Leyton Orient must put their MK Dons nightmare behind them tonight when they travel to Rochdale for another crucial League One game.

The O's were thrashed 6-1 on Saturday which sent them back into the relegation zone. But Fabio Liverani's side can climb out of the bottom four if they can win at seventh placed Rochdale.

Speaking after Saturday's defeat, the Orient boss said: "The positives are there are three games to be played which is nine points and it's still in our hands. 

"Unfortunately it's been two or three games where we've been saying we have to get three points in the next game but we didn't. Now Tuesday is a very important game."

Orient will hope to have Dean Cox and Darius Henderson available after hamstring injuries kept them out of the MK Dons match.

Jay Simpson could be handed another chance in attack after the striker capped his first start under Liverani with a consolation goal on Saturday. 

Rochdale's hopes of reaching the play-offs are all but over sitting eight points off the top-six with just three games remaining. Keith Hill's side have won just one of their last five matches.
