^He's now going to flood us with all the posts he's bookmarked just for this occasion. He'll be insufferable.

And those who said Charlie Kelman was no good and hoped we wouldn’t sign him on loan, again.

Trust RW as he is a brilliant manager and stop this endless criticism

Football is fickle though, a few months back every signing including Donley was rubbish, the squad was rubbish and we should be looking at a relegation battle

Richie is a good manager when he keeps it simple and doesn't get overly cleverly, also he is at Orient for a reason, same as 90% of the players this is the level they are at right at this moment

In fairness to cch, he has refused to back down on not rating Wellens despite being completely, demonstrably wrong.

It's the only way. Never back down. Never admit you're wrong. Just keep on boardin' through.

I totally agree . I said at the time people calling for him to go were utterly mad . I always knew we would be OK at the very least simply because Richie Wellens was our manager .

The ultimate in “those who live in glass houses” opening posts. I dread to think what predictions Qin / COYOS came up with earlier in the season.

I could wipe down the ol’ Alias Detector, but it’ll only confirm the obvious in this case.

Yes. Now this would be a lot more interesting. I said that Charlie had a swagger about him and it would be good to get him back. There were plenty who thought he was useless though.

I said that Kelman was an underwhelming signing. How wrong I was.

The thing about football is that it’s dynamic. Players can improve, form can pick up. Nothing is static.

His work rate was never in question.

12 goals in 41 games is hardly worth a ‘told ya so’ post

Christ, this is so ridiculous, I'm not him 100%
I possibly share left wing politics, with him, but so do loads, some on here.
It's scary how you can be cancelled with this nonsense.
On a side note, how f*cking sad are you, to count commas that posters use?
You need to get a life pal.

In answer to the thread title, no, i don't in any way feel embarrassed and I also do not 'feel' anything..
I have never called for Mr Wellens' head. But I have, yes, always called into question his very tetchy personality such as his appalling disciplinary record, written off by some, as, 'it's only passion'.
But this has improved of late as has team performances because he's not now on the touch line.
