Well town are going into a game with a win under their belt, albeit a slim one. Orient are one of the league leaders that are pushing for a promotion place, whilst Shrewsbury are pushing to avoid relegation and to get a two goal lead without conceding! Form Position based on last 8 games: ====================Pd = W = D = L = F = A = GD = Pts = Form 13 Leyton Orient (3) ==== 8 = 2 = 4 = 2 = 12 = 11 = 1 = 10 = dwLdDdwL 15 Shrewsbury Town (17)= 8 = 3 = 1 = 4 = 8 == 8 = 0 = 10 = wLLdLwLW From the above stats I was quite surprised to see Orient only two places above us in the league and equal on points, our main problem is that we cannot find that winning combo of scoring more goals than the opposition. We have Eaves back on our books until the end of the season so hopefully that'll settle him down somewhat, but Gayle has returned to his parent club after a less than impressive second loan period with us. Reach is also not here so I will guess it will be Taylor and Parry on the wings. Stick thoughts down below.
STFC 1-2 LOFC Taylor for the B&As in front of 3,690 wet and windy fans....well, perhaps the fans aren't windy!
I can't make it and passed my season ticket on to my mate. So will be sat by the radio listening instead.
I cannot make this one either and I think it is a really tough one for us, as they have very good wingers and experienced strikers who can finish off the crosses. I will go for an improved home showing and a 1-1 draw with Eaves scoring. Come on lads - prove me wrong and get a much needed win!
Better performance than the tranmere game (my last attendance), but too many wasted chances... glad to see grandison back for the last 10 mins too
Wildig's miss at 0-0 and Eaves miss at 0-1 were probably crucial. Both easy. McAllister and Winfield worked hard but I cannot remember either passing to a member of our team and I cannot believe the number of people on Sloppy Radio making the latter MOM.
