It's the last so called london derby of the season this saturday as Leyton Orient make the relatively short journey down to south london to take on Charlton Athletic. Both sides lost by the same scoreline last saturday both going down 1-0. Charlton lost out to a Jordan Rhodes penalty while Orient went down 1-0 at home to Sheff Wednesday, Reda Johnson the goalscorer in that game. Orient also had a game in midweek when they made the like trip to Boundary Park to face Oldham. This time however they were 1-0 victors with David Mooney grabbing the only goal of the game.
When these two sides met earlier in the season at Brisbane Road. The Addicks had a torrid time and losing keeper Ben Hamer after just 6 minutes could hardly help things. Orient with their numerical advantage dominated possession and created more and the better chances of the match. It wasa once again just like the first loss of the season an old boy who sunk Charlton. This time the man came in the form of Matt Spring ,a hero a few seasons back for his derby winning goal against Palace finally turned Villain when he shot took a massive deflection off Taylor before looping over a stranded Sullivan.
Leyton Orient have been largely disappointing this season and currently find themselves in 17th place with 46 points from 38 games. I had expected them to build on last season when they missed out on the playoffs by 1 point but I could not of been more wrong. As for this season they had a terrible start not winning in their first 10 games and only picking up 3 points out of a possibly 30! Out of their last 5 matches they have take 6 points out of a possible 15 winning 2 and losing 3.

It looks like Wagstaff and N'Guessan look like their playing centre midfield but they are both still on the wings with Pritchard holding and Stephens pushing further up the field.
We've not been to great lately and our lead now only stands at 6 points. The game tomorrow is must win in my opinion and I think the boys will deliver! I'm going to say 2-0 to the Addicks and back to winning ways.
,good luck today lads hopefully an easy 3 points for your lot and keep my bet on track
