Smith was nursing a few knocks, thats why he didn't play les goose

Just posted something similar in the Steve Southern thread.

Lol.....ok who are the 21 who thinks Agar is doing a good job




This only confirms that certain fans are totally happy with less than mediocrity

Two posts, both with idiotic smiley faces laughing at your own jokes, neither of which were remotely funny to begin with.

Sod off Roy - you're worse than the other Leeds troll who pops in every now and again.

No, it only confirms that you have no idea of how to interpret the results of meaningless straw polls. Based on your last contribution to this board, that doesn't surprise me.

Oops.

Shall we run the poll again? Compare and contrast results?

I can feel another "humble pie" race coming on

I said give him until end of season and then judge him. He's over acheived already in my books and should be carry on as normal. His mid season signings have proven very shrewd and put us in a fantastic position.

I was very anti Agar but now I would take him home and let him sleep with my sister. I bet he is feeling very smug if he ever looks at the comments on this forum.

I said support him. There were only a few lone voices at the time saying this, partly because the anti Agar voices were so loud and aggresive about it in my opinion.
I'm disappointed so many followed what the Hull fans said rather than supporting the club decision for at least a season.

And what's worse, if he loses a few games at the beginning if next season I can see this poll being brought out again.

I'd never want to do his job.

And I have a lot of respect for the ones who are coming back on here saying they were wrong.......but there is a lot that are staying quiet and ironically they were the loudest.
Man up guys! Admit you got it wrong.

Actually reading through the posts on here, there were a lot of sensible comments rather than than just the Agar out briggade.

Saying that there are a few stand outs:

Not a bad comment but how profetic was this comment by The Boyem:


And how wrong was this (no offense meant for picking you out Tricky):



But this


and this



are classics!

In all seriousness I chose option two. At the time of the poll our performances were getting worse and it was difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But Agar also deserved to be given the chance and the time to sort it out and thankfully he did. Lets hope he carries on in the same vein as the latter half of the season for the whole year next time out!

I voted two. How right was I

In all seriousness, all new teams need time to gel and we have proven that given time we are a competitive side. Only London away and Wigan at home have been real beatings as far as I can remember!

Always a keen member of the team needs time to gel and even when others ran out of patience I still thought there was time and signs that we could play some good RL.

He didn't do a great job at Hull, but we don't know what constraints he was under from the board. Since joining you I think he's done a great job and my fingers are crossed that you can do the business at Leeds.

He deserves a lot of credit for what he's achieved with you.

From what i have read in the past from Loyal agar fans that are B/W fans and also heard on Humberside radio he wasn't allowed to do his job properly. Hull got rid of 3 staff last season and believe Agar was not the correct choice the other two were and if Agar was given another year FC would have been in same situation now or even better. Gentle has nowhere near the same constraints as what Agar had to put up with.

I have always said Agar would do a good job, never doubted it.

I chose 1. It was obviously going to take time to get things together, but in this days and age everyone wants instant results, quicker this, faster that. Build properly on good foundations and you'll be around a long time, build on sand and you end up like crusaders.

I seem to remember there were also some players who were singled out for abuse, early candidates for scapegoat-of-the-year. How did they shape up in the end, I wonder?

Indeed, some didnt want the Huddersfield trio as they added nothing to the team...

I'll hold my hands up and questioned giving Ali a 2 year deal, but he has proved his fitness and shown how good he is, I dont think i appreciated how good he was at Leeds.

Classy as usual

he wouldn't of been my choice at the time but I aint going to shout for his head half through his first season after what we was left with by the administrators,
I still think at the time that a 3 year contract was a year longer than expected but then who would we have got on a two year.

anything less than the play offs next season and it will all kick off again



who'd want to be a super league coach

Just reading back on my post and am more than happy to be proved totally wrong on all counts . Although if everyone was honest I doubt anyone at the time would have foreseen us finishing in the top 8 and winning some of the games we have. That said, I have to acknowledge that there was a large number of people clearly more sensible than me in not condemning Mr Agar early doors!

Kept telling people to back him and give him time. Not many listened. Admittedly we've done better than I expected (always said 10th would be a realistic target). With a couple of quality additions next year will be all about consolidating a top 8 spot and maybe looking to move up the table a place or two. What we need to remember is that this is only the beginning of a ten year plan. We're ahead of the game at the moment but there might be the odd slip up it two along the way. Let's get to heading key en masse and cheer the lads on to extending their season by at least another week.
