If I paid to watch leeds play then I would expect to be able to enthuse or moan about performance as I see fit.
Those who say don't moan or be patient obviously like losing or have got way to used to it.
Mcd is right 6-0 is humiliating and embarrasing.
As I said recently, he inherited 3-4 good players, 3-4 acceptable ones and has now bought or loaned about 6-7!
This is now his team and his tactics.
He should now be judged on results and if he is capable of changing them!
I was all for mcd and hope he can turn things around this year or next year. But I think he is demonstrating a worryingly lack of tactical awareness and player selection. As much as I hate to say it. He needs to get better quickly!

There are some worrying signs but I don't think we can really judge him until next season. there are so many of Warnock's has beens out of contract this summer and it won't be until then that he can really reshape the squad properly.

Lets hope brian sorts some kind of spirited performance this coming sat, at least he has admitted that the system isn't working.

People should stop using the Warnock/Bates era as an excuse for a very poor performing team from the last five games, i'm sure if we was in the top 4 would people still be saying this, something will happen soon because season tkt renewal time is nearly upon us.

Personally, I think the request for patience from a lot, including me, is about seeing the bigger picture, rather than just an instant impact, and immediate turnaround.

Don't get me wrong, we all want that miraculous immediate turnaround, but at last, we are once again building an infrastructure which can deliver long term stability.

Remember when bates came in? 60% of the academy set up was axed! All the hard work that sgt wilko set up, delivering our most successful era since the don, undone almost over night. Loads of our shadow and academy youngsters went to man citeh, the dog botherers and others as a result.

All I'm saying is, that as fans, when we're told that there's a medium term plan, I.e 2-3 years, we have to understand, and then maybe the time to ask serious questions is this time next season, when we've cleared the decks and the so called rebuild, new team is in place.

Just my thoughts of course!

I can't stand Colin as much as the next person, but you can't blame this on him really. McDermott had a chance in the summer to have a clear out and sign his own team, yet he opted to sign just four players (one an ex-Reading player) and continued with the Warnock dross we knew wasn't good enough, as well as making one Warnock signing his captain. It's his team.

How on earth could he sign more players, with so much cash tied up in the corrupt wages and add ons of warnocks dross. Purse strings were tightened, and he invested the only way he could!
