Problems mount for Orient

Orient manager Paul Brush has some major injury worries ahead of tomorrow's visit of Lincoln City.

Rhys Evans, Matthew Lockwood, Ciaran Toner and Dave McGhee are all out, and Brush will start with the side that played from 10 minutes of Tuesday's 3-2 victory over QPR.

Brush, however, is confident that Orient have enough to see off sixth-placed Lincoln.

"We are good enough to cause any team problems," said Brush. "But it will be a very difficult game as they are full of confidence. They will work hard and try and hit us on the break.

"We need to get our league form right and learn to play for 90 minutes. We are very capable and should have more points by now."

Gary Fletcher scored his first goal for Orient against QPR, and Brush is pleased with the progress of the former Northwich Victoria frontman.

"I'm delighted for Gary as he's been working very hard," said Brush. "Hopefully his second goal will come quicker than his first. But we need to be focused on the game."
