what? 38.39? There are players 15-20 years younger than him and he is fitter than they appear to be. Bloke is an orient legend in my eyes. Having played at the highest levels and still giving absolutely everything despite the dross around him. I would love it if he took over as manager at some point.

Re: Jobi.
Yup looked head and shoulders above the rest in fitness, spark and effort. I reckon he's got more sense than to take the Orient manager job, he fits in well at Sky much more lucrative career and less stressful too!

That comment made me chuckle, probably quite true though !

Re: Jobi.
There was one point where we were on the attack and the move broke down, they launched a counter and somehow he was the last man covering Brophy and Happe.
We’ve still never really been told what his mystery groin problem was, it’s possible we’ll never know, but I reckon it was going on for some time - and I mean months and months - before he eventually stopped.
He’s currently playing as well as he ever has for us and looks fitter and sharper than even back in 2014.
Truly remarkable.

I think for near certain that left to do the job as he wanted to do, with no interference from above, he would be a good choice as our next manager. Jobi is a strong character and if he did get the job, then I think he would wish to have a free rein to do as he wanted to do, get my meaning !! Thinking about it though, he is playing really well and still enjoys playing, so would he wish to retire now and have to give up playing football ?
