Lovely and sunny in the sleepy Hamlet of Hornchurch (which the BBC erroneously said was in Essex, not the GLC area, in an article yesterday - so much for accurate reporting) but, boy is that wind cold. I wonder what it is like in Burton for The Faithful.

That is a strong team starting and I always like to see "10 more years" Pratley in the starting line-up.

COYOs - make us happy.

I think it is a bit harsh to drop Cooper after he played very well against Stevenage.

From the Match preview on the Os website
"Historically, Burton have a slight advantage over the O's in the limited fixtures played between the sides, with one win over the O's, whereas there has also been two draws between the clubs. Orient are yet to secure a victory over the Brewers."

Time to change that and get a win tonight.

Dropping Cooper is outrageous after his MOTM performance last Thursday.

Excellent work from Kelman that. Did so well to put it across goal like that, even if the keeper should've done better with it.

First opportunity he had and he made something happen, loves a shot from any angle :D

Someone makes a run across the front post and they've got a tap in, Bobby Charlton used to do that all the time but hardly ever see it these days.

Beginning to sound like a replay of Saturday - score a goal and then hang on.

What's happened to clare. Rolls Royce to old banger in the space of a few months - still getting back to fitness?

Look dangerous going forward but we've lost the ability to control the midfield. Have run Brown and Pratley into the ground so it's not a huge surprise. Pratley is still crafty and decent in duels but a lot of the game runs by him.
