Not a contest that is as straightforward as it looks. They are down to bare bones with Defenders. We are down to bare bones with Strikers.
Fortunately, we have a number of midfielders capable of scoring, so I am backing Blues to win comfortably 3-0.
 
With our defence I can't see us losing to anyone in the league. If they manage to win it'll be our own undoing. Blues to win today or they'll sneak a draw. It was a good game against them last time, let's hope for another.
 
A harsh Red card for Orient, but we'll take it as a swings and roundabouts decision.
Blues pushing hard to gain the advantage but finishing is the problem. A little more patience required, Orient are defending well though.
 
Was a harsh red, but still a dangerous tackle. Really should have put a lot more of those 27 shots away. Missed Stanno at times, but the rest of the squad were immense. Paik and Iwata looking inform and dangerous again. Everyone turned up today and did the job against a potentially difficult team. Shame the red changed the outcome of the game, would have liked to have see us against fully confident Orient.
 
Those final comments on injuries does not bode too well for us for the weekend against Wycombe, Doesn't sound as though Keshi will be fit in time for it.
CD does lay a few red herrings every now and then though so we will have to wait and see
 
Man of the Match for me was Tomoki Iwata.
He was everywhere today, and pleasing to see the combination with him and paik getting back to the Awesome twosome in Midfield.
Special mention to Ryan Allsop also, it must be incredibly hard to keep the concentration up when your a spectator for 90% of the game
