Leyton Orient boss Martin Ling was upset after his side followed up Saturday's 5-0 defeat at Bournemouth by losing 4-1 to Brighton on Tuesday.
"The last two games have not been good enough, and the nine goals against means we have conceded the most in the division," Ling fumed.
"People are going to start saying that after a 5-0 and a 4-1 that we are dead in the water.
"But when our backs are against the wall, we will come out fighting."
