BRIAN SAAH believes a play-off spot is there for the taking.

Orient sit just two points off the top six following last weekend's draw at Brighton and the 21-year-old defender says that a win over Huddersfield at the weekend could spark the run the O's need.

"If we play well and do things right on Saturday, we'll have a good chance of getting the three points and that would allow us to build on things for the Swindon game," he said.

"At this stage of the season, draws aren't really good enough for us. Obviously it's important not to lose games, but if we are going to make it into the top six, we're going to have to take maximum points on as many occasions as possible.

"If we had held on last Saturday, we'd have gone level with Tranmere and kept Brighton a bit further behind us. That shows you the difference between winning and drawing, especially when there are so many clubs involved in the play-off race.

"It would have been a good psychological boost for us to have gone back equal on points with the sixth-placed team, but we're not too far off it and it's all to play for.

"We showed at the start of the season that we're capable of putting a good run together and getting a lot of points in a short space of time. We're now entering the crunch period of the season and if we could match that early form now it would certainly give us a chance of promotion."
