Speaking to barnetfc.com “I think by now the league tends to sort itself out, O’s have been on a good run, I think along with all the game we’ve played really, every single game has been tough. I don’t expect it to be any different tomorrow”.

• Failed to score in three league games (two away)
• Have scored in their last five games and last three away games

Still began his playing career at Orient back in 1967 as a youth player and continues to live in amongst Orient fans. After seasons of discontent at Orient, Still stated “Orient’s a good club, there has been some reconstruction over the past couple of years. They have a good manager in Justin Edinburgh and have brought back Lingy”. He added “as a football fans I am pleased they have picked up from the disappointment that they had there. But I’m fully aware that it will be a tough tough game, one we really look forward to”.

Still’s Promotions From Fifth Tier

The Bees face three of the top seven in the next fortnight but the winning run has built a belief in the squad. Still who has achieved three promotions from the National League is hoping for number four to send Barnet back up at the first time of asking. Still stated to barnetfc.com ” I think the way we’re approaching games and the way we’re competing in games is now giving us a great chance. There’s lots of little things that please you, I was pleased with the work rate. I am really pleased with our application to our game at the moment”.
