Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

How is it we field stronger teams every week yet we are getting beat by larger scores every week?

Re: Confused : Sat May 28, 2016 5:51 am  
Are we stronger? That middle belly last night was weaker than the week before. Burrow on his own gives great running and keeps plugging, but the team is much weaker from a defensive point as a result of him been there. McGuire too, I suppose a point of stronger, but his defending is absolutely woeful.

We still have some extremely average blokes in there who are looking good due to how poor the team is playing as a unit. I have no doubt that the focus from the players has improved in the last couple of weeks. It is no longer complacent, and is trying. But without a coach capable of fixing the fundamental issues on the training ground, there is no way of taking that next step. I asked one of the under 19's three weeks ago what exactly McDermott does in training, when they are training with first team. His response was that he says and does nothing, but just watches from the fringes. This would be OK with a coaching set up a lot of posters previously called for, where the coaches were capable.

I didn't realize Cuthbertson was playing last night, maybe it's the lack of beard.

I agree there are a host of average players and senior players who are declining at a very rapid rate. Coaching is an issue because the same mistakes are happening far too regularly. This team needs greater strength in depth and as much as some players have done for this club maybe its time to draw a line under the golden generation and move forward. Leeds are now 5 players short of a full side - two of those are wingers who are not going to sort the middle out.

It doesn't help playing in a losing/poor side but you have question whether the likes of Singleton/Keinhorst/Walters/Sutcliffe/Lilley/Golding are really of the quality required to build a team around? Do Leeds have the youngsters coming to build a team around if not what are the options?

Whilst McDermott rightly takes some blame to have to question Gary in allowing this situation to develop over a number of years.
