Posh boss Lee Reynolds reflected on a missed opportunity tonight as Posh who 3 times came from behind in an exciting 3 all draw at home to Leyton Orient.
Posh coming off the back of 3 straight wins one of which was at home to leaders Bristol City were full of confidence and seemed they would make in 4 wins on the trot, but Orient had other ideas. They stunned the home side inside the first minute Bakayoko heading home.The home side didn't have to wait too long as the front 2 combined with Sigthorsson blasting the ball past the keeper, but good play with in a miniute by Robinson enabled Dagnell to the O's back in front.
Reynolds was becoming increasingly incensed with his back 3 and keeper who seem to be at sixes and sevens. Parity was restored as Zuffi slid in Sigthorsson who hit home his second and drew Posh level again. Orient were a constant threat in particularly Robinson who shot home a 3rd on 39rd minute to once again put Orient in front.
The second half was a different story as fewer chances were created until substitute Murphy on for Babacar with the change greeted by boos on 60 minutes got the leveller again on 79 minutes. Young Mandragora playing the ball into Murphy's run who dispatched with aplomb.
Orient were well worth their point but with Blackpool also drawing Reynolds was disappointed his side could not take advantage. "Fair play to Orient but our defending was amateurish. If we are to go up we must improve defensively. The division is a lot tougher with a number of new experienced managers joining". The one bonus again was the performance of the front 2 which drew praise from their boss, "The front 2 are really clicking since Sigthorsson recovered from his injury. They are beginning to show a great understanding and goals are coming too"
