Head2Head & Early Team News - Leyton Orient (H)

Last updated : 28 December 2006 By Deano
To say Alan knill faces a defensive injury headache would probably be an understatement at the moment, with two of his centre backs set to miss the game. Just as Pablo Mills (left) looks likely to return to the starting line up, skipper Ian Sharps must sit out a one game suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the season at Swansea last Saturday and Colin Murdock still isn't fit to return.

This means David Worrell is almost certain to continue at centre half, with
ankle damage
Scott Wiseman at right back. The Millers manager is also set to be without a recognised left back, as Gregor Robertson is not expected to be fit after damaging ankle ligaments in Tuesday's 3-2 defeat to Oldham. Worrell could step into Gregor's role having played there before for Plymouth, if knill decides to blood one of his young defenders like Liam King who has been on the bench the last two games.

Lee Williamson could also return to the side after he stepped up training last week, other than that it's make do and dig in with what we have.

The O's had won their previous two away games which has seen them move out of the League One drop zone, but come into this one on the back of a home draw with Crewe and a 2-1 Boxing Day defeat at Gillingham.

Good news for them is that captain John Mackie is able to play despite picking up his fifth booking at Gillingham, as the bans for bookings don't kick in for seven days. However midfielder Luke Guttridge, sent off in the same game, will sit out the clash.

Criag Easton should return though after suspension, this could mean Donny Barnard drops to the bench. Youngster James Walker on loan from Charlton and dangerman Gary Alexander will make up the front two. Ohter threats come from left winger Wayne Corden and set piece specialist and penalty taker Matt Lockwood, the longest serving player currently with the club.

Last time out v Gillingham:

Garner, Miller, Mackie, Saah, Lockwood, Chambers, Guttridge, Barnard, Corden (Connor 89), Alexander (Demetriou 84), Walker (Ibehre 83).
Subs Not Used: Morris, Keith.

Sent Off: Guttridge (71).
Booked: Guttridge, Mackie.
Goals: Walker 35.
