Leyton Orient boss feels his side should have beaten Peterborough United more easily
Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens felt his side should have scored more goals in their League One clash with Peterborough United at Brisbane Road on Saturday.
‘The Os’ won 2-1 to record back-to-back League One wins for the first time this season, thus easing their relegation fears. Wellens’ men are up to 19th, four points above the drop zone and four points behind Posh who are 14th.
The Orient subs played a key role in the win with Tyreeq Bakinson scoring the crucial second goal after a strong run from another replacement Theo Archibald.
In contrast Posh have a weak-looking bench primarily because of a raft of injuries to key players.
Wellens said: “Our subs have had a real impact in the last two games. It was a brilliant goal by Tyreeq, with the midfielder running forward and delivering a brilliant finish.
“I’m really pleased with the three points, but I’m disappointed with losing a goal from a set-play.
“We had a lot of chances and we could have scored a lot more goals. For spells, I was happy to give up possession.
“I wasn’t happy with the first 10 minutes of the second half because they pushed our wingers back and we couldn’t get out.
“But in the last half-hour of the game we should have scored more goals.”
