Tues 6th Mar 2001 - Leyton Orient preview |
| March Headlines |
Leo Fortune West returns for tonight promotion clash at Ninian park. Leo has served
his two match suspention and could replace Kyle Lightbourne in the City attack. Its
possible that Leo and Rob Earnshaw could join up again after several weeks of one or other
being unavailable. There is one definate change, Andy Legg starts his suspension and misses the next three games. Legg will be replaced at sweeper by Rhys Weston and its likely that Kevin Evans will team up with Willie Boland in midfield. So City have options upfront. Lightbourne / Brayson, Leo / Earnie, Lightbourne / Earnie or Leo / Brayson. I think Corky would like to see Leo and Earnie back together, Earnie though suffered a cut head last Friday but should be OK for tonight. City probable Walton, Weston, Brazier, Young, Hughes, Gabbidon, Boland, Evans, Bowen, 2 from Leo / Earnie / Lightbourne / Brayson. Subs from Nogan, Collins, Fowler, Giles, Jordan plus the two left out strikers. Orient arrive with suspension problems of their own. Defender Dave McGhee begins a four-match ban, midfielder Andy Harris serves a one match suspension while striker Carl Griffiths sits out the second of his three-match ban. Cardiff are 10 points ahead of Orient who are 5th. A win tonight for City would create a massive 13 point gap over the Londoners and would surely end their hopes of catching City. Another 10,000 plus crowd is anticipated, tickets are available on the gate. |
