Cuthbert Agrees New Contract

April 28th, 2013

Total Orient

Scott Cuthbert has agreed a new two-year contract with Leyton Orient. The 25 year-old defender’s previous contract was set to expire this summer, but Russell Slade has moved quickly to secure a deal to keep Cuthbert at the club until June 2016. At the start of this season the Scottish centre back suffered a recurrence of the hamstring injury that he picked up in the previous campaign. His participation this season was also curtailed after he fractured a metatarsal against Preston in March. Despite these injury problems, Cuthbert still managed to make a significant contribution, playing 25 games this term. He also showed his versatility by performing well at right back as well as operating in his more natural position in the centre of defence.

Cuthbert joined the O’s from Swindon in June 2011 and to date he has made 62 appearances, scoring one goal. In his first season with the club he was voted Leyton Orient Player of the Year as well as winning Total Orient Player of the Year.

2012/13 Season Ends With A Draw – Leyton Orient 1 Oldham Athletic 1

April 28th, 2013

Total Orient

Leyton Orient ended the 2012/13 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Oldham. Jimmy Smith opened the scoring after ten minutes with a fine finish from the edge of the area which capped off a neat attacking move from the O’s. The hosts went in at the break with the lead, but in the first half there had been little to separate the two sides. Just after the restart, Kirk Millar brought the Latics level by taking advantage of some poor defending from the O’s. Both sides sought to end the season on a high but neither could find a way through. Dean Cox struck the post but as the match had no real significance the match petered out.

Match Preview: Coventry City v Leyton Orient – npower League One

April 20th, 2013

Total Orient

Leyton Orient are still clinging on to slim hopes of making the playoffs this season, but the chances of that happening are even less likely after results in mid-week did not go in Orient’s favour. A win against Coventry could take the playoff chase right to the final game of the season. Coventry were also in the playoff hunt, but a 10 point deduction effectively ended their season, resigning them to another season in League One. Here we preview Saturday’s clash:
