Slade targets loan striker

27 October 2010 18:00
Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade is set to dip into the loan market before his side's game against Rochdale on Saturday. The Os manager has striking problems as Scott McGleish, Jonathan Tehoue and on-loan Paul-Jose Mpoku have all been ruled out for the visit of Dale, and Slade has drawn up a number of targets. "I'm trying to get somebody in, with injuries and suspensions starting to kick in I just need to strengthen things up a bit," he told the Ilford Recorder. "We are coming into a busy period with two games a week and hopefully something will happen before Saturday. "Scott could have a couple of broken ribs and Jonathan hasn't trained all week and has gone down with a virus."
