That is the change i was thinking would be made at Half time.

I only picked on this comment, there are many I could have used to. Suppose in the game the coach did as you thought and we lost 14 - 10.

Your comment now reads

What is McDermott playing at , moving the best fullback in the league to LC and bringing on BJB to fullback where he hasn't played all year. Should have left Ward where he was and if JJB can't play while injured we should get rid. Playing Burrow at hooker when Aiton could have played while been ill, if Aiton can't play after having a virus all week we should get rid.
Moving Sinfield to Hooker during the game to replace Burrow is madness when he is a loose forward or stand off. If Burrow can't play hooker we should get rid. Why is he playing that youngster Singleton for 60 minute stints when we have the best prop in the league warming the bench in order to save him for September , if he can't play everygame we should get rid.

What on earth is he playing at using all our subs and not saving them for the end of the season when they need to be fresh, McDermott please go , you just did everything during the game I was going to write you should have done but you did it and lost which means it's me who's clueless . If McDermott is going to do everything I thought and leave me having to adjust my hindsight knowledge rant we need to get rid.

I could go on

i like it!

Clarkson came in late to cover Achurch.

So BJB was planned 'tactically' to be on the bench. Mac is his post game chat said they were expecting a very well drilled, confident team and they knew they were in a fight regardless of the injuries. So that concedes the game went how he thought it would so BJB was always going to be subbed not used.

An injury to the outside backs was probably the only way BJB would have got game time from the bench on Friday.

BJB was probably only in because of Aiton's illness though.

I imagine the bench would've been

Aiton/Burrow
Achurch
Kirke
Singleton

Quite possibly.

But our coach could have put more thought in than just plonking him on the bench.

Aiton was a big loss. Seeing Burrow at hooker for extended periods of time isn't pretty.

Burrow is as much of a hooker as Stevie Ward is a centre.

True, I can live with him doing cameo spells there in games but not too long.

having the same issue at huddersfield

fairbank not used v leeds

yesterday when our props were knackered johnson (young prop) not used on the bench

I'm just wondering re: all the BMcD complaints on this issue - are any of you gold season ticket members? When i had a one-off ticket after Broncos, he was physically loitering around and presumably available to be asked this question (whether one-to-one or in 'heckle questions from the crowd as he talks about the game' fashion).

I'm not sure if some heavies (maybe including Hall - in which case, 1 out of 3 times, he'd miss you

) would be involved and escort you out, but it seems that people are physically there after games at least for you to ask the question.

So why not? If i am in the long bar post-match anytime soon, i'd ask why he was dressed like a boxer pre-match, in hat, hood up and gloves all game, like some gangster-wannabe?

Imagine it'd cut through a lot of speculation on here quite quickly, if someone just asked. As pointed out by someone - the media aren't, so why don't 'you'?

I imagine you'd get a pretty non-specific answer of there was not a suitable part of the game for that interchnage based on how the game was going

Last time someone tried heckling him in the Long Bar he finished his little speech without taking his gaze off the heckling in question. After he wrapped up he made a bee-line for across the room, eyeballing him all the way. Feckwit genuinely almost shat himself. But once he got to him McDermott just said, fairly aggressively admittedly, "we alright mate?"

"Oh yeah, yeah". replied.

"Good". And off he walked.

So if you're going to ask a question, make sure it isn't the kind of bollox that loser was spouting.

Sounds like the queries on here re: only using 3 subs are fairly genuine and not 'bollox' queries though.

Unfortunately for BMcD when you are coach and 'top of the tower' you put yourself in the firing line for people to ask questions - can't have it both ways in my view.

Had i have realised his tendency to do this (i've not noticed it until reading all the comments on here) i could've asked him a fortnight ago when he nearly walked into me as he wasn't watching where i was going walking through the car park!
