Match Preview;
If I'd have written this match preview based on predictions and expectations expressed before today's game, I'd have said it'll be an easy win against League Two opposition as, after all, we are expected to finish near the top of the league. However, from what I've read, today's 1-1 draw against Millwall showed that some of the back up players, potentially, need a few games to get into the rhythm. Going into a League Cup game this obviously means we need to take it seriously, and play our first 11, or run the risk of going out.
Kenny Jackett's Orient drew their first game 1-1 against Salford. They have the experienced Darren Pratley in the centre of midfield, and Jackett clearly saw something in Paul Smyth, as Smyth has been bought in and started their first game.
I'll add team news and managers comments when they go on the official, and as always...
COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!
