He told the Derby Telegraph: “The performance was not us at our best. Portsmouth came here in really good fettle, they haven’t lost a game and kept going right until the end.

“But to concede one so late on and I’ve been told it hits Marlon Pack’s arm in the build-up which is disappointing. But you can’t allow Bishop on his own in the six when you’ve got three centre-backs on.

“We will obviously play a lot better and we will play a lot better and lose. But once you’ve got your head in front, we should be able to see the game out and that’s what’s disappointing.”

Carlisle United will be without striker Josh Kayode for three months after the club disclosed the Republic of Ireland Under-21 star has a torn muscle in his shoulder.

On transfer deadline day, the 23-year-old joined the Cumbrians on a season-long loan from Championship club Rotherham United and has made two appearances for Paul Simpson’s side.

However, a shoulder injury means Kayode will be out for a lengthy period of time, with Cumbrians coach Simpson confirming he will have surgery later this month.

“He went for a scan and it’s a torn muscle in the shoulder, which requires surgery,” he said on the club’s website. That will happen on September 26th, and we expect him to remain out for at least 12 weeks.

“It’s enormous.”

It’s a setback for us, but it’s much more of a setback for JJ. He’s really settled in, and I can tell you I was looking forward to seeing him develop stronger and fitter.

“Since this has occurred, the fact is that it opens the door for someone else.” As we witnessed, Ryan Edmondson returned to the bench, Luke Plange took the field, scored, and Sean, Terry, and Garns all want it as well. Everyone wants to be out there assisting.”

Posh point makes Orient manager ‘glad’
Leyton Richie Wellens, manager of Orient, was satisfied with his team’s point at ‘yo-yo club’ Peterborough United.

Posh took the lead with a goal midway through the first half.

Orient defender Omar Beckles restored parity 11 minutes before half-time to ensure his side shared the spoils and moved within two points of their mid-table hosts.
“Peterborough are a yo-yo club between League One and the Championship, so you have to be happy to take a point away from them – especially after going 1-0 down to a poor goal,” Orient manager Wellens stated after the game.

“I’d be disappointed to concede that type of goal from a corner against a really big, physical team, but even more so against a good footballing team that isn’t particularly physical.” But it’s the second time in two away games that we’ve rallied from behind to win four points It’s amazing to hear from them.”
