Ling favours fresh system for Orient

Martin Ling plans to revert to a 5-3-2 formation for the Boxing Day clash at Bristol Rovers in a bid to end Leyton Orient's poor run.

"We've conceded 12 goals in the last four games so a change of system might be on the cards," said the Orient boss.

Lee Steele and Gary Alexander are unlikely to be fit until the middle of January, while fellow forward Jabo Ibehre (knee) is also injured.
