    oh well, it's only the start of the season.. it's a good job these matches don't count towards our end of season points total.

    Maybe we might have to get used to it unless McCall can get them playing to a system they can follow, I say that because I just watch the first half of the Cheltenham/Grimsby game and Grimsby are knocking the ball about for fun men breaking forward when in possession, they got a bit of luck with there second but they are playing some good football to say they were joint bottom before tonight.

    There was a but in that sentence, sounds like you have to me !

    He needs a decent chance starting over a few games, one sniff of a chance in a cameo role in a dire team performance doesn’t mean he ain’t up to it.

    I would start him at the weekend.

    Mcall is a very poor manager - the sooner the Mcall love in dies the better - I agree with @Fordy117@Fordy117 we are so poorly run and backwards thinking it’s incredible. Poor signings and poor management.

    if McCall wants to play a certain system he should sign players for that system - he shouldn't signs players and then ask them to do things that they can't.

    Of course early points count, why would I believe differently, I don't know if you was a Bradford City fan when Jewell was manager and started season the 1998/99 season poorly, Jewell telling the players in the dressing room after the game, thank you've cost me my job, yet we finished up in an auto place behind Sunderland, not suggesting that will be the case this season but as bad as that performance was last night there's still 123 points to play for cheer up.

    Where is this McCall love in? It's not amongst the supporters. Did you mean Julian Rhodes et al?

    I think that was the first time he played that formation this season, Stuart obviously thought they were capable or why would he chose that system to counter Harrogate, he said in his post match interview the performance was no better than a 5 out of 10 performance, I'd go with that the PLAYERS didn't perform on the night and as has been said Weaver obviously did his home work on us and his players delivered, not difficult to understand.

    Mate Loads if People on here we’re W***ing off when he got the job for a third time. it’s like going back to your Ex because you can - She’s an Ex for a reason and an absolute Mug for letting you go back to her because you’ve had a few beers and need some passion - it’s the same with Mcall

    What's the difference between Accrington and Harrogate though, except Harrogate have more money and come from an actual place.

    Accrington were the joke club of British football - literally!

    McCall sets his team up, McCall delivers the instructions on how to play, McCall is responsible for getting the team going before and at half time. if that performance was a one off it could be excused but we've been dire since February. when was the last time we dominated a team like Harrogate did last night? or had 25 shots at goal away from home? stop making excuses for him.

    I don't think there's a single poster on this board who blindly backs Stuart.

    Can we get over this fake bullcrap about him being bullet proof.

    Dont understand what you mean about Harrogate coming from an actual place?. Where do you think Accrington come from?

    What a radical idea. A manager has a preference for say, 4-4-2. Needs a left winger and a central midfielder so goes to the CEO and they relay this information to the scouts to to look out for players available in this position. Instead, last night we had two or three players out of position due to bringing in players with no real plan as to why you've brought them in. This idea that you can sign a player and expect him to be effective in different position within different formations is ludicrous. Look for a system and buy players to fit it.

    This is one of my gripes about McCall.

    You say he picked a formation to counter Harrogate, why?. Why can he not pick a formation to suit us and let the opposition worry about us instead?. It does my head in all this too much respect and fear of other teams. I mean this as no disrespect to Harrogate, but come on, we weren't going to Old Trafford or Anfield and trying to nullify their threat. Dear me.

    Just listened to the after match Radio Leeds interview and I cant recall him saying we set up to counter Harrogate, more he expected the full backs to push on and cause them problems but they didn't. Hung Woods and French out to dry really.
