Slade happy to halt Robins

Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade was delighted it was his side who ended Swindon's long unbeaten run at the County Ground.
The Robins went into the game boasting a 28-game unbeaten home run in all competitions stretching back to August 30 last year. However, Lee Cook's 59th-minute goal consigned them to their third defeat in six days after a 4-1 league loss at Preston on Sunday and a 1-0 reverse in midweek in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy to local rivals Oxford. After seeing Orient get their first points of the season on the board, Slade said: "Our dressing room was a happy place to be. This result was coming for some time. We took the game to them and created two good chances in the first half and I think we always looked likely to get a winner. "Swindon are a good side and will bounce back. This was the first time they have lost at home since August 2011 and the record was there to be broken and I am pleased it was us who did it. "We have two home games coming up to make the most of this result and things are looking a lot brighter."
