Wrexham must beware of Stockport's conquerors Leyton Orient

Wrexham might be wise to avoid regarding Saturday's opponents Leyton Orient as fitting the phrase "only as good as their last game".
Orient drew 2-2 against Peterborough United on Tuesday night, but that was after their 4-1 win at Stockport County last weekend - the team that beat Phil Parkinson's side to the League Two title last season.
While Wrexham celebrated their back-to-back promotions, Stockport finished four points clear at the top of the 2023-24 table.
Such is the disparity in League One budgets, Orient's manager Richie Wellens described it as "bonkers" when they were winless four games into this new campaign while Wrexham were already top.
Wellens believes the race for promotion is wide open in League One this season, and the improving hosts will look to rub that point home against leaders Wrexham on Saturday.
