Match Preview

Slade waiting on Revell recovery Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade has an injury doubt over Alex Revell for the home clash with Oldham. The former Brighton and Southend striker limped out of Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Walsall in the 50th minute and will undergo a late fitness test. Jonathan Tehoue, who scored just five minutes after replacing Revell against the Saddlers, is on standby to deputise should Revell fail to recover in time. Midfielder Jimmy Smith remains a major doubt with the hamstring problem that has kept him out of the last three games, while defender Ben Chorley could also miss out again with an ongoing knee problem. Elliot Omozusi will continue to deputise for the latter as the Os look to extend their 12-game unbeaten run. Oldham boss Paul Dickov will assess the fitness of midfielder Dean Furman. Furman had missed two matches through suspension and was due back in midweek for the home clash against Sheffield Wednesday before being ruled out through illness. He only has a slight chance of returning at Orient and the virus that has swept through the club in recent weeks is also affecting striker Reuben Reid. He has been feeling unwell and may also be missing as the Latics bid to reignite their faltering play-off bid. Dickov`s men have not won in eight games, although they ended a six-match goal drought in midweek with Filipe Morais' strike against Wednesday, who won the match 3-2.

Match Report

M`Poku the hero for Orient Paul-Jose M'Poku stepped off the bench to grab a late winner for Leyton Orient as they continued to improve their play-off prospects, extending their unbeaten league run to 14 games with a 1-0 victory against Oldham. Belgium Under-19 international winger M`Poku, on loan from Tottenham, had only been on the pitch for seven minutes when he controlled a pass from midfielder Dean Cox and unleashed a 25-yard thunderbolt as the home side recorded their best run since 1962. The Os had totally dominated the first half but were unable to break down a resilient Latics defence who improved after the break, although they were indebted to a number of fine saves from goalkeeper Ben Amos as he twice denied Jonathan Tehoue and also kept out efforts from Cox and Matthew Spring. Oldham rarely tested the home defence, for whom on-loan defender Adam Barrett from Crystal Palace was outstanding on his debut. The visitors, who have not won in nine games and have taken just three points in that time, appeared destined to be heading for a hard-fought draw until M'Poku broke through with devastating results.
