'We haven't achieved anything yet' - O's boss

Richie Wellens has been head coach of Leyton Orient since March 2022

Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens says he is not getting too excited despite the League One play-offs in sight.

The O's came from behind to win at Crawley Town on Saturday and climbed to seventh in the table, just three points outside the top six with four matches remaining.

But despite overseeing his side's fourth win from their past six games, Wellens says he is remaining grounded ahead of a potentially season-defining Easter period.

"I don't get too excited," Wellens told BBC Radio London.

"Again, they're asking me to fist pump at the end. No, we haven't achieved anything.

"I've experienced it in this job as a football player and as a manager, as soon as you start getting too excited, things can come back to haunt you."

Orient host mid-table Barnsley on Friday, but Wellens is cautious of the threat the Tykes pose despite them having little left to play for.

"It'll be a tough game, there are no easy games," the 45-year-old added.

"Easter weekend is always a big shift of momentum for teams but we'll just concentrate on our next game."

The O's finish the campaign with trips to Cambridge and Huddersfield, either side of a home game against Wycombe.
