Wellens worried over Orient's home struggles

· Yahoo Sports

Leyton Orient boss Richie Wellens admits he is concerned about the club's home form.

Defeat by managerless Wycombe on Saturday extended the O's run without a league win at Brisbane Road to seven matches, stretching back to March.

"It's concerning because how do we change the feel about [the place]?," Wellens said to BBC Radio London.

"You can't just be reactive where you win [and] everybody's happy, you lose [and] everybody wants to rip everything up and start again. You have to go through processes.

"I think we've got the nucleus of a good team [but] people need to learn things, people are playing at this level for the first time."

Wellens said on-loan defender Alfie Gilchrist would return from injury and be given minutes on Tuesday against Arsenal's Under-21s in the EFL Trophy.

He also said goalkeeper Oliver Dovin, a deadline-day loan recruit from Coventry, would likely start against the Gunners' youngsters.

However, a third loanee, Ipswich left-back Somto Boniface, is likely to be missing for another couple of weeks with the knee injury he sustained last month against Sheffield Wednesday.

Fellow defender Joseph Olowu went off against Wycombe with an Achilles problem, while Demetri Mitchell was sent for a scan after also picking up an injury in the same game.
