Orient midfielder Sammy Moore felt sorry for the club’s fans after their season fizzled out on Saturday.

Their 1-0 loss away at AFC Wimbledon and Portsmouth's 2-1 success against Wycombe Wanderers means the O’s can no longer make it into the play-offs.

Moore, who joined Orient last summer after five years with the Wombles, admitted it was sad to see a campaign which had promised so much unravel in a season which has seen them have three managers.

“We’re all disappointed,” Moore said.

“I feel for the fans. We had a great following again, but it feels like we’ve let the fans down.

“Everyone’s given their all and we are disappointed that we haven’t returned the favour to our fans, who have been magnificent all season.

“They have sung their hearts out and I feel personally we haven’t been good enough and it’s a shame really.”

Moore believes a lack of consistency ultimately curtailed Orient’s promotion challenge despite a bright start to the season which saw them win their first five League Two matches.

He said: “You can point at a lot of things when saying what’s gone wrong, but I’m not going to go into them.

“I think we haven’t been consistent enough throughout the season and have never really gone on a run.

“When you look at Wimbledon, they have won five out of five and are probably going to be in the play-offs.

“Looking at it, we haven’t been good enough all over the season and if you aren't consistent enough, you are not going to get in the play-offs and go up.”

He added the attitude of the side has not changed since the shock sacking of Kevin Nolan earlier this month.

The 28-year-old said the former Bolton Wanderers, Newcastle United and West Ham United midfielder made a real impact during his brief stint in charge.

Moore said: “When Kevin [Nolan] came in, the boys were buzzing. A new manager comes in, brings fresh ideas and you could see in the performances that everyone was fighting for the shirt.

“There was a great team spirit and we still have got that, but when the games have come, we simply haven’t been good enough.”

Looking back at Saturday’s defeat, Orient’s fifth in their last seven, Moore felt the side lacked a “cutting edge” to break through Wimbledon’s defence.

“It was tough out there at times,” he said.

“They [Wimbledon] took their chance when it came to them and it has been a tough afternoon for us, but we’ve got two more games now and we just have to get on with things.

“We managed to get six or seven half chances, but we weren’t good enough in the final third and if you don’t score, you don’t win games.”
