Cherries: Bradbury expects Orient express

BOSS Lee Bradbury believes the Dean Court faithful could be treated to another open encounter as Cherries bid to derail the Leyton Orient express. Cherries' impressive home record the best in League One is likely to face a stern examination from Russell Slade's FA Cup giant-killers. The Os, with just one defeat in their past 17 games, will host Arsenal in the fifth round after winning away at Championship high-fliers Norwich and Swansea last month. Currently 15th and just three points above the relegation zone, the Londoners arrive in Dorset on the back of a run that has seen them lose only one league game in 10. Bradbury said: Orient are on a great run at the moment and we are under no illusions that it will be a tough game. They might come here and line up 4-4-2 because they have been going for it away from home. It would be a compliment to us if they went 4-5-1 because we have got the best home record in the division so it will be interesting to see how they approach the game. All we can do is concentrate on how we are going to approach the game. It will be the same as every home game and we want to win. We will try to take the game to them and make them deal with our problems. They could have one eye on playing Arsenal and, hopefully, for our sakes, they will. The league table does seem to lie in their case because their current form is excellent. It is going to be a tough game but should be a good game for the neutral. Defender Rhoys Wiggins (calf) remains a doubt for Cherries, while new signings Mathieu Baudry and Ben Williamson could feature on the bench should their respective international clearances come through in time. Cherries: (from) Jalal, A Smith, Cooper, Pearce, Cummings, Feeney, Robinson, Hollands, Pugh, Ings, Symes, Fletcher, Partington, Purches, Arter, Nelson, Baudry, Williamson, Stewart. Orient: (from) Jones, Whing, Chorley, Forbes, Daniels, Spring, J Smith, Revell, Tehoue, McGleish, Dawson, Crowe, M'Poku, Carroll, Jarvis, Kane, Omozusi, Butcher. Cherries winger Liam Feeney has been nominated the npower League One Player of the Month award for January. Feeney is up against Brighton's Elliott Bennett, Craig Dawson of Rochdale and Yeovil Town's Paul Huntington.
