Indeed. Knows that Hemming is letting everyone down and that we need more options. Wears his heart on his sleeve and clearly isn’t impressed with James and our subs. I am dreading Milwall on Tuesday and not just for the journey to and from their Ground.eBergen wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 5:48 pm Strange answer to the Blackpool question.

The part at the end sums up the club regressing back into the "little Leyton Orient" attitude that I can't stand either. I see it in the comments on the socials and the way the club has gone about the summer transfers.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:11 pm I think he comes across as frustrated by little leyton orient, had got the money or squad he wants. Wouldnt blame him if he moved onto bigger things.
Feels to me like the club convinced him to sign a new contract with overpromises. Once they had his signature they quickly started reeling back on what is actually available to him.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:11 pm I think he comes across as frustrated by little leyton orient, hasnt got the mentality, money or squad he wants.

I am absolutely convinced that if you sat Wellens down BEFORE he signed the contract extension and said “ok, what we’ll give you is a load of inexperienced loanees and some lower league journeymen freebies” he absolutely would not have signed it.
Appreciate that we are somewhat restricted in what we can spend in comparison to others in this league but we have not made a single signing of note this summer. The “biggest” one being Kelman…on loan. It’s really poor and I seriously cannot see Wellens staying for much longer if it continues.
Could say same about O'Neil donley, James was OK against charlton.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:28 pm Good interview. He essentially dispelled any rumours to go to Blackpool, called out hemmings and was bold enough to drop James when he ain’t putting enough effort in.
Love him
O’Neil and Donley weren’t particularly effective but their work ethic was top notchCharlieO wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:07 pmCould say same about O'Neil donley, James was OK against charlton.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:28 pm Good interview.

Indeed . Can you imagine Richie managing a club like Birmingham or Huddersfield. They would be flying .Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:11 pm I think he comes across as frustrated by little leyton orient, hasnt got the mentality, money or squad he wants.

To be fair, they are flying already.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:17 pmIndeed . Can you imagine Richie managing a club like Birmingham or Huddersfield.

Don't read the stats after the game. They side with the team that won. In game we were 54% in 1st half & 51% 2nd half until the final whistleessexfootball wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:25 pm Wellens is drunk, Birmingham had 60% possession and led for 70 minutes
We all love Richie . He's one of the best managers this club has ever had but I feel the club is letting him down with inadequate transfer budget . There is only so far you can go on freebies's and young loan players .Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:28 pm Good interview.

Weird considering we literally just gave him a new contract.

Agree but from that interview Richie doesn’t think that he’s taken us as far as he canRedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:26 pmWe all love Richie .

I hope his strategy works then because with Sweeney at LB for the rest of the season we’re in trouble.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:36 pmWeird considering we literally just gave him a new contract.

What makes you think 'we all love him'? And you also say, 'one of the best managers we've ever had'......I think you're getting a bit carried away.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:26 pmWe all love Richie .

We’ll have to agree to differ on that one.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 7:51 pmDisagree. Sweeney deserves a run.
