Swindon 2 Orient 2Npower League One
RESULT: Swindon Town 2 Leyton Orient 2 Town scorers: Austin 62, Rose 84 Orient scorers: Spring 60, Revell 76 This game came alive in the 52nd minute when Alan Sheehan was sent-off for a lunging tackle; frustration, no doubt, borne out of a poor first half played almost entirely in midfield with few chances.
And when Orient went ahead through Mathew Spring just after the hour, the disappointment around the County Ground was palpaple.
With Danny Wilson ranting on the sidelines and Charlie Austin looking tired up front, the signs didn't look good.
But when Swindon's star striker unexpectedly glanced in the equaliser two minutes later and then had another chance just after, the mood changed.
Down to ten men, a reinvigoured Town looked likely winners, pushing Orient back and passing confidently before an old colleague popped up once again.
Alex Revell, the former Town loanee with three Robins' goals his name, struck at the near post to make it 2-1 to the visitors.
A game saved with only six minutes to go when Micheal Rose fired in a free-kick.
"We could have easily lost today but we showed the grit needed in this division to get a point," commented Danny Wilson.
Despite the draw, Town stand four points off the top six.
