Dave Victor interview with RW post game. At least he agrees that Wycombe were better than us in every facet of the game.

Why (on earth) does he say (twice) that the squad isn't good enough? Does that motivate the team?
Trying to get his excuses in.

Today wasn’t about money, experience or quality. It as about desire and passion. We see it time and again, smaller teams raising their game and competing against the odds. Busting a gut, fighting for every ball. We may have been the underdogs but we are a professional league 1 team like our opponents. And we had plenty of experience out there
Losing 3-0 hurt but a defeat was expected. But the effort, belief. Fight. Just not there. The issue is not the quality but the motivation and that has been lacking for some time. The issues are behind the scenes.

I feel sorry for Ritchie. I agree with you. Ling and the board have proper tucked him up. Perkins not good enough DJ overweight and unfit and not good enough Hemmings poor and not good enough Kelman not good enough Warrington needs to get fit before judgement Care decent signing from what i've seen Donley the jury is out at present Keeley needs more games before judgement Currie decent signing from what ive seen Simpson decent signing from what ive seen Care, Simpson and Currie are plus points. Warrington needs to get fit, Donley has quality but is a bit lightweight I'd give him more time. Keeley I like, but needs game time. The rest can go do one. That's how Richie has been let down by poor recruitment once more. January will be a disaster as Ling always delivers a disaster every January. Ling has questions that need answering, has he reached his ceiling? Is this too much for him? Do we need to upgrade that role? |

From the tone of the interview I would have said it appeared RW feels Wycombe are substantially better resourced and financed than us. |

I think they are. Couhig sold them to a Georgian/Khazak billionaire at the end of last season. He owns 90%, fans hold the other 10%.

We win one week "the players are excellent". We lose the next week and no praise.
I assume this is going to be the pattern of post-match remarks for this season assuming the results ocellate as is.
OK - RW is League 2 champion twice within a couple of seasons with two different clubs so he must know what he is doing.
However - We had Piggott and Moncur both experienced players of this league and above and LOFC transfer them (loan them out playing a portion of their wages (allegedly).)
One question - If you join a club as a manager why you do not plan the tactics and requested work rate based on the experience and skill which they had, but the lack of physical mobility is then used to move them on.
I observed their man of the match is a 20-year-old player on loan from Ipswich- he is not experienced by number of league games.
If league games are so important on a players cv playing for Orient in league 1 best totally change the current transfer policy and go back to league experienced players of any mobility and ability - but just change the tactics to suit - if our budget cannot permit that, then the Directors have the wrong mission statement or template for their strategy.

Ling has questions that need answering, has he reached his ceiling? Is this too much for him? Do we need to upgrade that role? what you say we have said before. Add Ball who I think could be good, not as a FB. incoming overall not good enough or maybe not yet ready. Players reach a ceiling, people in many walks of life do. Ling has been Ok lower down but league 1 is a step too far, baled out by RW after the Jacket fiasco. RW has been let down and a history of January disasters don’t inspire. I feel for Richie. Tough right now. Our core squad is good enough for us to climb out of this mess. But not much on the bench. A decent cup result will help, defeat a disaster. |

Smaller teams an example of attitude, rather than us being a smaller team. We were underdogs but definitely good enough to get a draw if we pulled together. The performance was poor, one of too many. Similar to Shrewsbury and they definitely don’t have a big budget and the second half against Northampton. I see an attitude issue, a depth issue and not quality issue of the core players. |

Transfer business was diabolical. I’ve yet to see any of our keepers make a save worthy of the name. Only Clare and curry are remotely decent. No real pace in the side and not one real out and out striker. As said , letting piggott and moncour leave and still paying half their wages is laughable. Both kellman and ogyei need a big front man to play off. On what I’ve seen I would try Simpson in front of the back 4. I just don’t see what ball adds to the team , at his best he retains possession and passes to the nearest player, no pace, no energy and playing him in preference to Sweeney was a big mistake.

Currie is slow and an on-loan left back. Telling that he is looking like one of the better players.
