Alexander: Looking for his first goal
It's fair to say that Gary Alexander has been struggling in front of goal lately. In fact, the former Leyton Orient striker hasn't scored for The Lions since the pre-season friendly against Sierra Leone, so what's the betting he'll net his first at his old hunty ground at Brisbane Road?

Alexander returns to the squad having missed the FA Cup win over Bournemouth at the weekend through suspension and although manager Kenny Jackett is keeping his cards close to his chest, the striker is expected to start up front.

"Gary Alexander is added to the 16 who were on duty against Bournemouth on Saturday," confirmed the Millwall boss to the club's official site. "The players have put in plenty of effort in the last four games and the spirit in the squad is tremendous so we'll go there looking to extend our recent run of good form.

"Orient have been going very well and are currently second in the table so I'm expecting a very hard game."

As for Alexander, you can get 8/1 on him scoring the first goal tonight, with Bet365 offering 12/5 on him scoring at any time during the 90 minutes.
