I thought tonights evening post comment from Brian Mcdermott said a lot, cant remember it exactly but something along the the lines of " not a time for doubters in the squad and we all need to pull together and not question things "
Tells me that this is exactly what has been going on.

How do you know? C'mon seriously, how do you know?

If DHM is right, you either freshen things up by replacing half the side or the coach. Under the cap its difficult to do the former, and GH already signed up a lot of players beyond this season. That leaves one option. BMD was probably the hope to do just that. I can't see any evidence that its working.

Hang on a minute.

You've agreed with the assessment that a large chunk of the senior members of the first team squad have nothing left in the tank and are basically no longer hungry for success, then you go and shift all the blame for that onto the coaching staff?

Players are entirely accountable for their on field performances and their off field attitudes. If they really can't be bothered any more and are going through the motions, then as highly paid professionals whose fault is that?

I'm prepared to cut many of the first team squad a little slack on the basis of past achievements. That only gets you so far though, and it's clear that whoever was in charge of this current Leeds side they wouldn't be in any different a position to where they are now.

The root of the problem lies in a playing squad that is past its sell by date. Sentimentally clinging onto them and absolving them of all responsibility for their performances isn't going to take the club forward.

Doubters are not always a good thing to have in an organisation. But blind, unquestioning faith in the face of overwhelming evidence that the system is failing is a worse thing. I think the players (and everyone else) have some good cause to have doubts and questions.

Agree the playing staff are accountable and do need to take the blame, but so does the shambles of a coaching team as well
