Richie Wellens Interview post Exeter

Post by Bergen »

Clare groin ("old injury"), Beckles hamstring. We might need three or four new players now.

It's disappointing to hear about the striker situation . Hopefully we can still sign a striker before the window closes . Great result tonight but it's come at a cost losing Beckles and Clare to injuries .

I love Richie, but to say we played better in the 0-1 home loss to Exeter, isn't exactly right.

If possible the board have to back Wellens with the cash for the players he needs. It would be a crime to miss out because of injuries

I have to disagree with Richie on 1 point. I don't think we played better in the 1-0 loss earlier in the season.

Jordan Graham said on Orient Live last night that perhaps Azeem can play as a false 9 - I think that could work if we had Ollie back and Dan A gets injured again

As much as I love richie (really do love him for what hes done for us), i feel he exaggerates quite a lot. Guess thats just part of his personality like his brutal honesty

He did that for the last part of the game v Exeter. Yeah, he could play anywhere and do a credible job.
