LAST MEETING: Colchester United 1 Leyton Orient 0 (League One 28-12-2008.)
LAST TIME AT BRISBANE ROAD: Leyton Orient 0 Colchester United 2 (Football League Trophy 25-10-1997.)
HEAD TO HEAD: Leyton Orient eight wins, Colchester United 11 wins, and 12 draws.
FORM: Geraint Williams' former club now sit well off a play-off place. Colchester have endured a bad run of results of late and went down 1-0 at home to Leeds United on Saturday. Promotion back to the Championship is unlikely to happen this season.
DANGER MAN: The £400,000 signing Steven Gillespe is out injured, but Orient must beware of the threat of Mark Yates. The flair winger is dangerous from set pieces and is the U's top scorer.
FUN FACT: Indie DJ institution Steve Lamaq is a fan.
PREDICTION: Leyton Orient 2 Colchester United 1.
