Completely agree Sal, well said.

I think GH has given himself some thinking time, and has, very cleverly, put himself in a no lose situation.
I don't think he wants to sack macdermott, nor does he want to be seen to sack such a successful coach.
however if leeds pick up he can say cas was a blip and he was right to stick with macdermott, if leeds keep losing he can say he gave him every chance.

No one dishes out insults more than you - I take it your last sentence was as a result of you looking in the mirror

Guys, do you really need to put all the insults in?

You don't like each other, we get it.

Debate the point and leave the schoolyard BS to the side.

A sense of humour seems to have by passed the mod

My sense of humor as you put it I deleted accidentally while cleaning up your types out diarrhoea quote fests.

I miss it.

Someone posted earlier that they want the team to lose the next 4 games.

Really - I can't say I have noticed a difference since you climbed on the throne?

I love them all (even Sal!) and aside from the odd "silly old sod" comment I do try to avoid personal insults.

That gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

SouthStander.com - Behind the thread drifts.

Carry on!

Yet you thought it was acceptable for Leeds Utd to lose to Sutton Utd in the FA Cup.

Because I want Leeds United to get promoted in the league and we had little chance of winning the FA Cup.

Wanting to lose FOUR league games for Leeds Rhinos is very different.

If you attempt to troll on this subject with that you're only going to make yourself look stupid.

People may not like McDermott or think he can turn it around, but surely you should wish to be proven wrong and they do turn things around and perform well and win. Or is "being right" about McDermott more important than the clubs fortunes for some?

JJB would have organized the defence better. We were too concentrated in the middle and Gale saw it and went wide. McGuire either isn't fully match fit (if he were he will have something to offer on attack) but he looked way off the pace and may now be shot. I hope not.

I have been disappointed in Watkins for some time now and expressed my views last season when he was terrible until the last few weeks. My point is the problems are within him and nothing to do with structure. For several seasons Moon has been the more effective as has Keinhorst when he gets the chance so nothing to do with structures and planning which are just long term excuses.

With regard to Sutcliffe the reason he has been chopped and changed is because he has not commanded one position well enough whereas Williams from the start showed he had the skill as a 6 and there was no need to keep moving him rather like Mags and Burrow who grabbed their chance so well that you couldn't drop them. Sutty is just too laid back and makes wrong decisions which is his own failing and not the coaches. Coaching can improve players but top players possess a natural understanding and awareness to read a game that is nurtured at a young age. Once they get to Sutcliffe's age and they do not posses that nous as an organizer it is unlikely they will improve a lot more. Sutty reminds me of Oldroyd in many ways.

I agree the youngsters have to have a be given time but while not letting themselves down none look ready yet. So we have too many in the squad that are just not good enough players no matter who is coaching them.

Powell at Cas has done a fine job but I would say it is largely due to wise recruitment so he has something to work with. We have just not recruited to the level a club like Leeds deserve and for this I blame GH who we all know keeps this role for himself.
