Steve Davis says his team will have to match Orient's work ethic

Steve Davis says his Crewe Alexandra side will have to match Leyton Orient’s physicality if we are to take points off of the current League leaders for the first time this season. The Alex boss appreciates it will be another tough encounter at the Matchroom Stadium, but says it will be an early season marker.  

Steve told the club’s official web-site: “It is tough league and always a challenge whoever we face. It will be another hard game and we will have to go down there and fight to win. We will have to match them and stand up to them physically.

“We know they are a good team and the difference will be which club shows that quality in both boxes.

“We have defended better in the last two games as a team and we will need that level of consistency again.”
