Orient welcome Harrogate Town to the Breyer Group Stadium this Saturday in a bid to avoid a fifth straight defeat.
Leyton Orient have endured a tough November both in the League and Cup. Four straight losses leave Ross Embleton’s side sitting in 14th place in League Two.
The O’s lost 2-1 to Colchester United last time out and will be hoping for a better performance this Saturday against a Harrogate side that Embleton is wary of.
Speaking to Leytonorient.com Embleton said: “I’m expecting them to be very competitive…They’re building on success. They’ve changed from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 recently. They’ll be aggressive. They’ll get the ball in the box. We have to stand up and deal with it.”
He continued: “We want to go and win the game. I’m envious of Harrogate if I’m brutally honest. They’ve come into League Two with momentum from promotion.”
Team News
Craig Clay is still being assessed but Saturday may come slightly to soon however Embleton said he’s been improving every day.
Myles Judd will not feature for the O’s this weekend. Although he trained with the side yesterday the defender is still not ready.
Ruel Sotiriou is still out injured and is expected to return to training next week.
Possible Lineups
Orient: Vigouroux, Happe, Coulson, Akinola, Brophy, Kyprianou, Cisse, McAnuff, Thomas, Dennis, Wilkinson.
