[mos59]

Leyton Orient to win by three clear goals,i think!

Brentford to win,us to finish third,Posh or Mk dons in play offs.

Orient win suits us best bearing in mind we play Brentford in a couple of weeks, beat them & a 6 point swing is massive.

After looking at the table again, I believe that we need Leyton Orient to beat Brentford for us to have any chance of getting automatic promotion.

Assuming we beat Walsall:

If Brentford win they will go 11pts clear of us if they win their game in hand

A draw will leave us 9pts behind Brentford if they win their game in hand

A Leyton Orient win will leave us 6pts behind them if we win our game in hand and 8pts behind Brentford if they win their game in hand.

My thoughts exactly. If Brentford win this, and their game in hand at Sheff U, we would need to beat them and then claw back another 8 points over 9 games. That is a tough ask, baring in mind how few points Brentford drop. I don't see them winning at Sheff U though, so it could be 6 points over 9 games. Which is still tough to be honest.

A draw would be best, just to stop either side from gaining confidence. Both of them have demonstrated that they can go on long winning

Well, I'm in a minority of one but I'll back my own judgement. We need one of the top 3 to collapse so hopefully we can exert pressure on the remaining 2. A draw won't do it. I take comfort from the fact that the experts on here confidently predicted Orient would be a flash in the pan when someone (can't remember who it was)suggested they were a bargain handicap bet at +22.

I think Brin mentioned them before I did, I have a A£10 win double on the handicap Orient +22 and Rochdale + 18 both at 18-1 I also have Ipswich in a treble but they will let me down as it looks like Burnley will win the Championship handicap
