McCallum: We need to focus on us

The key to Leyton Orient beating the drop is to not scout opposition and focus on themselves, according to Paul McCallum on Saturday.

The midfielder pegged a goal back for the hosts a minute after Jon Stead had put County 2-0 up just after the interval, Jorge Grant taking advantage of some poor defending to gift the visitors the lead 10 minutes before the break.

Teddy Mezague thought he had salvaged a point for Orient in the 81st minute only for County to once again capitalise on some poor defending, Stead securing all three points with six minutes to go.
