I never thought he was particularly good, but wish him all the best at Underhill.

Good luck to the bloke. Always put it in for us, I thought

Left back can be a hard role to fill, and he always did a job

Joe was a pretty solid left back defo good enough for top conference / mid -low league 2 team. Always put in 100%. Personally was sad to see him go...all round Nice guy. Problem was we have been blessed with some very decent left backs over the last 20 years (locky and Daniels especially ) and unfortunately Joe was never gonna hit those heights. Good luck Joe and thank you

good left back and a good bloke
Got caught up in the Embleton crap , indecision and mates syndrome
Get back , sometimes its best to play in your position, rather than have other players fill in positions, lets hope they dont sign Brophy !
Good luck Joe

He always put in a shift for us, and was better than some people thought. Good luck Joe, and thanks for your efforts.

He's a decent LB and definitely a good signing for Barnet. I think he'll do very well for them . He never let us down and always gave 100%. Good luck Joe and thanks for all you did at Orient.

An excellent player for NL. Was very shaky under Steve Davis but improved hugely under JE, was probably our most consistent defender when back in the league as well.

I remember Joe's 1st game for us , i believe it was Sutton away in the conference on TV 🤔 if I recall rightly he gave away a penalty and got sent off and people were slagging him off big time !! After that he improved immensely and always put in a shift , good luck with Barnet mate 👍👍

44 appearances in our promotion season - wow!!!!
Huge part of our recent history. Very pleased he’s got a gig for next season.

He can do very well there. Him and Turley should help build a formidable defence at that level.

Hopefully will see the difference more talented full backs can do to a team this season. Nothing against Joe, solid for us throughout his time but very limited.

Yes, with Thomas at RB and Doherty LB in the National League this season they should be quite a solid back four . The only thing I can see tripping them up is injuries so they will also need a little bit of luck on that front .I'll be keeping an eye on their results this season. If they also have decent strikers they should be in the promotion race come the end of the season.

He really did have an aversion to the halfway line in his first season. Was much better in the second season. Never could doubt his commitment. Good luck to him.
