Re: McDermott to hold meeting with players at TA tomorrow
Well I think it is a fine line between showing you know that the squad needs investment and dropping hints in interviews to put pressure on the board, and as ldsutd says annoying/putting doubt into some of your current squad. It looks as though Bri may have done the latter. If he has I actually think he has the capacity to make amends.Guildford White wrote:

Absolute bollox in fact.
No manager with an IQ over 20 is going to say "in so many words" that his players are crap unless he absolutely wants to lose them. Why would you want or expect him to do that?
That said I think tactics and team formation are as much to blame for the Wednesday result as a potential dressing room loss.

Re: McDermott to hold meeting with players at TA tomorrow
I'm not sure I totally buy the whole "the gaffer keeps saying we need better players, therefore we aren't good enough" argument. Isn't that what football clubs and their managers are always trying to do? To improve the squad? Isn't being a professional sports person all about trying to challenge yourself against better people, to improve yourself and your team?

Re: McDermott to hold meeting with players at TA tomorrow
of course it, and how often do we hear players say that new signings are needed too. I'm also not buying the players aren't good enough.LUFCRACE wrote:I'm not sure I totally buy the whole "the gaffer keeps saying we need better players, therefore we aren't good enough" argument.

Re: McDermott to hold meeting with players at TA tomorrow
Thanks for the welcome. I sing.....At Elland Road, sometimes. It will be interesting to see whether B McD says anything about what happened today. Some of the tweets to David Haigue were to the point so I expect some crisis talks this week. B Mc is quoted as saying there will be no more transfers coming in before Leicester game! We have signed two loan players so far and I'm having some doubts about a transfer kitty being avialable, but I hope I'm totally wrong. MOT
