Brighton midfielder Alzate leaning on Leyton Orient experience for Prem survival bid | OneFootball

Brighton midfielder Steven Alzate says he's leaning on his experience with Leyton Orient to boost their Premier League survival chances.

Four years ago, the O's dropped out of the Football League to the backdrop of internal chaos.

Alzate told The Sun: “I remember that season being a bit hectic, a bit crazy. I must have had at least four different managers.

“At one point, quite a few of the youngsters got chucked in to play because the squad wasn't getting paid, so a few players refused to play.

“I had made my debut just before that madness. So it was a bit of a crazy one but I had to make the most of my opportunity and show what I could do."

The Londoner added: “Naturally, if you're towards the bottom of the table, you're going to be thinking 'we need points ASAP'.

“I feel we shouldn't be panicking too much because we have been playing good football.

“Sometimes we have lacked that cutting edge. We haven't scored as many as we want to.

“But we are aiming to keep working well as a team, keep playing well and I'm sure the goals will come.

“I feel we shouldn't be too worried about relegation at this moment."
