ORIENT's midfield maestro Sean Thornton still has much do to to get match fit.

Boss Geraint Williams said the club is being cautious as Thornton recovers from a knee operation.

He was on the pitch and running with a ball last Saturday, but only after the final whistle had been blown.

Williams said: "we’re taking it bit by bit. We’re puching harder and harder and if it doesn't get worse or sore, we’re looking to get him back in contention."
