Northampton boss Jon Brady admitted he was gutted to concede so late in Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient.

The Cobblers turned the contest around after Rob Hunt’s early goal as Sam Hoskins scored twice in four second-half minutes, but Kieron Bowie then saw red for an apparent headbutt.JON BRADY LOOKING TO END FOREST GREEN'S UNBEATEN AWAY RECORD - News -  Northampton Town

Orient utterly dominated the final half-hour but they were made to wait until

Chances came and went but eventually they found a way through as Shaq Forde’s 96th minute equaliser salvaged a point.

“It’s hard to really comprehend,” admitted Brady. “I felt we got ourselves in a good position with 11 players out there.

“We stepped on the gas in the second half, turned it around and we find ourselves 2-1 and from there I thought we would go on and win the game and maybe score more goals.JON BRADY LOOKING TO END FOREST GREEN'S UNBEATEN AWAY RECORD - News -  Northampton Town

“Even in the first half, I felt we were the team having all of the entries into the final third. Yes, they had a few moments and there was a 10-minute period where they had a spell.

“It’s a disappointing goal to concede but then after that we were in the ascendancy and we pointed out a few technical things that we needed to improve at half-time and we did that.

“It made a big difference and Sam gets his goals, but the sending off changes the dynamic of the game. I didn’t see the incident because I was trying to organise our back-line at the time but all I heard was the linesman say there was a coming together and they were sending Kieron off. I’ll have to watch it back.”
