I wonder if the passing of JE is still getting to the players and coaching staff Bar Wilkinson Dennis and Angol all the Orient team where close to the gaffer everyday there still seems to be a reminder for them whether it be social media or a teams programmes notes etc etc and not forgetting the great fundraising that Charlie is doing
So are the players trying to hard and forgetting the more simple things to try and justify Justin’s legacy or are they simply not moving on and finding the grieving process difficult
I’m sure ML and the team have the right guides/counsellers etc should the players need them
As fans including me should we not be showing the players we are behind them closure can come from the strangest of places at times
Yes I was peed off the way we lost at Macclesfield but I look at the bigger picture those players lost a boss a friend and in some players words a dad
Let’s give them a chance
COYOS
Maybe we just got beat away from home, once against a team who made it difficult for us and done us on the break, and one against a top side who will be promotion candidates.

So your saying the players etc should man up and get on with it?

Not at all. I'm just saying there are likely to be many reasons why we have lost the last two games. We have no automatic right to win games at this level.
When we take the pitch I don't expect many of us don't remember or visualise Justin emerging with his shiny shoes to add presence to the technical area. We all miss him. It is doubly hard for the players and support staff as they will remember his presence in the changing room before.
It is going to be very difficult for some time and I don't believe that a simple let's do it for Justin is sustainable. Losing Justin is every bit as big a challenge as the one he faced head on and met in getting us back into the League. I think the next few weeks are going to be very unpredictable and hard, what we will need us for a new leader to emerge. Someone who can galvanize everyone, I hope they are already at the Club but if not there are some very big shiny shoes to fill.......

I think it is. I think Ross is probably finding it incredibly hard, understandably. And I feel from him.
I think it's almost unfair to have thrown him into this.
IMO, we should have put Danny Webb in charge because he's got the experience of managing the side during the disastrous Beelzebub era.

Webb seemed more at home in the job being the main man then Embleton based on their short spells in the role previously. Ross strikes me more as the good-coach-but-not-manger personality type.
