Welcome back to Brisbane Road for the third time in a week, as Orient take on Stockport County. The O’s got the better of County in the play-off semi-finals last season in two very entraining games. Stockport have started this season on fire with three straight wins, two in the league and one in the cup. Orient on the other hand have been a little inconsistent with one league win, a defeat to Huddersfield on opening day and a midweek cup loss to Wycombe.

1 min – Koroma picks up the ball on the right hand side and drives a cross in that is cleared by Stockport for an Orient corner which comes to nothing.

8 mins – Connelly earns Orient a corner, he had Clare to his right but opted to shoot. The ref blows for a foul on a Stockport player as the cross comes in.

18 mins – Great footwork from Beckles to dodge a tackle and play in Koroma who lets the ball run across his body before crossing to Connelly who’s shot is deflected wide for a throw in.

19 mins – Good play by Idris as he lays off Connelly who’s shot is deflected for a corner which comes to nothing. Connelly and Norwood are both booked for a scuffle in the aftermath of play.

22 mins – DJ is pushed over in the box but it looked soft as he’s caught in two minds chopping or shooting. Orient win a corner… it comes out to Idris but his half volley from the edge of the box is high and wide.

24 min – Great play by the O’s as O’Neill cuts it across the box to Koroma but the Stockport defender clears for a corner which comes to nothing.

26 mins – Simkin makes a blunder and gifts Stockport a corner…. luckily it’s over hit.

28 mins – What a goal by Stockport, great play, Diamond carries the ball, beats Beckles and Idris, lays it off to a midfielder, he lays it to the right wing back who crosses in and the attacker heads home. Best team goal I’ve seen in a long time.

33 mins – Diamond is booked for a late challenge on Clare in a 50/50 headed jewel.

34 mins – Dan Happe brings down Lowe the goalscorer and is booked.

35 mins – Stockport double their lead. A set piece is whipped in and their number 5 is unmarked and taps home. Shocking defending from Orient.

40 mins – Stockport keep bullying Orient on set-pieces. Down the other end, Orient have a shot blaze over the bar from DJ as he’s picked out from O’Neill.

42 mins – Orient are so lucky as Simkin pulls off a worldie save from another set-piece. No Orient player goes short, gifting Stockport all the freedom to cross. Stockport cross and Simkin denies Lowe.

45 mins – TJ has the ball nicked off him, Beckles covers and blocks Diamonds shot. Another Stockport corner to come… Stockport work a shot but Simkin’s gathers.

68 mins – Blatant penalty missed by the ref for the O’s as Ollie O’Neill is smashed down in the box. Beckles is then pushed over and Orient are awarded a free-kick. TJ whips in the resulting free-kick but it misses everyone.

76 mins – TJ overhits another free-kick. He’s had a stinker today.

86 mins – Orient are all over Stockport here looking for an equaliser.
