O's Draw With Crawley Town and Bring Back a Familiar Face
This past week, Leyton Orient dealt with some adversity and hung on for a good point against Crawley Town. All odds were against the O’s after young midfielder Hector Kyprianou was sent off in the 30th minute. The defensive work of left-back and man of the match James Brophy stood out. He and his backline held strong and grinded defensively until the final whistle to get the point away from home.
This past week, Orient also announced the return of striker Tristian Abrahams on loan until the end of the season. This will no doubt be a boost to the O’s frontline as star striker Danny Johnson is sidelined due to injury. The O’s academy product featured in the 2017 season and found the net 18 times in 78 appearances in the 2019/2020 season for Newport County.
Abrahams could make his return to the starting lineup this weekend as Orient host Colchester United on Saturday. Kick-off will be for 3 PM GMT, 10 AM ET. The O’s are currently in 10th position in the table and are only three points off of the promotion playoff positions.
