Following our look at giants Leeds United, we now turn our attentions Geraint Williams' Leyton Orient.

The O's are once again tipped to be in amongst the relegation scrap next season, with only Yeovil and Stockport at shorter odds to drop in to League Two.

Even an impressive end to the last campaign, which saw the club finish 14th place in League One couldn't change the mind of the bookies.

February saw Geraint Williams appointed as Orient boss and he worked nothing short of a minor miracle at the Matchroom Stadium in his 16 games in charge, winning nine of them and therefore guiding the club away from the bottom four. 

The arrival of former Wanderers pair Scott McGleish and Simon Church improved Orient's form in front of goal and McGleish will once again line-up for the O's next season after the 35-year-old signed a one-year-deal following his release from the Blues.

Former Colchester United boss Williams issued a signal of intent at the end of last season when he released eight players, but other than McGleish, no other signings have arrived in East London and new recruits are needed if another mid-table position is to be achieved.
