Speaking to the club’s media, Sam Ling gave his thoughts following Orient’s emphatic 2-0 win against Gateshead last Saturday. Goals from Josh Koroma and Macauley Bonne saw the O’s return to winning ways and remain at the summit of the National League table.
Following a stalemate with Aldershot in midweek, the east-Londoners will have been pleased to pick up all three points keeping themselves a point ahead of rivals Salford City at the top of the National League.
Ling, who returned from an ankle injury, admits he was ‘rusty’ after playing the opening hour of the tie. Son of Orient’s director of football Martin Ling, the young full-back knows the job isn’t done and insists the squad have to keep on ‘doing what they’re doing.’
Orient travel to Boreham Wood next weekend as they look to maintain their fantastic start to the season. The game is to be broadcast on BT Sport with kick off at 12:35pm.
