Williams knows his side face plenty of bigger clubs in League One

Leyton Orient manager Geraint Williams has challenged his squad to be the surprise package of League One next season and mount a promotion push.

He told BBC London 94.9: "I want us at the top end of the table. It's up to me and the players to make it possible.

"There are an awful lot of big clubs in our League this year. You look at the attendances and the budgets - it takes an awful lot of money.

"That doesn't guarantee success: it can be wasted as other clubs have proved."

Williams added: "I admire our chairman [Barry Hearn] - he's kept this club in the black for 12 years.

"I know it's not always what supporters want to hear - that the club's well run - they want success. But success can be built."
