"Since that Huddersfield game (December 10th 2005) we've only two in 15 games at home. While we can't rely on it we know form is on our side.
"We've still got three games to go before the end of the first ten-game period. Our fans would like us to be in the top two but that's unlikely to be the case.
"Having said that two good results this week and one at Port Vale can see us safely in the top six."
Orient boss Martin Ling is looking to upset the odds
"Bristol City were second favourites with the bookies and although they've not had a scintillating start and are mid-table, I still believe they will be up there come the end of the season.
"It will be a tough test for the players against a team who will be looking to get a promotion push kick-started in front of a crowd who will generate a good atmosphere.
"And if, like Saturday (Orient drew at home to Brentford), we set our stall out with the mentality of keeping a clean sheet first, I still feel we have the ability in the team to go to the other end and score a goal."
