As much as everyone loves Brian McDermott, I don't particularly need to see his midtable non-entities at every given moment.

SKY's coverage > ITV's 'big 5' domin8d live coverage of the 80's and early 90's.....but they do make some very questionable match selections :|

Don Goodman really hates us. Just named the next few home games Leeds have and explained how they are all really winnable for a team like Leeds!

McDermott, Hunt and Kebe

by johnh » 13 Mar 2014 16:49

Leeds fan in peace (I have to be as I live in Berkshire :D )

Would appreciate Reading fans views on the following:

McDermott brought Hunt to Leeds from Reading. He played him every week for about a dozen games when it was obvious that he was c*ap. He finally dropped him and we haven't seen much of him since. He then brought Kebe to Leeds. He has played every game up to the Reading game. He played the full 90 minutes every game and the only time he was subbed was in the 96th minute of a 97 minute game. He is even worse than Hunt. I have never seen him move beyond jogging pace. He never takes the full back on or tries to go down the outside (all full backs are faster). His first touch is a joke (he can trap the ball further than I can kick it) He can't head the ball, can't tackle. He jogs everywhere, if he loses the ball when trying to dribble he just stands and watches the defender run off with the ball. When the opposition have possession he is in acres of space, when Leeds have possession he is always tightly marked. For months, the Leeds fans have been imploring McDermott to drop him but McDermott thinks he is brilliant and is always making excuses for him. Is he brilliant? or is he McDermott's love child?
I would be interested in Reading fans' views on these two players, particularly if they are/were good, why did Reading let them go.

Thanks in advance - much appreciated.

Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Hunt tried hard, worked well alongside other players, but when we started with him and Le Fondre in the Premiership, Frodo and Samwise would have offered more height and presence in attack. Solid Championship striker with the right support.

I still remember his signing being trumpeted with "RFC to sign International Striker"

Kebe?

Oh jimmy. At his best? Unplayable. At his worst? As described.

We only came for the Kebe.

He is brilliant, though frustrating. He needs to feel comfortable and loved to give his best. Can't imagine why he wouldn't be feeling that at Leeds.

Hunt is a grafter who brings out the best in his partner. If he doesn't fit in though he's pretty mediocre. Kebe does what he wants. Or did. Injuries have probably ruined his rubbery chicken legs. He's got pace skill and control by the spade load. He looks like he's never trying but on form he doesn't need to.

basically never bring in an ex-reading player. You aren't big enough now to get the ones too good for us and we only let the rest go when we've milked the quality from them and they're on the downward spiral.

mcdermott is great at what he does but can be a bit limited and I'm not sure he knows how to turn around a team he's lead into trouble.

When McDermott finally subbed him it got the biggest roar of the day from the crowd.

Re: McDermott, Hunt and Kebe

We have slightly biased views on Jimmy. The Kebe of 3/4 years ago was on his day as good as any I've seen at this club, and developed quite a cult following on the back of that form. He was lightening quick, had the ability to beat men with ease, and a deceptively cultured right foot. However even then he was woefully inconsistent, and since then he's had no luck with injuries which has seen him lose several yards of pace as a result, and of course he's not getting any younger. We did amazingly well to get any money for him in the summer tbh, he hasn't shown any real level of form for a good 18 months now, and while some put it down to Jimmy not getting on with Adkins, if Brian can't get him playing then I dare say nobody can. The old Jimmy Kebe is long gone, and it's a shame that we now have to see the pale shadow of his former self getting abused every week by the most unforgiving crowd in the country.

Hunt - Grafter, but average striker and glad he moved on.
Kebe - Great pace, never looked like he had full control of the ball but when he ran with it he was almost impossible to defend against. Final ball iffy. Had one good game every 7-8 games. He missed the Reading game allegedly because he was out on the piss after the Bolton humiliation in a strip club (his wife will be over the moon).

How are you enjoying McDermott's orbit football?

Under Warnock we played 'hoofball'. When McDermott came in he said we were going to start playing football with lots of passing. We played hoofball. Then he brought in two wingers and we still played hoofball. McDermott talks a good game but it never seems to transfer to the pitch.
