It is a trip to Brisbane Road next for the mighty whites, as we face an Orient side currently becalmed in mid table and experiencing a period of poor form. Orient deservedly beat us in the return fixture but did not look exceptional, and Rovers performance that night was a contender for worst display under Mike Jackson (which is saying something). If we match the performance level of last night I think we will win the game, and two very winnable home fixtures follow next week.
Orient's star performer is ex-Rovers loanee Danny Johnson, who is currently the third top scorer in League Two, and they can also call on the experience of Joby McAnuff.
I think we will start the game with the side that played the majority of the second half last night, with Morris selected ahead of the recovering Danny Lloyd, and O'Connor surely preferred to Nelson at right back even if Sid is fit. George Ray was excellent at Carlisle and deserves to keep his place.
If we are going to break into the top three and stay there, we will have to put a series of victories together as we did last month, and we should be targeting three points from this match.
