    We've just lost to a side two divisions below us, in fact they completely outplayed us, and I'm pretty sure their players are just as 'knackered' as ours, and their squad more threadbare than ours. Their players probably earn 10% of what ours do.
    There's no excuse, and I think we're entitled to moan about that.

    So you reckon the players are knackered? So what is the solution, McD plays basically same players in a nothing match against Rochdale. Doesn't say a lot for his brain power if the players are indeed knackered

    Kindly point out where it is getting better? Tired and running out of ideas?? Get serious, we have been playing bad since December started, 8 games ago, just 15 games into a season, why were Rochdale not tired and out of ideas, one dimensional, we have changed the formation from how we started the season, we have Tonge, Green, Byram, Poleon, Diouf, Warnock half a team sitting on the sidelines for more than 3/4 of the season.

    If we cannot pass the ball around better than a league two team then that says how poor we are, it isn't the defeat that makes me mad, it was how shockingly poor we are and this has been an ongoing trend.

    I don't buy into the idea that earning more money should mean you automatically become capable of handling being more knackered and performing beyond your means.

    That side looked knackered, which is expected of a side that's not had hardly any squad rotation over a busy Christmas period, because the manager lacks faith in the back up.

    Moan all you want, it won't help anything.

    Tonge, not good enough.
    Green, not good enough.
    Poleon, not good enough.
    Diouf has been absent through personal issues. Whether they are warranted or not is irrelevant, the player has been absent on account of the player. Stop asking why a player isn't being played when people keep telling you why he isn't being played. He hasn't been frozen out or dropped or whatever. The stupid **** isn't showing up to training.

    Rochdale haven't had the luxury of squad rotation either, so that's no excuse

    Exactly NOT GOOD ENOUGH and neither is Smith, Austin or Murphy so again PLEASE tell me where it has been fixed?

    We lose Becchio and we get Hunt, Morrison and Smith - what a joke and a waste, the three of them playing at the same time wouldn't amass 19 goals by Christmas

    The only thing that has got better we lost Bates but this lot are full of spin and more spin. We were linked with Ince, Gradel, Wells and Stewart... Hands up who knew which of the three we would get?

    Board: Hmmm he will cost £3M... Hmmm he will want a decent wage and cost £3m..... Mmm his contract is nearly up, we can get him for a bag of crisps and packet of peanuts lets get him

    Strange how we get linked with quality players when ticket prices are out be it full or half season then those quality players never appear. Board took a few lessons from Bates Before he left

    How many goals has Smith scored then? If he's not good enough then surely he'd not have scored many...

    Not double figures and not 19 which is what Becchio scored and are you avoiding pointing out where it is being fixed?

    Just looked it up 7 in 25 appearances

    Leeds United manager Brian McDermott described his side's FA Cup exit to Rochdale on Saturday as his "worst moment in football".

    "This will be a driver for me in the coming weeks. We need to invest in this team, it needs help. We seem to have run out of steam.

    Prior to that he was at mandella so funeral and before that his agent died. What's next? His cat gets run over and will need a further month away. Just hope we're not paying the tosser

    That's a decent return when you consider many of those have been from the bench and he's had **** all service from our journeyman midfield. We already have someone on 18 goals in McCormack. How many of Becchios were from the penalty spot from cynical play under Neil Warnock?

    Point is Smith is doing alright and he's going to get better. You know we have very little elsewhere on the pitch and it's a team sport yet continue to criticise things that don't need to be criticised.

    McDermott has had half a season in a season where we knew things were going to be a bit unstable and yet you're all surprised and annoyed when things are a bit unstable... he's only made 4 signings during a transfer window when all our money was tied up servicing debt and you STILL moan about it.

    Why are you moaning about things when you know why they are happening? Do you take some kind of sick pleasure in moaning about stuff? Some people aren't happy unless they have something to moan about.

    Ill be taking a break from here until results pick up, because the moaning is boring

    Blind optimism can be equally boring

    He is a giant, he has had more service than McCormack and you still haven't pointed out where it is being fixed?

    Of the managers signings

    Hunt - waste
    Smith - waste
    Murphy - waste

    And who have you forgot about out of Wooton, Zaliukas and Gboly Ariyibi - 6 signings over half a team

    So we can't moan when we get played off the park by a side two divisions below us?
    They are knackered you say,FFS supposed to be elite sportsmen.
    Most if not all of us are behind the manager,and the team and we have been for a long time.
    Seems you can only see your own point of view,come back when you accept others.

    I just don't get you. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, but you are sounding a bit like those ****-stirrers from JA606. Like I say, you're entitled to your opinion, but stop telling the life blood of the club(the fans) to stop moaning when they are only giving constructive criticism.
