A word from the Boss
ROSS EMBLETON THREE OUT OF THREE
and we’ll set the team up with the feeling we have a chance to go and win the game.”
“We all hoped for it. People will talk down the fact that we’ve won our opening three games, but we’ve had three good games in a week. I feel as though the squad have all acquitted themselves well, in terms of the rotations we have made. Of course, we’re pleased to come through it with three important wins.”
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR ON THE HORIZON?
“I think at the moment that can’t come into our thinking. It would be foolish to say that ‘no one is eyeing it up,’ from my perspective, we’ve got a massive hurdle to get over before we even start thinking about Spurs. Yeah, it’s a carrot. It is an incentive for both teams but first we have to respect a very good team before we even start worrying about what’s the other side.”
SQUAD CHARACTER
“I don’t think you would ever question the groups’ character but it’s something we’ve looked to improve as a collective. We want to look at our ability to get through games when we’re perhaps not at our best. That’s something we feel we needed to improve. I’m not saying we’ve nailed it, but we have shown good signs already.”
MANSFIELD TOWN
“A good club, with a good budget. The manager, Graham Coughlan, went in at what turned out to be the back end of last season. He will be much happier with the squad that he has now and we’re aware of the quality of the players he has brought in. We know it’s going to be a tough test, but I would like to think anyone looking at us thinks the same. I said at the weekend that I feel as though we have improvements to make. I’m pleased with that, I don’t expect us to hit the ground running, there’s going to be areas we need to develop and improve.”
PLYMOUTH ARGYLE
“They’re a good team, I like Ryan Lowe and his staff; I like what they’re about. They play very good football. We feel we’re in a better place to challenge them this time. Following their success and promotion last year, we know we’re coming up against a very good side. We have to approach it in a confident manner,

ORIENT’S PERFECT START
WE’VE COME BACK READY TO GO AND WE’VE GOT GREAT RESULTS SO FAR
“It’s important to get off to a good start, given everything in the past and lockdown. We felt we hit form before lockdown but of course that put us back a step. We’ve come back ready to go and we’ve got great results so far.”
GOALS
“I wanted to get off to a good start personally. Last season I didn’t get off the mark until we played Mansfield – this year it is important to me to get goals and assists and help the team out.”
