AFTER their FA Cup exploits last weekend when they sent Coventry City spinning out of the competition, Rochdale return to the bread and butter of a league fixture at their bogey ground Brisbane Road.

Paul Simpson's side have never won in East London but he is hoping that his side can carry their splendid FA Cup form into tomorrow's (Saturday) game.

"What we need is a continuation of the form which showed last weekend. In fact, if we show the same energy, commitment and hard work as we have done in all our Cup games, then we won't go too far wrong either against Orient or for the rest of the season," he said.

Simpson is unlikely to make changes to the side although he now has the bonus of long-term injury victim Chris Beech being available after successfully completing a midweek reserve fixture.

KEY OPPONENT: Gary Alexander - striker who will be making his debut having just signed from Hull where he was the leading scorer.
