Leyton Orient pack their bags to visit Shrewsbury Town at Gay Meadow on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The O's will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 5 of the 22 games.
The previous match played between the two at Gay Meadow was within the last three years, in September 2002, the Shrews carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.
