Wellens relishing play-offs after relegation fears
Briefly

Leyton Orient's season was marked by fluctuating expectations, with an initial focus on avoiding relegation that transformed into hopes for promotion after key victories. Manager Richie Wellens reflected on the team's journey, particularly highlighting their late-season resurgence that culminated in a playoff spot.
