What have people been tweeting about Posh losing their grip of the JPT at the first hurdle against Leyton Orient?
Peterborough United 2 v 3 Leyton Orient
Location: London Road
Date: Tuesday, 2nd September, 2014
Attendance: 3,149 (166 O`s fans) 
Another patched up Posh side succumbed to defeat in the first round of the Johnstones Paint Trophy. The only positives to really come out of the match was that no one picked up an injury and the excitement brought by new signing Marcus Maddison who capped off his full debut with a deserved goal.
Fellow debutant Luke James also notched a goal but the win for Leyton Orient was a deserved one.
Very few Posh players took to twitter afterwards:
Regarding the loss, fair to say injuries/suspensions defensively caught up with us against good experienced side tonight.Fair play to Orient

@pufcposhblog hmm not sure. Orient very clincal tonight. Thought Washington & Brisley were poor. New signings look good, Burgess was class

#utp #pufc @MarcusMaddison7 very impressive tonight & @lukejames94 looks like a defenders nightmare, congrats on debut goal !
? Jason Large (@SimplyRoofline) September 2, 2014
Excited to see Maddison on one side and Taylor on the other. Defenders will hate playing against them two. Bookings galore. #pufc

Frustrating night. Defensively not good enough which cost us. Many positives though, mainly Maddison & James. League more important. #pufc
? Josh Crowson (@Josh_PUFC) September 2, 2014
But what about O`s fans who saw their side beat the holders of the trophy?
Can honestly say that the better team won tonight and we made #pufc look pretty average #lofc

Excellent result. Dagnall was immense. Post game analysis on sky was painful #lofc #pufc
? Dave Wootten (@daveywoot) September 2, 2014
Great win last night lets hope we can start turning it on in the league #lofc
? June GRAY (@NannyGray2) September 3, 2014
Pritchard’s goal last night technically speaking was the best one of the night. Just seen the highlights on sky sports news. #LOFC
? Dan Slawinski (@Dan_slaw) September 3, 2014
Pritchard and Dagnall were something else tonight #lofc

Slade seems to be gambling in the cup competitions and doing well, play it safe in the league and draw… #LOFC
? Oliver Buck (@oliverbuck97) September 2, 2014
Posh they may be but the high-class performance came from the O’s! @leytonorientfc #lofc
? Boozehoundski (@boozehoundski) September 2, 2014
Why can’t we play like that at home? #lofc
? charliebelcher (@charliebelcher1) September 2, 2014
Woods has got to be number 1 for me , quality in every aspect of goalkeeping #Commander #LOFC
