Charlie Lee

[Real Al]

Announced on Twitter that this will be his last game

[gshaw]

Right decision going forward, his tweet sounds like he won't be playing today so I guess McAnuff gets the gig in CM alongside Clay

[EliotNes]

That’ll be a loss.
Craig Clay gets my vote for vice captain as obviously Jobi will stay as captain

[eagwgw]

A good time to announce it.
A lot of people in a charitable mood.

Right decision, had high hopes when he joined and a disappointment overall, not helped by injuries.

Unlike many others on Twitter I'd be lying if I said I was gutted, if we are only gonna make 2 signings they both should be central midfielders.

Interesting to see where he ends up. I certainly believe there is a better player in there than what he showed with us.

[EliotNes]

We’ll miss his long throws.

[Sid Bishop]

Good luck to Charlie, hope he finds another club to play for and hopefully he will get better luck next time round in avoiding anymore nasty injuries.

[Omygawd]

We’ll miss his long throws.

In common with our forwards.....

[Omygawd]

I wish him all the best. Injuries have caught up with him and I will be surprised if he stays in the EFL. Shame we didn't see the best of him.

Josh Coulson I would have thought, but those who are on the training staff will have a good idea as to who is best suited to these leadership jobs.

Good luck in the future Charlie.

We all love Charlie! We all love Charlie! (except your usual miserable old twats). Class act. x

[Bergen]

All the best, Charlie Lee.

[LOFC1948]

Good luck Charlie - for one reason or another we didn’t see enough of you on the pitch.

[RedDwarf 1881]

Thanks Charlie for joining us in our hour of need . You helped us stop the rot then helped us to promotion. You will always be well remembered at Orient .Good luck for the future Charlie .

Can't argue with this.

It’s funny because it’s slang for cocaine!

Agreed with all of that.

Shame that it didn’t work out, hope he gets fixed up sharpish elsewhere. Another promotion on his cv can’t hurt.

Good luck Charlie, All the best in the future.

Good luck to Charlie Lee, his long throws were awesome.

Agreed

[F*ck The Poor & Fat]

Good luck. Not had much with us injury-wise but at least he’s taking a champions medal and cup runners up medal as a reward for his time here. Wish him all the best.

How do you define " didn't work out". He helped us win promotion .

[Thor]

^ this exactly.

He was a large part of why we won the league and I'm not sure why he attracts so much stick from our fan base on this forum.

Charlie helped the club achieve what we as fans wanted and I'll never be a knocker of him and appreciate his efforts. That we have now moved up a level and the manager wants a better player, that's how football works. Players come and players go, but as long as they do their beat whilst here I'll be happy with them. Charlie is certainly not a player who didn't try or put in a shift or didn't dig in when called upon.

[eagwgw]

I don't think it is stick, just more like anything that isn't wholly positive is deemed as such.

I also think Charlie Lee would be the first to admit it hasn't gone as he hoped here, although some of this isn't his fault.

Signed as captain, suffered bad injury costing him a whole season. Lost the captaincy and first-team spot. Recovered well to gain it back. Got injured, came back aided by McAnuff breaking a bone in his foot, then lost his place in the side again and never recovered it.

We could say James Alabi helped us win promotion as he had scored some goals and done some assists but even Ling Snr was on the radio a while back saying it hadn't worked out yet.

I do wish him well, as I do for the other lads that go, but I ain't gonna lie and pretend I am gutted that he is gone. It almost reads as if he came here to play for free and we were not offering League money.

How do you define " didn't work out". He helped us win promotion .

I define 'didn't work out' as in being unable to hold down a spot in the starting 11, our midfield woes finally resolved by a change of formation and playing a near 40 year old winger in Charlies spot.
