Fabio Liverani: 'Leyton Orient have the quality to stay up'

Leyton Orient manager Fabio Liverani insists that his side have the "quality" to beat the League One drop after defeat to Rochdale left them two points from safety.

Leyton Orient manager Fabio Liverani maintains his belief that the club have enough quality to avoid relegation from League One.

A 1-0 defeat to Rochdale on Tuesday night left Orient, who were beaten playoff finalists last season, two points adrift of safety with two games remaining.

"Clearly we have to win both games and, at the same time, have to hope that the other teams don't do better than us," Liverani told BBC Sport.

"I believe in the players and believe we have the quality to win both games. Then, we will see."

The London club, sold by Barry Hearn to Italian businessman Francesco Becchetti in July 2014, face top-six sides Sheffield United and Swindon Town in their last two games of the campaign.
