Looking for another 3 points this Saturday, although as I will be at the Electric Picnic Festival over here for 3 whole days I will miss the game.

However Orient have yet to find their away form so far this season and are 4 points behind us in the league.

I'm gonna go for 2-0 to us (Mullin & Greenacre to score).

Come On Rovers!!!

And!

I looked up a head to head and the last 3 times we've played Leyton Orient in Prenton Park, we've beaten them 3-0 everytime so it has to be a sign. I'm gonna change my prediction to.....

3-0!

Well the last few league games I have predicted on we have won and I have predicted a loss, so I will go for 1-0 to Orient. (Although my gut instinct says 2-2.)

Always bet on a home win when the lads are playing at PP. 2-0.

Incidently, I've never heard of the Electric Picnic Festival so I did my research and there are some top bands on! Don't miss the Super Furries, top band! :)

If we're serious play-off contenders, this is the kind of game we must win. Don't really know that much about Orient, they came up last season and have lost both league games on their travels. 2-1 Rovers.

I think obviously anything less than a win on Saturday would be a disappointment and we will see how far we have come... if this had been last season it would be a game we expected to win but didn't so we will see if this year we may win some of these games. A win on Saturday would really get us going... it would mean three straight league wins and confidence being on the up going into the Bristol game on the friday (they won 3-1 away at Northampton tonight by the way). Obviously 6 points from the next two games should be the aim but I think if we beat Orient on Saturday then a draw against Bristol a week on friday wouldn't be a disaster and so it's important to try and take advantage and try and take the 3 points on Saturday! Come on Rovers!!!

I wouldn't read too much into Bristol beating Northampton 3-1 considering 2 of the goals were penalties so other than that Bristol are still hanging around the low end. Which does surprise me because I had expected better from them this season.

But they did play well with just 10 men and made chances. They have a top Keeper, Basso. Did anyone watch the game last night? Aiston was fairly shocking, didn't want to run.

I dont like predicting rovers scores but I really want our home form to stay at 100%. I dont know how to look at this game have people saying to me that we should win easy then other people saying to me that they are no push overs so I dont know what to expect. But there are no push overs in the league is there?

I don't think Orient will be pushovers but if we can get a couple of early goals then we may get a comfortable win. We have to get at them from the start and not let them settle!

Would love us to beat them well because I know a couple of Orient fans. Looking on Orient forum websites their fans aren't too confident... we need to get at them and score early on.

Team: Ward, Stockdale, McCready, Goodison, Sherriff, Shuker, McLaren, Mullin, Ellison, Greenacre, Taylor.

Subs: Achterberg, Tremarco, McAteer, Jennings, Davies.

They have Joe Keith playing for them who always seems to score against us or at least cause us problems!

Haha, look how casual BBC are when reporting the goal, like its a six yard tap in! :lol:

BBC said:
Lee Steele (Leyton Orient) caught offside. Free kick scored by Gavin Ward (Tranmere) left-footed (top-right of goal) from own half (35+ yards).Tranmere 1-0 Leyton Orient.

Was a free kick from 80 yards and bounced over their keeper and went in. We aint been great second half but good to see Greenacre getting a couple.
