So who is making the trip? Orient expecting a small crowd only one stand open for them, we can really make a difference in the stand behind the goal. Get yourself over to Leyton. I know we don't seem to be playing. Fluently but these lads do put a shift in.

Hope Ferrier is not injured as he went off holding is Hamstring. No extra time or penalties please!

1-0 to us Corey 1,426 (280 Away)

Don`t think there be a coach running tomorrow hopefully numbers increase enough to run one otherwise I`m playing sardines on the underground in the rush hour to get there earlier enough for couple of pre-match drinks.

Will be surprised if the gate does not surpass the amount we attracted. Mind you Orient apparently have over 3000 season ticket holders, so to officially attract less then a thousand to the first match was to me pretty poor.

We have one away win all season, in the first week of the season.

Being a cup game you can almost guarantee in which case that we'll win this one and then fail to win our next away game against Maidenhead!

Looking forward to this one and finally putting them out of their misery.

Very true but only two loses. Orient have 3 home defeats in a row and have won 3 at home including Solihull and Guiseley. All to play for.

Wouldnt surprise me to us put out a weakened(more than usual) team!

Yep. Ill be there. Some of us heading to the birkbeck tavern before the game.
2-0 Daggers.

i predict 1-0, just like 10 years ago , ben strevens winner, seems like yesterday

I can't say that I remember it that well as I had just popped for a slash and heard the cheer for Strevchenko's goal as I was leaving the gents.

Easiest place for me to get to of all the football clubs. 2 stops on the Central line and a short walk to see the Daggers stroll to the first round proper! Hope the refs not so lenient on the so many fouls that went mainly unpunished in the first match!

Really do not think this will be easy judging by what I saw on Saturday. We just seem to be unable to score, even more so when we’re away and play well. Whatever the result I just hope this doesn’t go into extra time with Wrexham on Saturday.

HT Orient 1 Dagenham 0

Maybe some of my fellow fans won't be too disappointed to depart the cup so early but I am and having drawn them at home I expected to win. To go out without a goal is quite sad and pretty indicative of our goal prowess at the moment. Hopefully Cheek coming back will rectify that.
