The O’s have hit the
net just once so far this term and Slade insists his side must improve in order
to avoid a season on the threshold of the relegation places.
Speaking to BBC Radio
London post match Slade said: “We were certainly in there for at least a point
and that would have been commendable after a tough game on Wednesday.
“Arguably we should
have got a goal in the first period, but we looked a bit tired and leggy
towards the end of the game.”
The slender defeat to
Crawley was the London club’s second consecutive 1-0 loss following Wednesday’s
defeat to Stevenage, and although Orient restricted their opponents to only a
handful of efforts on both occasions, Slade was left ruing his side’s lack of a
cutting edge.
He continued: “There’s nothing in the games, the last two
games it’s been 1-0 and we’ve reduced Crawley to only one or two chances today.
“We didn’t create
enough ourselves I think we need a bit more belief in and around the box, a bit
more quality.”
Leyton Orient’s lack
of creativity has left them submerged within the relegation places with tough
games just around the corner.
Slade takes his side
to promotion contenders Swindon Town on Saturday before two home matches with
neighbours Brentford and early pacesetters Yeovil Town.
