OLDHAM boss John Sheridan admitted his side had got out of jail in twice clawing back a deficit late on against the O's on Saturday - but he was full of praise for his side's battling qualities.

He told the Latics official website: "We showed character to get back in the game after being 2-0 down.

"You think you've lost it when it goes to 3-2 at the end, but fair play to the lads - they battled, didn't give in and we've got a point.

"I'm disappointed with the goals we've conceded and one or two players didn't perform today.

"But if Orient continue playing as they have today, then they've got a good chance of staying up.
