Leyton Orient - Saturday 17/11/07

With no Crystal Palace on offer this season, Leyton Orient would be deemed as the Albions big derby day out. With an international weekend meaning no action from the top two leagues, Sky turned their focus to League One to fill the schedule, which meant that this meeting between two sides bidding for the play-offs would be the midday kick off. With this early start, it meant increased drinking potential over the day, as McCarthy and Potter were joined by Oli Wright for his first appearance of the season.

Wright has cleverly bought along a set of pork pies to help with the early alcohol consumption start
