Orient continue slide down league

Leyton Orient lost 3-1 at Bournemouth and are in danger of being dragged into a relegation struggle after three successive defeats.

Lee Thorpe scored a last-minute consolation but Orient were well beaten after conceding two own-goals in the first 17 minutes and manager Paul Brush believes that his team's problems are due to inexperience.

Brush said: "We had a very young team out there and Bournemouth were too good for us. They are a very good team and it showed. Their passing and movement was too good for us. The only plus is the fact that we didn't give up."
