McAnuff Scoops Player and Goal Of The Month

Skipper Jobi McAnuff has won the Devines Player Of The Month and the Energy Mind Goal of the month award for December.

McAnuff has been in fine form in the heart of The O’s midfield, with his standout performance coming against rivals Southend United.

His second half free-kick gave The O’s the lead, before his inch-perfect assist for Conor Wilkinson wrapped up a brilliant night for The O’s.

Both goals were nominated, as well as James Brophy’s strike against Newport and Danny Johnson’s brilliant finish away to Morecambe. The Skipper’s free-kick was the eventual winner though, with 38% of votes in his favour.

A crucial assist also came from the captain in the 2-1 home win against Newport County, nodding the ball onto danger man Danny Johnson to net an equaliser – before Brophy’s late winner.

Next up for The O’s, it’s a trip to league leaders Carlisle United – with a 1pm kick-off set for Saturday’s game.
