Despite relatively poor cup runs, going out in the first round of the EFL and FA cup to Forest Green and Crewe respectively and an early exit in the Football League Trophy, Domestically Leyton Orient have performed exceptionally, partly down to the great leadership from Wellens.

Wellens, who is becoming increasing more respected as a manager, earnt the League Two Manager of the Moth Ward back-to-back in August and September and as he gains more experience is likely to push Orient to a well-deserved promotion at the end of the season.
