or 6th purely on merit!

Indeed.

What happened to your Jimmy Savile apologist thread anyhow?

welcome back william this place hasn't been the same without you

McDermott go!

Boo!!!!!

Should've handed in his resignation after losing to Wakefield according to one "respected" poster

great tactics yesterday and all credit to him.
however any criticism he gets he brings on himself with some odd selections and tactics and use, or non use, of subs

He now has a better trophy haul than both Smith and McClellan

Ah but he knows nowt, is tactically inept, out of his depth, useless at man management, and, erm, other such stuff...

I think some ghosts were laid to rest yesterday other than the obvious one..

We played a Plan B.

We played to a Structure.

The Game Plan devised by McD was perfect and perfectly executed.

Aiton showed is worth.

I think Brian has, again, answered his many 'know-it-all' critics on here.

Brian 1 Brian's critics 0.

in reality its more like 6-0

Sorry I will not change my views on his coaching methods, it is clear that we have a team of very good players, some might say the best in the history of Leeds. A side that under the present coach is can win big games, whether it is down to the coach or maybe the players, I tend to think its the players. But this present team has put out some of the worst performances in the last ten years, Wakefield away, Huddersfield Home, Bradford Home and London away, the sides he put out were clearly not up to the job and there was no plan B.

The Golden generation as the BBC called are coming to the end, I wish they were not and I do not have any faith in Mcdermotts ability to build or develop a new Golden Generation. I do hope I am wrong but I fear not. Remember one swallow does not make a spring.

But well done to the mighty Leeds you made an old man very happy yesterday, 14 years of hurt over

How on earth can you say that, the performances against poor sides were terrible, the only one I did not go to was London, and there was nothing to defend the Leeds sides in these games. Team and planning all wrong.

see you`re much happier here with all the other miserable ungrates.

You think 4 defeats by 6 points or less were the worst performances in 10 years?
Including the game before the cup final, a game where we had 9/10 players injured and a game against another top 6 team the previous seasons league leaders?

I think I'll stick with my original assessment.

Do you just not listen? After every victory in a 'big game' recently, the players have gone to great pains to point out that they carried out McDermott's gameplan, and he deserves so much of the credit. It didn't even need to be said yesterday, it was blatantly obvious to anyone who watched the game, and it worked to perfection. How anyone can still refuse to give him any credit is absolutely beyond me.

TBF some have damned with faint praise.

Why show your hand early. Save your big performances, and your big game plans for games which lead to silverware.

My thoughts exactly....................its such a shame some people (cant bring myself to call them supporters ) are just too dumb to grasp the concept.

Oh I for one grasped the "concept" a long time ago: I have and had predicted from the begining of the season Leeds would win the CC even when putting in some dire performances. Anyone with a [uMODICUM[/u of intelligence [ishould[/i have been able to forsee where the efforts would lie this season. As I have also stated many times it is entirely understandable if not something to be condoned.

Basically what you are saying is to hell with the regular league rounds and what do those matches matter!!! The problem is if TOO many cotton on then the regular league attendances and season tickets will then be reflected in this mantra and philosophy. Not a problem for me as I know better....

You should instead be happy that so many ARE indeed still too dumb to 'grasp the concept'

Could not have put it better my self than the last comments, I am one of the sad people who puts his hard earned cash in the coffers of Leeds to watch them play nearly every game home and away. Its not to much to expect the players give a 100 percent or should I just save it for the big games. But if everybody did that Leeds would be in trouble. If he can draw up a good game plan for the big games why not the other games.

Such arrogance. IMHO you aren't worthy of the name supporters... rather you are just Glory Seekers.

You pay to watch a game.... not to just see one side and even worse demand THEY MUST WIN EVERY GAME.

Who has actually stated they should?
