Ling says play-off dream is lost

Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling believes his side's play-off hopes are over after back-to-back defeats.

The O's lost 1-0 at Cheltenham on Monday and are only three points behind the top six in League One.

But Ling told BBC London 94.9: "Deep down the loss has probably put paid to the play-offs. We've got 18 points available, that would take us to 74.

"Mathematically it's still possible but realistically its getting out of the realms of our reach at the moment."

He added: "We got back into it with the Swindon and Millwall wins and now we are starting to suffer again with two quick defeats."
