Why show your hand early. Save your big performances, and your big game plans for games which lead to silverware.

My thoughts exactly....................its such a shame some people (cant bring myself to call them supporters ) are just too dumb to grasp the concept.

Oh I for one grasped the "concept" a long time ago: I have and had predicted from the begining of the season Leeds would win the CC even when putting in some dire performances. Anyone with a MODICUM of intelligence should have been able to forsee where the efforts would lie this season. As I have also stated many times it is entirely understandable if not something to be condoned.

Basically what you are saying is to hell with the regular league rounds and what do those matches matter!!! The problem is if TOO many cotton on then the regular league attendances and season tickets will then be reflected in this mantra and philosophy. Not a problem for me as I know better....

You should instead be happy that so many ARE indeed still too dumb to 'grasp the concept'

Could not have put it better my self than the last comments, I am one of the sad people who puts his hard earned cash in the coffers of Leeds to watch them play nearly every game home and away. Its not to much to expect the players give a 100 percent or should I just save it for the big games. But if everybody did that Leeds would be in trouble. If he can draw up a good game plan for the big games why not the other games.

Such arrogance. IMHO you aren't worthy of the name supporters... rather you are just Glory Seekers.

You pay to watch a game.... not to just see one side and even worse demand THEY MUST WIN EVERY GAME.

Who has actually stated they should?

I think most Leeds supporters expect that the players give a 100 percent, I have been and watched Leeds play and get thrashed in the past, but I have stood and cheered the players because they have given 100 percent, I would love Leeds to win everything but thats never going to happen, but what I expect is the the side gives the best every game. Is that wrong

You just don't get it do you.

Players are not machines? Tell me honestly do you give 100% ALL THE TIME in everything you do. The honest answer is NO.

Its impossible to do and its what makes truly supporting a team so exciting. McD clearly understands this crucial aspect of sports psychology and adapts his team and game plans accordingly.

You turn up and there is simply no guarantees and sometimes the opposition is just better on the day.

Its the same with people who slag off refs. They are human and therefore will make mistakes.

It all adds to the spectacle of the game. How sterile would it be if no one made any errors and I repeat how arrogant to demand perfection all the time. Its just not real.

I cant believe this argument is going on today. I slagged the team off last week, but im hindsight, who cares? The high of yesterday more than makes up for the low of last Sunday.

Problem some of the 'fans' on here have is that they can't tell the difference between effort and focus when assessing this team. They always shout for it being the former that is the problem when it's the latter which costs us at times.

Should be really interesting to see how we go in 2015 in the regular season without the shadow of the 'Missing Piece' hanging around. Think if this team had won a CC or two previously then we would've been 1st right now with a bit of a gap.

Exactly so why cant some people accept that without the one you will not have the other without all the bitching Whinging & Moaning.
