Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade told 91热爆 London 94.9:
Post-match: Orient manager Slade
"This game can be very hurtful at times, and with a few minutes to go we should be able to see games out.
"It's disappointing and something we need to address. We gave a free-kick away for the first one, and for the second one we've given the ball away in the middle of the park when we had decent possession. Really, those goals were avoidable.
"Make no mistake, they are a good side and were in the Championship last season. If they had lost the game today, it would have been unfair on them."
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson told 91热爆 Radio Cambridgeshire:
Post-match: Peterborough boss Ferguson
"I thought we played very well. Our shape looked good and I thought we looked quite solid against a really good team that are going really well.
"We lost a poor goal but to come back the way we did with a good header by Britt [Assombalonga] and Tommy's won it for us - I thought we thoroughly deserved it.
"We've had a lot of hard luck stories but you can't keep saying that we were unlucky. We've come back and we've not done that in a while against a team that's flying high."
