Leyton Orient manager Martin Ling was happy to settle for a point after watching his side's lacklustre 1-1 draw at Hartlepool on Saturday.Adam Chambers put the visitors in front in the 33rd minute, but Ian Moore levelled for Hartlepool 10 minutes into the second half in a game lacking any spark.

Ling said: "We would have settled for a draw before the game. We made four changes after losing at Bournemouth on Boxing Day, and the new players all played their part.

"A draw was probably right in the end, but when we were ahead at half-time there was a feeling we might win it. But the referee has apologised for getting a throw-in wrong before their goal, and that's the way things go.

"At least we have come back after a bad result at Bournemouth and we have to take it from here."
