Only way is up for McGleish as Orient ease survival fears

Ian Winrow
9 Mar 2009


Scott McGleish is convinced Leyton Orient have turned the corner in their survival battle after their 2-1 win over Brighton, writes Ian Winrow.

The striker said: "If we beat Carlisle tomorrow, we will drag them back into it."

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett will retain his new-look strikeforce against Northampton tomorrow following a 2-1 win over Huddersfield.

He said: "We've asked James Henry and Dave Martin to play higher up."

Brentford defender Alan Bennett slammed Rotherham's Pablo Mills for the challenge that hospitalised Nathan Elder during the sides' goalless draw.

After watching his side suffer a fourth straight home defeat, against Morecambe, Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still said: "When confidence is low you get down."

Barnet boss Ian Hendon insists his side can shock Brentford tomorrow. Hendon, whose side beat Chester 3-1 on Saturday, said: "It will be tough game for them."
