Pleased for him as he gave his all for us despite having one hand tied behind his back and comes across as a genuine, knowledgeable individual....hope it works out for him this time

This should suit him better than the impossible job he had last year. Will allow himself to learn the role without the spot light of SL and rebuild reputation as a decent young coach.

Good luck to him.

York could suit him really well.
Although they havent had the best start to their season, there is huge potential at York and if he get's it right, it could be a great move.
It's impossible to judge too much form last season, he was dealt a very poor hand from the off.
Good luck to him.

Pleased for him.
I think he'll do really well there.
Bags of potential in the club, and in Applegarth too.

Not sure why people are saying it’s hard to judge him in last year when we got nilled 5 times in a row and it took 17 games to win a game but good luck to him all the same.

And he was landed with Lineham and Proctor, plus Atoni hadn't found his feet, key players had left, there were long term injuries to others...I'd say it wasn't hard to judge him, but reasonable observers would at the very least reserve judgement.

Well do you think he might have done better with the team Powell has?
I do.
That's why it's hard to judge.

The role came too soon for him, he was ill equipped to deal with the poor hand he'd been given and wad the cheap option. Having said that, in terms of squad ability, even now we struggle to create at a lower level and have relied upon brute strength to get us over the line so with largely the same pivots it's no surprise we were toothless at SL level.

Funny how nobody is calling him Applesauce anymore.

Top bloke Mash took it all on the chin last year. Good luck with York in the future

I very much doubt any coach could have done much better with last years playing personnel .
In many ways MA was thrown under a bus.
Good luck to the bloke.

Mash is the summariser for our Wembley game, on Radio Leeds.

I think he was out his depth with us last season but was dealt a poor hand in terms of the squad he had. I do think York is a good opportunity for him where he stands more of a chance.
