Purches seeks home comforts for Ling's men

Leyton Orient captain Stephen Purches fears the club's poor home form could prove to be their FA Cup undoing.

Martin Ling's struggling side entertain Sheffield United tomorrow having only won twice at Brisbane Road this season.

Purches said: "The home form has been the biggest disappointment this season. It isn't good enough and that's something we're determined to put right.

"It's important we stick together and keep creating chances because eventually things will start going for us.

"We'll keep on searching for the answers and we'd love to get the ball rolling by causing an FA Cup upset."

Midfielder Sean Thornton is suspended but Jason Demetriou and Sam Parkin are available after one-game bans.
