We Have To Stick Together - Slade

Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade has said that his side must stick together after the 1-0 defeat to Coventry City.

Speaking to the Press Association, Slade said; "It's a very disappointed changing room and it's at times like these that you have to close ranks and stick together.

"You don't want any blame mentality in your football club, it's all about trusting each other and keep trying to do the right things.

"The important thing was that we created chances, although we didn't put the ball in the back of the net. But it was important that we were creating those opportunities. Our quality was better and it's a question of still believing. We wanted to be better from set-plays and I think were and I thought that our attitude was excellent."

The game was decided by one goal which came in the sixth minute when a fumble by home keeper Ryan Allsop allowed David McGoldrick to score. Slade said that this was a mistake, saying; "Everybody knows our keeper has made a mistake and he's honest enough to have admitted it. That's all it was, a simple mistake. But let's be honest, he hasn't made many this season has he? He's been in excellent form throughout the season and it's just a pity that it's cost a us a football match. One mistake - but it proved really costly."
