MACCLESFIELD manager David Moss has warned his players to expect a backlash from Leyton Orient tomorrow after the sacking of manager Paul Brush.

"I expect the team they put out to try harder than ever - they are now all playing for their own careers, " he said.

With centre back Steve Macauley sidelined with concussion Karl Munroe and Michael Welch will continue their partnership at centre back for Macc.

Moss is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation that was so impressive against Rochdale, but there may be a quandary over whether to start with on-loan Steve Clark, an out and out winger, or Colin Little.

The only other casualty was leg injury victim George Abbey, but having had an outing in the reserves, he may challenge Steve Hitchen at right back.

LAST SEASON: Orient 3 Macc 2

KEY OPPONENT: Jabo Ibehre - talented striker.
