Im anticipating a great cup semi, the ingredients are there. full ground, two sides in pretty good nick and i do hope it is dry and warm i think both sides would be better for that. Hopefully it will be a classic and the best team wins on the day.
Not here to gloat, promise, but after the chat on page 7 about resting those players, do people think it was a mistake in hindsight, or do you think it wouldnt have made much difference?

or the failure of the coach to augment a game plan which suits the players. recruitment has been awful, the squad is average.but the coach has consistently failed to solve the right side issue and the lack of structure or game plan is down to him and him alone. he is old school. no assistant skills or defensive coach. it's all him. no issue with that he's in charge. but he is solely to blame when a shambles like yesterday occurs

Or it could be the coach hasn't developed the players sufficiently to cope with these situations?
He certainly doesn't appear to have given them any kind of attacking structure to work with
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

No just think you were the better team on the day and we couldn't match you for any more than the first half hour. Resting players or not had no bearing on that imo.

Resting players was nothing to do with it. If anything, yesterday proved we had players still not fit enough to return, considering how much they were blowing after 30 mins.

How Ferres got picked defies any logic
The only thing I can think is this is a coach trying to prove a point to his boss - i.e. the squad is simply not strong enough

What have you done to Briscoe and Ferres both internationals before you signed them. Now Ferres looks fat and Briscoe is a mile away from the player he was.
Seems rather silly to let Hardaker and that Walker lad go and keep Golding.
Some hard years coming up for Leeds I reckon but you will be miles better for it. Need to sort your pack out though.

I cant think of one game in nearly 2 seasons when iv thought "im glad we had ferres out there" he's been an awful signing but i dont blame the club,i was happy as larry when we got him,thought it was a cracking signing at the time!! Supose when ur guarenteed to get picked regardless of form or conditioning then it can lead to complacency

Hetherington has always had a thing about money and players salary needing to be picked. To be fair to McDermott here, when he wanted Webb out, he was forced to pick because he was a big earner, when he wanted Burrow out he was forced to pick. I am not suggesting he doesn't want to pick Ferres, because I don't think that is true, but Ferres is on big bucks, and history tells me because of that he would get picked.

If he is on big bucks then that is a serious error of judgement on GH's part - he is shadow of the player he once was
