GERAINT Williams is reaping the fruits of hard labour at Leyton Orient, but is cautious of how everything could quickly go sour.

The O's have taken 12 points from a possible 18, and a home win against Walsall on Saturday would be the fourth in a row.

"We’re enjoying it with four wins out of six games," said Williams. "If you can’t enjoy football when you’re getting results like we are, then you are in the wrong game. We want it to continue. Where we are, we must pick up results where we can."

The squad gets a full week to prepare for Walsall’s arrival at the Matchroom Stadium, and want to make winning a habit, as the campaign enters its final stage.

Top scorer Adam Boyd is set to miss out as he recovers from an ankle injury, but the club hope to retain the services of Simon Church, on loan from Reading, a while longer. He hit the second-half winner in Saturday's 1-0 triumph over Stockport County.

Meanwhile, the boss is focusing on the task in hand.

"We have to prepare for the Walsall game, because that’s what it’s all about now: getting another result.

"What we’re showing is excellent form, but we’re still at the bottom end of the table and there’s still games to go, and points we need to pick up. Nobody’s getting carried away, it's a good run, but it’ll only continue if we work as hard as we are at the moment.

"What we’ve shown is that in this league any team can beat any other team on their day and, if we’re not right, we’ll get beaten. We need to make sure we’re right and at the top of our game when Walsall come to us."

Orient have been putting points on the board and thousands of miles on the clock since Williams arrived at the club last month.

In that time, they have picked up 10 points from five away games at far-flung locations.

"I asked whether every game was up north, because apparently we hadn’t been north of Watford before I came to the club," joked Williams.

Now there is just three away games ahead, compared to six home matches.

Orient’s fate could hinge on their ability to win at the Matchroom Stadium.

That has been a problem all season, but results have improved under Williams.

"I hope the home games will help u,s because we’ve won two of our last three. It’s important we continue that," he said.

"Last week was superb. You can’t hide from that. We started at home with a crunch home game against Brighton and then we had two tough trips to Carlisle and Stockport.

"You’d like to think that those nine hard-earned points will be crucial come the end of the season. But we have to drive on."

Meanwhile, captain Stephen Purches has praised Williams for lifting the team out of the doldrums.

He said: "There’s been dark days when you scratch your head and think ‘how did that happen’ or ‘how did we not win that'. But at the moment, things are going our way and we’re well pleased for ourselves and the fans. The gaffer is putting his mark on the team."
