ORIENT players held a ‘clear the air’ summit after Saturday’s defeat at Stockport.

The team stayed holed up in the changing rooms after the final whistle, as boss Geraint Williams led a long post-mortem into the half-hearted display.

Orient lost 2-1 to goals by Nicholas Bignall and Greg Tansey in the second half.

Defender Tamika Mkandawire hit a late consolation, on 88 minutes.

But the game was far beyond them by then.

Midfielder Jason Demetriou told the Guardian: “After the final whistle there were a lot of things said which we needed to get out there.

“The mood in the camp has been a bit tender since the Stockport game.

"We need to cut out individual mistakes and everyone needs to stick to the game plan.

“But now we’ve put them aside, and the mood is good.”
