Read our privacy policy Leyton Orient head coach Richie Wellens has apologised for a “stupid comment” about Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou in the wake of his side’s League One defeat to Stockport on Saturday. Wellens said “I’m not Ange Postecoglou, keep using it as an excuse”, when asked whether injuries had contributed to Orient’s 1-0 home loss during his post-match media duties. In a statement issued by Leyton Orient, Wellens said: “After today’s game, I was asked about the injuries within our squad and, without thinking, I made a stupid comment about Tottenham Hotspur. “Their manager, Ange Postecoglou, is a world-class coach and I want to apologise for my comments and wish Spurs all the very best for the second half of the season.” Two Leyton Orient players who started Saturday’s match – goalkeeper Josh Keeley and Jamie Donley – are currently on loan from Tottenham.
