Is this the end of the great man

Apart from a weak strike force our midfield also looks short on quality . 38 year old Darren Pratley and Brown who's only a bench warming utility squad player .
Richie isn't the one who needs sacking . The clubs board are the people who should look at themselves in the mirror.Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:05 pm Having extended his contract I doubt we can afford to sack him.
If the players don’t want to perform there’s not much you can do about that.cymruO wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:11 pm May have to change the way he's managing a side that is rock bottom with confidence, not scoring goals, don't look like scoring goals, but very talented and promising players like Galbraith going through the motions. Don't know what's happened to this side but RW's got to unhappen it and start managing and getting the best out of a side that's lower mid table.
And for the youth loanees it makes no difference to them what happens to Orient, they're off at the end of the season regardless
Need to address this one, are the board straight up lying to fans when they say it's a mid-table budget for League 1?Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:14 pm Have to say that our budget is killing us. Wycombe had Bakinson in midfield today he wasn't great but we tried to sign him in the summer and we could not compete with what Wycombe offered him. We desperately need an influx of money before January, send back two maybe three loanees and try and move on a couple of the squad in January and bring in Three or four players who can make a difference.
Shows how crap our scouting is they brought on Kone at half time eight goals this season and signed from the Essex Senior League. he looked way better than anything we have.

If they are telling porkies and running with a bottom 4 budget then relegation will be what they reap.
However if we've got a semi-decent budget we have to look at the recruitment issues that have been there since January and make changes further up as the performance has been really, really poor two windows on the trot.
Wasn't sucked in by Travis,fact is I support club through bad times as well as good,I am not a happy clappy but a realist,I don't expect board to have never ending supply of moneycockhat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:26 pmgshaw wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:19 pmAnd for the youth loanees it makes no difference to them what happens to Orient, they're off at the end of the season regardless

I feel sorry for the season ticket holders, I think they were sucked in by Travis with the ‘you’ll be pleased’ with the signings over the next few weeks. The club made sure of receiving a tranche of money early to be spent where? All they’ve done is improve Hearn’s stadium.
Nothing to disagree with there.VeganO wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 6:51 pm I find myself for the first time wondering about how long Richie should stay.
If its right that he can't motivate the players & if he is unable to mix up tactics & not rely on pointless possession football then someone else has to come in.
As things stand, regardless of Tues, we will be relegated.
This game needs to be a massive wake up call.
Surely you expect honesty from them - or maybe you don’t.Stamford O wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 6:59 pmWasn't sucked in by Travis,fact is I support club through bad times as well as good,I am not a happy clappy but a realist,I don't expect board to have never ending supply of moneycockhat wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:26 pmgshaw wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2024 5:19 pm
