Leyton Orient 0 - 3 Derby County

LEYTON ORIENT v DERBY COUNTY League 1 #17


Saturday 1500 9th Dec 2023, Brisbane Road

Forgotten again what its like to have a league game on a Saturday afternoon even though it was just two weeks ago.

Orient sit in 16th but are no mugs and should provide a stern test for the travelling Rams. Despite a few pleasing victories, it still feels like a WIP and I''m still not convinced. and yes, we have had four straight league wins.

But apart from this, you add the rest - I'm too worried about my standing on Banno's prediction league and I need time to think.

And its another sell out for the away fans - no wonder Wigan want to charge us £30 on Boxing Day - cash cow thats what we are.

Team news:- Wildsmith (GK), Wilson, Forsyth, Hourihane (C), Cashin, Bird, Collins, Mendez-Laing, Sibley, Ward, Nelson.

Subs:- Vickers (GK), Bradley, Barkhuizen, John-Jules, Fornah, Brown, Fapetu.

We really could have done with tonight's L1 match finishing a draw. Pompey marching towards the title.

Yes, agreed but all teams at some time go through a bad patch....I dont think Pompey have had theirs yet...Oxford were going great guns until late and now I think we're ahead of them....so still time if we can keep our run going...

Not necessarily. You can only take one auto place not two so now we are closer to Bolton than we would otherwise have been ...

But win our game in hand and we're only 6 behind Pompey and still to play them in a six pointer ...

That's right Fin, plus, we've still played only 19 of 46 matches, not halfway through the season yet
