Watts was again a vital member of the Leyton Orient forward line in 2000-01, scoring a total of 11 valuable goals including one in the Worthington Cup tie against Newcastle United and the first goal in the Play-Off semi-final against Hull City. However he was later sent off in the latter game and missed the final through suspension.
