Hopefully if we can carry on where we left off (in terms of the second half performance) against Carlisle then i'm hoping we'll win 2-0 or 2-1. But if not it'll be 1-1

According to the BBC website, Butler is in contention after recovering from a virus.

Ever the optimist - I'll say that Butler is fighting fit, raring to go, can't wait to pull on the vomit-inducing away kit, and scores our winner having come on as a sub (Ishy making way before he gets red-carded).

0-1 to Walsall - Clayton's got to start his clean sheet run some tim :wink:

I had a dream last night that we won 4-0 and that Orient had two players sent off. Then again, Merson was on Sky and making sense so it clearly isn't going to happen!!

Back to reality, a 1-1 nailbiting draw. Typical first half, better second and we all walk away breathing a sigh of relief and feeling a bit like after Carlisle. Asbo to score for us, 804 saddlers in attendance.

I think I would be happy with a draw to be honest. Its a point away from home at the end of the day and it will be a confidence booster for the rest of the season

1-1 (Mooney) is my prediction

Draw at best for me too - 1-1, us scoring early through Dann then holding on gamely until the 90th minute.

Leyton Orient v Walsall
Leyton Orient welcome back skipper Stephen Purches, who missed the midweek Carling Cup tie with an ankle injury.

Sean Thornton also sat out the win over QPR, but will contest a midfield spot with Adam Chambers and Jason Demetriou.

Ishmel Demontagnac is available for Walsall after serving a two-match ban hung over from last season.

Striker Martin Butler is in contention after recovering from a virus, but midfielder Edrissa Sonko is sidelined with hamstring problems.


Bit confused by this , Earlier this week DD said Butler would be ready to resume full training on Monday and in contention for Swansea .

yes.. Money said on the Friday buildup interview on SaddlersWorld that Butler won't play since he havent recovered from his virus infection.
Butler will be fully fit for Swansea next Saturday.

:shock:

Where will Ishy play then? Left wing... I doubt Money will drop Fox that easy.

Money have hinted that Ishy can play on the right side too... mabye a replacement for Hall?

Ince
Weston, Dann, Gerrard, Boertien
Ishy, Sonner, Dobson, Fox
Wrack, Mooney?

If Wrack play I would have him on right wing and Ishy on top with Mooney.

Scott Dann's in good company - Zigor's been booked for Carlisle.

Half-time.... Leyton Orient 0 Walsall 0

I'd be reasonably happy with that at full-time, thank you very much.
