Liam Kelly felt Leyton Orient needed to stop their bad run of form as they look to avoid relegation out of the football league.

The O's gained their first point of 2017 and their first under new boss, Danny Webb, at the weekend after Gavin Massey rescued a valuable point against Yeovil.

Webb had lost his first two games in charge against Carlisle United and Morecambe by small margins but their performances have been more positive.

It was a good weekend for the 27-year-old as he also managed 90 minutes under his belt after a torn hamstring left him on the sidelines for four months.

“We have been on a really bad run of form, confidence is low, and we needed to take something for today.

“I think that goes for every single game from now until the end of the season, to make sure we take something because it is the business end of the season now and you can’t let games pass you by.

“We need to take something from every single game and if we do we will be in a good place at the end of the season," said the former Oldham Athletic player.

“It has been a long three, four months being out. It has been hard watching from the sidelines so it is nice to get back playing football again.

“It is never nice being injured. I am grateful. I managed to get through injury free in 90 minutes and we will see how the next few games hold.”

Since the midfielder has been out, Orient sacked manager Alberto Cavasin and Andy Edwards quit for a job at the FA.

Webb is now the man in the dugout until the end of the season and president Francesco Becchetti has put the club up for sale. 

And when asked if he learned a lot from watching from the stands during his time out he said: “You learn a lot from watching games, you really do. When you are watching from the stands you see a lot more than what you would do if you are out there on the pitch.

“Or even on the bench. You see the whole game from up there. I think it is a case of silly errors that have cost us.

“I don’t think any team has cut us open from fantastic play. It has just been them little things where we need to do the basics right.

“And I think some of the goals from this league are scored from people switching off and not doing the basics.

“I think that is like the goal we conceded today. I think we cut that out, just be a little more creative, and have a little bit more about us in the final third, as we have not been creating too many chances in the last few games.

“So if we want to win games we have to score goals.”

The O's face Plymouth at Home Park tomorrow (7.45pm kick-off).
