O'Driscoll unhappy with mistake

Sean O'Driscoll despaired at the goalkeeping error by Elliot Parish in Bristol City's 2-2 draw with promotion-chasing Leyton Orient.

David Mooney gave Orient a first-half lead before Sam Baldock levelled just before the hour mark. The visitors were gifted a second when Dean Cox tapped home after Parish fumbled a harmless shot from Moses Odubaj. Although Orient defender Scott Cuthbert bundled the ball into his own net just minutes later to ultimately give the Robins a share of the spoils, O'Driscoll was frustrated with his side. "We have shot ourselves in the foot so many times with mistakes. It is the story of our season," he said. "Orient are a team capable of winning League One by a street if they keep players free from injury and suspension. "Their front two are the best in the division and they can run riot if you let them, so I thought we came out of the game with a lot of credit. "We have never lost belief in ourselves this season, but it is a time of transition at the club and that inevitably takes time. "The players showed just as much character against Sheffield United on Saturday, but because we lost it went unnoticed."
