Can't blame McDermott for everything,but he runs the team his way,got to question the transfer policy of Leeds,should have replaced outgoing legends with players of equal ability,not too worried about 1-5 as I think they'll be ok,but Galloway looks out of his depth and his fitness levels are shocking,can't last more than 10 mins,too much expected of sutcliffe don't think he's got the mental strength to deal with that position,Delaney always gives 100% but is becoming a injury liability,desperately need leadership not just in middle of park,but throughout the team leading by example willing to go that extra mile.some of that leadership has to come from McDermott,can't expect 15-18000 loyal fans week In Week out to put up with these performances.everyone knew it would be a tough transition but the recent performances suggest maybe the problem is more deep routed.

I think this is the major problem. Some players are making noises about how they're ripping into training. However, firstly it doesn't look like on game day. Secondly, just ripping into training is a bit of a simplistic approach to getting out of a slump, you need to be a bit smarter and honest with yourself than that. Thirdly I doubt they actually are ripping in in training when so many players are actually missing training during the week and they're struggling for bodies on the training pitch.

We saw against NQC when their was something to play for the effort was there. Yes it got out of hand in the 2nd half with the score line but you can't fault the effort for the first 40 and if they produced an effort like that most weeks we'd have won a lot more games this year.

I know the feeling of plenty of fans was that they weren't bothered if we didn't do anything this season because last season was so good (which is perfectly understandable).....however it seems like the players have taken the same mindset "oh we did so well last year we'll take it easy this year". They simply don't look like they're determined or desperate to retain their trophies. It will be very interesting to see how we perform in the cup when it comes around and how/if it compares to the league showings.

There's a difference isn't there between having a slightly down year, which for us means not winning anything, while we bed in new players and theoretically get better as the season goes on, and what we are seeing now. If anything we seem to be going backwards game by game and the transition might actually occur at best next season.

As a fan I was hopeful of the former situation, never did I expect the latter, not to this extent.

Is it time for the glove to return?

Don't like to tell you you're wrong but you're wrong. The player who said it has been a first team regular during our successful period

Who?
