'The football was unbelievable' - O's boss Wellens
- Published
Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens says his team played "unbelievable" football at times during their 5-0 League One win at Bromley on Tuesday.
The O's were the first team to beat the Ravens at Hayes Lane in a league game since March 2025.
"I thought we could have been three up at half-time," Wellens, whose side led by just a solitary goal at the break, told BBC Radio London.
"[There were] some good finishes [from] talented players, but above all, work rate and a desire to get into our structure defensively.
"We know if you don't get to the ball, and you allow balls into the box, it can be a difficult place to come. Our intensity to get to the ball was superb, and our desire to get on the first contact and landing around the second contact was very good.
"After that, the football was unbelievable at times.
"Football is about passes and runners. They had to swap their wingers over because we kept on getting out down the right-hand side.
"We passed, passed, passed and all of a sudden they started jumping – now, just get balls down the sides and get in races.
"We didn't just get obsessed with passing the ball. If people step on to you then you need to get in races down the sides as well. I thought we mixed it up really well."
