BRIAN SAAH says it is vitally important for Orient to bounce back from last week's defeat to Stockport with a positive result against Leicester on Saturday.

The 21-year-old defender opened the scoring for the Hatters last week with an unfortunate own goal, but he is determined to set the record straight against the Foxes.

"Leicester coming down to our place is a big game for us," he said. "I saw on Sky Sports News earlier this week that they'll be bringing over 2,000 fans here so there will be a good atmosphere at the ground.

"They will have a lot of supporters here and will make a lot of noise, and I'm sure our fans will be doing the same so we're all looking forward to it.

"At the back we've been quite solid. Before the Stockport game we kept three clean sheets in a row, and when you look back at last Saturday, it's not as if we conceded chance after chance.

"There was obviously the own goal from myself and another set piece goal in the first half, while we got caught on the counter attack for the third. Away from that, their chances in open play were limited so I think that we're not doing badly as a defensive unit.

"It is vital that we get back on track today though, and we need three points. Our start would have looked a lot more positive if we had won the games we drew against Carlisle and Brighton.

"The team is performing in a positive way because we were unfortunate not to take three points in both of those games.

"It has been an inconsistent start in terms of results, but in terms of performances I think there are a lot of positives to take from our start to the season."
