Orient sit in the last play-off spot in League One as they visit HUDDERSFIELD today, level on points with Reading but with a plus-eight better goal difference.

It makes for a dramatic afternoon with READING at home to BARNSLEY.

STOCKPORT, WYCOMBE and CHARLTON have already secured the other three play-off spots with the final position up for grabs.

American TV executive David Gandler's (circle) 78.55 percent purchase was announced last week, with outgoing majority shareholder Nigel Travis remaining as Orient chairman.
