Stevenage Leyton Orient 2 Grimsby 1 Carlisle 1

-

ROSS EMBLETON felt Orient ‘set the standard’ as goals from Jordan MaguireDre­w and Conor Wilkinson put them on the fringe of the play-off places.

Manager Embleton said: “We’ve got a run of games that are going to be tough, but I’ve said to the team

I’m expecting us to win.

“We’ve set a standard now, it’s by no means finished.”

Opposite number Alex Revell said: “When you get those chances, you have to take them otherwise you get punished, and that’s what happened today.”

IAN HOLLOWAY was delighted with Grimsby’s point as Mattie Pollock’s first profession­al goal was cancelled out by a James McKeown own goal. Holloway said: “I’m delighted with the point.

“That’s probably the worst game I’ve ever seen from both teams. I’ve never seen so many mistakes.”

Carlisle head coach Chris Beech said: “They scored with their first opportunit­y really. It gave them impetus, but we got a gift.”
