Feels like defeat - Bradbury

Bournemouth manager Lee Bradbury revealed it felt like his side had just been beaten after Orient's Dean Cox snatched a last-gasp equaliser to earn his side a 1-1 draw. Orient midfielder Cox rifled home an 89th-minute equaliser to deny Cherries boss Lee Bradbury a fourth successive league win after a fine individual goal by Michael Symes six minutes before half-time appeared to have secured maximum points for Bournemouth. Bradbury said: "The atmosphere in the dressing room feels like we've lost. To concede a late goal like that was very disappointing, especially as we'd wasted a great chance to wrap it up just before they equalised. "It has taken a lucky goal to stop us and the fact their goalkeeper was man-of-the-match says it all." Bradbury had words of comfort for Danny Ings and was full of praise for fellow striker Symes, who scored his first goal since September. Bradbury added: "I've told (Danny) strikers miss chances, to forget about it and go and score next time a chance comes along. Michael Symes, in contrast, scored a good goal for us. It was the first time he's scored since his early season flurry.
