Well there has been a new addition to our fitness and conditioning staff, Mr Ian Kirke.

What next - Our new motivational and conditional speaking assistant have been announced as Garry Schofield !

as soon as the sack the board chants start up, Mcdermott will be gone. Theyre both equally culpable for this shambolic season. Hetherington made no succession plans aside form 'the kids will come through' when it was obvious we needed at least one top quality organising half back and in reality two (McGuires injuries shouldnt have come as a surprise given his age) and he should have fought tooth and nail to hang on to Aiton but was too cheap. The pack is far too lightweight and we can't build a platform. These problems have been exacerbated by McDermotts childish and petty grudges. I know for a fact he dropped Sinfield last year as a punishment for leaving for RU as he had a previous assurance that hed play on til end of 2016. He also fell out with McGuire last year. Those divisions have opened up and hes lost the dressing room. A new coach would lift morale just by not being Brian McDermott. If we leave the status quo theres a very real possibility we will go down. This is the worst leeds side in living memory

Never really thought about it, but you have a point there.

Half-d, no heart, no passion... all adds up now.

The injuries have played a larger part than the coachs choices, or lack thereof. However with BmD you never know what he will do next.
Normally leaves a man to warm the bench for 75-80mins but last time put a sub on with 30 seconds of the half left, Seems to have a selection of players that get dropped for no reason yet have knackered players play full games.

We have also been unlucky that the injuries have been long ones and over lapping, especially with players that can often make a difference to the team.
If we aren't trying to sign Clarke from the Wolves and looking at releasing Achurch and Delaney and finding a set place in the 17 for Sutty/Lilley that's another issue to look into as well.

Seen a few people complain about Hallas being subbed on with only a minute of the half left but it was because he came on for the injured Mullally.

yep, Ian 'the Tin Man' Kirke has a lot to answer for

Didn't have an issue with Hallas coming on for the final minute just feared at the time he wouldn't then start the 2nd half. He did though so no problem at all there, looked like Rob Burrow on Popeye's diet.

I would suggest that without the knowledge you admit you do not have it is just negative speculation to suggest blame.

Perfect example of the foolishness of jumping in with critical comment without being in possession of the facts.

Well you know on here that facts and common sense can't be allowed to get in the way of a good old moan, rumour and criticism.

Come on now enoughs enough,mplease mr H pull the trigger, getting worse not better and same old excuses

Leeds are showing no improvement in defence, their biggest problem this season.

McDermott has to take responsibility.

If leeds lose next week then Mcdermott should be sacked.

What is the extra significance of next week? THREE worst ever thrashings after GH's appeal. If that is not a middle finger to the guy what is?

Enough now fed up of hearing he's earned the right to be given more time he needs to be gone. Not just the coach though think the whole set up could do with being looked at we look completely unfit. And no idea at all

Coaches don't get fired until the fans start calling for the heads of the board not the coach.

The extra significance is that it's next week. We are fast running our of games.

If we go into the middle 8's in our current state we'll end up in the million pound game, and anything can happen in that.

I just wish he would stick his hands up and walk away.i don't really want to see him sacked but this cannot go on

You would hope he would do this now....a honourable resignation would do him much more good than this

Same , different week.

No obvious signs of improvement, even when players do come back. Look woefully unfit. Some players clearly not bothered (yes Kallum, I'm looking at you). Others taking the easy option to avoid having to make a tackle (Galloway and JJB in particular flying out of the line to tackle no-one).

How much longer are fans expected to tolerate it and listen to the same old platitudes?

Time for a new voice and fresh ideas. Someone needs to come in and instil some structure into this team. But unfortunately our long term problems run much deeper than simply the head coach. Our recruitment needs to improve dramatically for next season, and our academy production line seems to be coming to a grinding halt. Tough decisions need to be made regarding some of the current squad as well.

That's enough now.

Even if it means sacrificing the most successful Leeds coach ever, something needs doing.


I said it a couple of weeks ago - we couldn't get any worse with a new coach.

McD has just tendered his resignation on sky.













If only Carlsberg did post match interviews

Early in the season we were losing close games, we are not even competing in more than half a game
