- Ling eyeing play-off place
Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling is confident that his side can push on in the next few months to clinch a play-off place in League One.
The O's led the table in the early part of the campaign, but have slipped down to seventh place, ahead of a crucial clash with Nottingham Forest this weekend.
Ling told the Epping Forest Guardian: "We haven't had a great points return of late when you break the season up into five game blocks like I do, because we've only been averaging six or seven points.
"But I still think we can secure one of those four play-off spots and I'm looking for us to start putting some wins together and get the ratio up to nine and ten points from those five-game blocks.
"I feel 72 points might even be enough now, because everyone else has been struggling with their form, but given our poor goal difference we could still need 74 points."
