Leyton Orient's January Signings Spark Four-Game Win Streak

0:00On March 23rd, Layton Orient are turning their season around after a tough start in League 1. Manager Richie Wellens credits their January signings for sparking four straight wins, their best run this year. The team has climbed to 16th place, now six points clear of the drop zone, with a game in hand over 21st place to Blackpool. Earlier this month, they were stuck in the bottom four, but the new additions have made a real difference. They brought in five players right before the deadline, including two goalkeepers, a leftback, a midfielder, and a winger on loan from Stoke. Wellens says the fresh faces are coachable and eager to learn, which fits his style perfectly. He notes it, often takes time for winter transfers to click, but these players are delivering quicker than expected after that latest two-nil home win. Over Wyomba, the squad is also benefiting from a recent upgrade to their training pitch at Chigwell. Wellens explains the faster surface lets them train sharply and play the way he envisions. With momentum building, Orient head to Exeter next weekend aiming to keep the streak alive and push even higher up the table.
