I don't think he should, and i also don't see him doing it anyway. But nevermind walking didn't DH say that top 8 was minimum? Could he be pushed!? And 1 question to Lister etc, who would you like to replace him with if he does walk?

BTW, we will make playoffs IMO so this is irrelevent!

McDermott should walk IMO.

Thoughts?

Needs analysis though doesn't it?

For example, suppose almost the entire first squad are out injured for the rest of the season. McD's fault? Don't think so.

Six clubs won't make the [ridiculously extended] play-off spots, so should all six coaches walk?

Well, I beleieve that positions may become available in Hull and Bradford at the end of the season. Whereas, we only had a stated aim (in reality) of making the end of season jamboree, but those two clubs had much loftier expectations.
Mac has done what he can with the resourses on offer. Wigan was a game we should have won, as was Catalans at home and both losses were down to player error IMO. Had we won those, this thread wouldn't exist except in Listyland maybe and we would be talking about a bolted on Home Playoff game. Simple things like a wayward pass against Wigan can shape an end of season debate it would seem, so let's wait until the end of the season.

Excuses excuses. Familiar story. Were there excuses last year? And the year before that? When will the excuses end?

When does the time come that people accept that McDermott has done all he can with the team, he indeed "doesn't know the answers", and someone new should be drafted in? People have to remember this is his first head coaching job - there is a very good chance someone couod make a better go of it than he is.

I have no idea. Throwing random names about means nothing. Who knows who might be available come the end of the season. I imagine there would be a huge number of applicants to select from however with credentials equal to and beyond McDermotts, from both England and Australia.

People on here remind me of this Soccer AM sketch:
