It’s a big game for…
Sandro Semedo. Gavin Massey will not feature against Newport County and Grimsby. The youngster does cause some problems down the wing but sometimes lacks finese in the fall ball. He does have a lot of potential, as seen in the Plymouth Argyle game when he scored the winner.
Weird Stat...
18 is the number. Orient have won 18 times against Newport but have also lost the same amount. With both side struggling to stay in the league it will be a high intensity game. The Exiles are well known for scoring but also conceeding just as many.
Remember when...
The last time the O's ventured down to Newport they let go of a two goal lead before Dean Cox found the winner half an hour from time. With everything that has went on at the club this week regarding the winding-up petition, the O's faifhful will welcome the three points.
Player to watch...
Both Rhys Healey and Joshua Sheehan are both on seven goals each. While no one is storming their top goalscorer, the team as a whole are findind the back of the net. Orient will have to watch the first ten minutes of the second half. This is vital if they are to take anything away from today's game.
