Orient punished in game of moments as Wycombe edge five-goal thriller at Brisbane Road

Leyton Orient’s wait for a first home league victory of the season continues after a frustrating 2-3 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers at Brisbane Road. The O’s twice responded after falling behind, but defensive mistakes and set-piece vulnerability proved costly as the visitors held on despite second-half pressure from Orient.

Leyton Orient return to League One action this afternoon as they take on Wycombe Wanderers in an early 12:30pm kick-off. Richie Wellens’ side arrive looking to record their first home league victory of the season, having enjoyed their best results on the road so far.

The O’s have already claimed an impressive 0-2 victory at Wigan Athletic and a thumping 0-5 win at Bromley, while also earning a 1-1 draw at Luton Town. Orient will now be hoping to translate that away form to Brisbane Road and bounce back from the disappointment of Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup exit at home to Bradford City.
