Four-midable Orient Back On Top Of The National League

Manager Justin Edinburgh says his team could have scored even more as they overtook Salford City.

The Ammies’ dropped points at home to Ebbsfleet couple with the O’s 4-0 victory means the East Londoners are top again.

“I think we had a real purpose and intent about our play,” said Edinburgh.

“Even if we went on to get a couple of more goals I think it would be justified. Macauley Bonne could have celebrated his birthday with a hat-trick - it wasn’t for the want of trying!

“If you look at Havant’s results, bar one match they have only been losing by the odd goal.

“We knew we had to have a positive mindset and to try and get the early goal which we did.”

Edinburgh added: “Credit to Havant as they didn’t give in. We just needed to get our goals at the right times and we managed to do that.

“We were a very good unit, we moved the ball well and we look decisive.”
