This may be true, I don't know, but my biggest concern comes from the occasion when he was guest analyst on Sky Sports and had a running argument with Phil Clarke over his central Kevin Keegan-esque philosophy that defence didn't matter providing you were good enough in attack. I remember him saying repeatedly that this was the Saints model which suggested a naivety and lack of understanding about the game and Saints in particular who have had one of the league's best defences since Daniel Anderson arrived.

All that said, what we need most at the moment is attacking structure so maybe there's something in it.....

Bradford are awful. I said before the season that you have weak backs and halves. There isn't one player in there that strikes fear into the big teams. You have a good pack, but if they don't play well you have absolutely no chance. The Bradford side is topped off with a coach who simply looks out of his depth, like Lowes was at Warrington.

Not according to plenty on here he isn't.

His results suggest otherwise however.

In fairness, after last night the majority of them seemed to have changed their tune.

At last after 8 pages someone has mentioned the most glaringly obvious failing of Macnamara & the team.

As well as his friendliness with his players, PC was also very friendly with those above him at Warrington too. They certainly allowed him, if not encouraged him, to play his Barcelona (we'll score more than you) style game. Perhaps he would have been better off, or in the future would be better off, if those above him encouraged a more balanced (attack/defense) approach. This is only my opinion of course!

About time too TBH.

Tbf, if you take out the "praying for" comment and replace with "expecting" then you would have a more valid point.

Nine pages in and still no-one defending him?????

Nothing's changed since last week. We're rebuilding. That takes time. Years. Not weeks.

They rebuilt Wembley quicker than this

regardless of the score friday nite,i'm proposing we all stay behind after the game in protest to mcnamara been our coach,surely the board will have to listen to us if we all stick together!A nd we all know what excuse is coming after fridays game,well we have alot of injuries at the minute which isn't helping,but theres alot of positives to take from the game!
Come on people lets stick together and force the board into a decision!

I disagree. Last night was a team without heart & direction.

Even better...how about giving them a clear solution to the problem, fully costed and achievable and with the funding in place, so they just need to rubber stamp it?

Of course, if you are just an [iagent provocateur[/i, this is exactly the kind of action you would want the fans to take...

so what do u suggest?they carry on with mcnamara?because if u have the clubs bests interests at heart u should surely realise mcnamara has to go!i honestly dont think peter hood is man enough to sack him unless the fans start calling for his name!
