and live on Freeview channel 276
Wellens was a popular player across two spells at the club but his six-month stint in charge was far less successful and brought to an end in December.
His replacement at Doncaster, Gary McSheffrey, now finds himself under pressure to improve performances and consistency as Rovers seek an immediate return to League One.

Key Events
- Richie Wellens’s Leyton Orient head into the clash top of League Two
- Doncaster are currently ninth but just one point off fourth place
- The O’s have scored in every league game this season
Big chance for the hosts
Best chance yet and perhaps they should score. Close tries a low shot that the keeper fumbles, it falls to Griffiths but he can’t poke the ball home. Kyle Knoyle then has a go but Orient’s defenders get in the way.
Regardless of the performance Donny are still in this. Crowd still behind the team. 64 gone.
Molyneux sums it up
His long throw gets caught in the wind and ends up finding no-one.
‘Super Richie Wellens’ sing the Orient fans while there’s another chant for McSheffrey to go in the Black Bank.
Mitchell tips one over
Good save to deny Orient a second goal as he tips a volley from Moncur over the bar.
A bit more tempo from Doncaster
This is better. Luke Molyneux’s cross evades everyone but has Orient panicking for the first time in this match. Black Bank still making some noise for their team.
First shot on target for Doncaster
After 49 minutes. A tame free-kick from Luke Molyneux, which was never troubling Lawrence Vigouroux.
Three subs!
Kieran Agard off for Reo Griffiths, Max Woltman for James Maxwell and Adam Long for Kyle Hurst
