    Let’s be honest, he should never have been appointed as manager for the third time. I love him as a bloke but he’s genuinely clueless. The team he’s built is awful, no balance, no character no nothing to be quite honest.

    The club is rotten. Rupp needs to sell up, Rhodes needs to be on his way and we need a top down strategy we can get behind. Totally fed up with this now.

    The anger of our fan base is growing. And it's good to see. And to be encouraged.

    Whenever hes been talked about for the job there's lots of people who are always keen to tell us how good he is, how much heart his teams show, how good the football is that he plays.

    Please lets never hear that garbage again and I don't really care that he once finished 6 points ahead of Inverness.

    Here we go... Exactly the same as the last 3 years but change Black to Drury.

    McCall shows far too much respect to the opposition every week. Post match comments from him indicate that he was scared of Harrogate. Embarrassing.

    Teflon on Radio Leeds waffling. Like his supporters he is looking to put the blame somewhere else. He never takes it on the chin and says 'This is on me'.

    Fire him now.

    Yes and I heard the Harrogate manager before the game say he wanted his team to play with no fear. Why can't any of our managers get some bollocks and say something along those lines!?

    I suppose a question you've got to ask is whether Stuart would be a serious candidate for the managers job at any other L2 promotion hopeful.

    The answer is no, which I think says a lot.

    He’s safe as houses because there are no fans in stadium to boo and make the directors aware of anger.

    Probably the lowest point in our history , a home defeat to Harrogate Town in the basement division.

    Don't be silly. Most of our fans have probably still got the "Save our Stuart" banners at the ready.

    SOS! I recall them well and the argument I had outside the MR when I declined to take one.

    He had 2 weeks to prepare for the mighty Harrogate and that was the best he could come up with. Players out of position, no pace, dominated in every department. Stop chopping and changing for crying out loud. Stick to a formation and practice, practice, practice. Stop trying to be clever and let others worry about us.

    It's weird. I thought Stuart did a good job in his 2nd stint and shouldn't have been sacked. But I worry about his fit for the role now.

    I wouldnt sack him yet, but I worry about our performances so far.

    That said, our failures go higher than the manager.

    Either way, I love him as a bloke. Success with Stuart would be sweeter than any other manager. I just dont see it happening

    that's what you get when you don't sign players for specific positions and bring in players who can play a number of positions - they'll only ever give you 5 or 6/10 performances.

    Just listened to his interview, no confidence in him anymore.

    When he's making comments bradford fans will have been a bit disappointed watching that.

    A bit disappointed.....Stuart that was dreadful and embarrassing

    It's not just the loss. That happens, and the reality is that we're down here for very clear reasons. It was the gap between the sides that worries me most. Look at the match stats. They didn't edge this, they outplayed us.
