Crewe witness a near-mutiny in east London

Leyton Orient 0-2 Crewe

THE message from Brisbane Road on Saturday was clear: Leyton Orient are in a right mess and owner Francesco Becchetti is no longer wanted.

The “Becchetti Out” chants grew as the game went on but are not new. However, following this 2-0 defeat to Crewe, who came into the game winless in seven, Orient find themselves second from bottom in League Two and the supporters have had enough.

One goal at home since August, seven defeats in eight games at Brisbane Road, fans know this is the form of a team who will be spending next season out of the Football League.
