ORIENT'S winless run was extended to eight matches after they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Stockport County on Saturday.

Tamika Mkandawire's 88th minute strike was little more than a consolation for a disappointing O's side, who were beaten by second half goals from Nicholas Bignall and Greg Tansey.

On a miserable afternoon for the visitors, Stephen Purches suffered a fractured cheekbone in the first half, and there was little to raise their spirits on the pitch either.
