THE news of Dave Hockday's appointment as Harriers head coach has drew some mixed feelings from supporters.

The arrival of the former Leeds and Forest Green Rovers boss ends a three week process to replace Gary Whild.

Hocakaday is a highly-respected coach with a proven track record at developing younger players but has had mixed results as a manager.

Here's what some Kidderminster supporters have said on social media:

Matthew Hatton - @PeteMc78 best to develop the kids but is he the best man to keep us up? #KHFC

John Wenham - @PeteMc78 hes got experience at this level. Been elsewhere since and hasnt worked out so hoping he can use it as a fresh start #coyr
