WHILE striker Wayne Gray would love to reel in former club Southend in the table for the Orient fans, he remains solely concerned about securing a play-off spot.
Former Wimbledon trainee Gray helped fire the Shrimpers to successive promotions during a productive spell at Roots Hall, but is only focused on achieving future success now.
And the 27-year-old, who scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory at Millwall on Saturday, believes the O's have what it takes to secure a top six finish now.
After securing their first back-to-back victories since September, Martin Ling's men sit level on points with sixth placed Walsall. They only remain a further two and three behind fierce rivals Southend and Nottingham Forest in fourth and third respectively - going into the home straight.
"I think we deserve to be involved in the play-off mix, because we've been up there for most of the season," stated Gray.
"At the moment there are three places up for grabs as it is still very tight up there.
"I'm sure the Orient fans would love us to pip Southend to one of those places, but the main thing for us is just getting in there no matter who is in front of us."
