Stevenage boss Paul Tisdale has been speaking after Boro drew 2-2 at Leyton Orient.

A last-gasp leveller by The Os Theo Archibald earned a share of the spoils to deny Stevenage a hard-fought victory on Saturday afternoon.

The equaliser came after Luke Prosser put the visitors ahead in the 24th minute, before Matt Harrold's side made it 1-1 on the half hour mark through Ruel Sotiriou.

Two minutes later, Luke Norris grabbed what many thought would be the winner on a cold afternoon in East London.

However, that was before former Celtic academy graduate, Archibald, broke Boro's hearts in the 94th minute to make it 2-2 - to the delight of the majority in the crowd of 4,558 at Brisbane Road.

Reflecting on the match that saw Stevenage slip to 19th, Tisdale said: "It does feel like two points dropped," adding, "We played so, so well.

'We were first to every ball, we didn't sit deep we looked for a third.

"We really didn't give them a sniff. We totally deserved opportunities and we took them. I'm disappointed we didn't nick a third. We scored two well taken goals."

Tisdale also took time to hail the travelling support, saying: "I'd like to thank them," adding: "I've very proud of our players."
