No I don't think he is and I don't think it's that ambiguous really.
It's a message board contributor - after an all too rare good performance against decent opposition for two comp points - having a pop at some unidentified message board contributors for having a pop at the coach the previous week after the latest fail in a game that actually counted for something immediately tangible - ie missing out on the single biggest payday of the domestic season. Pretty standard Southstander form.
It wasn't against posters having a pop at the coach the previous week, in my opinion both the players and the coach deserved criticism for that performance, just like both players and the coach deserve praise for the performance against Wigan.
It was against the often ridiculous and unnecessary attacks on the coach. The personal attacks are unwarranted and rather pathetic. As I said, we've been told on here that the coach is stubborn and unwilling to take others opinion and only wants yes men as his assistants. We've also been told he's that uninvolved that the players take training not him.
That clearly can't be the case.
Some of the attacks and criticism of McDermott are entirely unwarranted and some are just daft.
I have no problem with criticism of the coach. It's just the ridiculous nature of some it I have a problem with.
As for an all too rare a performance - Leeds are 2nd in the league and have produced plenty of good performances this season.
