Ling delighted as Ibehre grabs opportunity

Martin Ling will take a full strength Orient squad to Cambridge for tonight's LDV Vans Trophy match.

"It's an important competition and we will be treating it with upmost respect," Ling said. However, the Orient manager admitted that some of his fringe players could get an opportunity to stake a claim for a regular starting spot.

But one player certain to retain his place is striker Jabo Ibehre, who has taken over from the injured Gary Alexander in attack.

"Jabo was our best player on Saturday along with Matthew Lockwood. He said that he is going to take his opportunity with both hands and that's what he's done," Ling said.
