Port Vale v Leyton Orient: Preview

[Yeasin]

18th place Port Vale host 15th place Leyton Orient at Vale Park and both teams will be hopeful for all 3 points. On the back of a 2-2 draw against Scunthorpe, the hosts could include new signing Dany N’Guessan in their side following his arrival yesterday, which followed hot on the heels of Harry Panayiotou’s loan move from Leicester City. But top goalscorer Tom Pope (ankle) is ruled out of the tie and interim boss Robert Page could make changes at the back as they still wait for their first clean sheet of the campaign.

Orient still have their fair share of injuries but centre-halves Nathan Clarke & Mathieu Baudry are available for selection after suspensions. Marvin Bartley is likely to start in centre-midfield after impressing in midweek but there are no returns from injury so the line up will be similar to midweek's victory at Doncaster.
All in all both teams have a chance of winning, but I shall go in the favour of Orient maintaining their unbeaten away form, 2-0 to the O's

I see that Nugent has been gotten rid of and Milanese has taken over. Turning into a bit of a circus down at the O's this season isn't it? Why don't they just use their excess cash on a proven English manager instead of all this chopping and changing, half fix measures etc.

 

[Yeasin]

It's a joke, seasons a write-off in terms of making an improvement on last season,
Nugents still the coach, and that's what he's best at, as a manager he just carried on with the same flaws that he had the opportunity to fix.

No clue why the Italian guy is here, but he might as well try to fix this circus.
Disappointing,

The only reason why I'm so negative right now is I'm 17 and haven't seen the Orient which history tells me was way worse than this.

Goodnight

Blimey, you'v been quite fortunate then! I remember some of the older Orient who were just looking to avoid the drop each season.

Did you ever have the pleasure of witnessing Sam Parkin or Ryan Jarvis play? (Or try too)

 

[Yeasin]

I guess I'm very lucky in that sense.

No I haven't
