“Cian Ashford had a dead leg in his calf, so he’s a doubt for the weekend, and Dylan Lawlor came off with some fatigue-related hamstring issues, so we’ll check on him.

"The rest of the squad is in a pretty good place off the back of those games, so we’re really keen to train exceptionally well today and tomorrow to give us the best chance to play really well on Saturday and try to win.

“Rubin Colwill is back running on the treadmill, so we expect him to be on the grass next week. Eli King is doing some straight running, so both are making exceptional progress, albeit with different timescales based on the severity of their injuries.”

Eli King will be back next season.

Orient have also Conceded the most goals in this Division

Have to win this in my eyes so there's less pressure on the Bradford game. Come on city!

Think it was a little over 1200 which is still poor

Leyton Orient loanees Tayo Adaramola and Joe White have returned to their parent clubs after their loans were ended with immediate effect.

Adaramola, 22, made 18 appearances for the O's but now goes back to Crystal Palace, while 23-year-old White played six times for Richie Wellens' side while on loan from Newcastle United.

Both players joined the club on season-long loan deals in the summer.

Adaramola, who can play at left-back and left wing-back, played 16 times on loan at Bradford City last season as the Bantams secured promotion to League One.

Attacking midfielder White scored six goals in 34 League Two appearances on loan at MK Dons last season.

"The club would like to thank both players for their efforts and wish them all the best in their future careers," Orient said in a statement on their website., external

The O's have won one of their past eight games in all competitions and sit just one point and one place above the League One relegation zone, having reached the play-off final last season.

They're next in action against league leaders Cardiff City at Brisbane Road on Saturday.

1-3 City..

Do you reckon there is a chance this match gets cancelled?

Do you reckon there is a chance this match gets cancelled?

I suppose there’s always a chance mate but there’s a few things in favour of it going ahead -
London doesn’t seem to be on the radar of the bad weather atm
Forecast is that the forecasted snow ends by Friday am
Orient have a hybrid pitch similar to ours
They also have a heated ‘balloon’ cover that they use on top of the pitch if at all frosty. (I only know cos I was wondering about pitch state come match day too mate )
All in all I’d guess it’ll be ok.

Cardiff City have a sold out away end for Leyton Orient on Saturday

1,214 bluebirds will make the journey to the BetWright Stadium for Brian Barry-Murphy’s side

Orient's game at Stevenage last Sunday was one of three Sky Bet League One clashes that fell to postponement due to poor weather and frozen pitches.

Their last game, on New Year's Day, was a 3-1 home defeat against AFC Wimbledon.

Orient's last victory came just before Christmas, on their home ground, defeating promotion chasing Bradford City, 2-1.

“ ORIENT “

“We’re expecting equally as difficult a challenge,” Brian began. “They’re a very dynamic team and have been very successful over the past couple of seasons with their brand of football and saw how many difficulties we had against them in the game at CCS, and no doubt this Saturday will be equally as tough.

“It’s clear how dangerous they are and how potent a team they are. The focus is on ourselves to be better than we were in the corresponding fixture and prove that we have improved from that, because we need to.

“This week has been a chance for us to recover from the intense Christmas period, but it moves pretty quickly and we’re going to train this afternoon and check in on everyone."

Looking forward to this one. First time to visit Brisbane road.
Looking at the Head 2 Head:
City wins 36
Draws. 25
Losses. 26

They are on an awful run of defeats.

I can see at least a 3-0 to us today.

They are there for the taking.

Orient score a lot so I'll say 3-2 to us.

Hope you’re wrapped up warm? The temperature is around 2c, so there will be that chill factor; particularly in a breeze!

Great that you made it though, and that the game is on! Our away support is class, and we know you’ll get behind the boys!
