Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling has expressed his frustration that Nottingham Forest's clash with Carlisle on Tuesday has been called off.
Ling was hoping to take full advantage of Forest's long journey north when they play the Reds on Saturday, but the game at Brunton Park was called off due to a frozen pitch.
Ling said: "We were hoping the game would go ahead.
"Forest would have had a long trip up there and also an extra game in their legs before we played them."
