Match Preview

Byrom fitness uncertain Stevenage will assess Joel Byrom ahead of the visit of Leyton Orient. After earning the praise of manager Graham Westley for his performance in the 6-1 demolition of Colchester on Boxing Day, Byrom missed the trip to Wycombe on New Year's Eve because of a back strain. The midfielder will continue to be monitored and a late decision will be made on his fitness. Arsenal loan pair Luke Freeman and Chuks Aneke staked their claim for starts against the Os with match-changing displays from the bench to inspire a 1-0 win at Adams Park. Striker Byron Harrison and midfielder Robin Shroot are also options for Westley, whose side finished 2011 with an 11-game unbeaten run in npower League One. Striker Ben May will complete a three-match suspension. Adam Chicksen is poised to make his Leyton Orient debut. The 20-year-old has moved to Brisbane Road on a month's loan from MK Dons to replace Tony Craig at left-back after he was recalled by Millwall last week. Goalkeeper David Button has also been recalled from his loan spell a week early by Tottenham and has since joined npower Championship side Doncaster so Lee Butcher continues between the sticks as regular number one Jamie Jones is still recovering from a shoulder injury. Boss Russell Slade has no new injury worries and was able to introduce key midfielder Dean Cox as a late substitute in the surprise 1-0 win over leaders Charlton on Saturday after his recent spell on the sidelines with a knee ligament injury.

Match Report

Cook rustles up a treat for Orient Lee Cook's solitary strike was enough to help Leyton Orient end Stevenage's 11-game unbeaten run with a 1-0 victory in a fiery npower League One encounter that saw both teams finish with 10 men. Cook, on loan from Barclays Premier League outfit QPR, produced the only bit of quality on 15 minutes when he fired a superb shot past the helpless Stevenage stopper Chris Day. Boro were handed a lifeline when Orient defender Ben Chorley saw red in first-half stoppage time but, after Luke Freeman's tame effort was saved, the home side's challenge was ended when fellow sub Chuks Aneke was sent off. Cook fired his current club ahead on on the quarter-hour mark when he cut in from the right wing and curled a left-footed shot into the top corner from 20 yards. The 29-year-old winger, who joined in late November, crossed for Marc Laird 10 minutes later only for Laird to volley straight at Day. Orient were reduced to 10 men in first-half stoppage time when referee Darren Sheldrake handed defender Chorley a straight red after he clashed with Boro striker Chris Beardsley. Boro boss Graham Westley threw on on-loan Arsenal pair Aneke and Freeman but the former lasted only nine minutes before he was sent off for a dangerous high challenge on Terrell Forbes in the 75th minute as Boro's unbeaten league run was ended.
