Dibbles old paperboy Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 1. Have you got any plans to sign anyone who has played regularly in the Scottish premiership? 2. With English non-league clubs now paying more wages than some Scottish premiership clubs can afford, why are we focussing so much of our energy on trying to spot talented English non-league players? 3. Is Adam Eckersley injured? If not, why has he not been included in 3 matchday squads, including the Sunderland game where 10 players were on the bench?

He's already said Eckersley doesn't have a future at the club (rightly or wrongly) so why would he play him in a friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckersley seems to be persona non grata completely, behind dodgy trialists in the pecking order and new signings still acclimaitising to full-time football!

I think he's wrong to want rid of Eckersley and MacKenzie the same as I thought he was wrong for not trying harder to keep Reilly. I'm not surprised though that he's not playing. Once a manager openly says you're not wanted I wouldn't expect to be playing in any pre season games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 1. Will there be an opportunity for the fans to ask you questions ?2. If so , when will that be ? 3. Is there perhaps a thread running elsewhere ? [emoji849] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 1. Why did you talk in interviews about four or five signings, with two that would excite supporters? 2. Are these deals still ongoing, or dead in the water? 3. If the latter, what the actual fcuk are you going to manage to do in the two weeks before the league season starts?

Dibbles old paperboy Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Which then opens up questions about Stubbs' management style. 2 senior-ish players with contracts for the season out the picture and picking up a wage not to play or feature as subs unless the players take the initiative and find a new club to make things easier for a manager who has ruled them out before he has seen them play for him even in a friendly game!

Y and Z aren't in the starting XI because Stubbs has said they are welcome to find new clubs. What happens if Coulson gets injured or suspended or turns out to be poor defensively once the league season starts? Do we try and bring Eckersley in even though he hasn't played a match since April?

He had plenty time before Stubbs came to sign but didn’t. Its called man management. Some players need an arm round the shoulder and made feel wanted. They are kids basically. If he had shown a bit more desire to keep him and a more tactful man management approach we would have a proven goalscorer in the squad rather than the two we are stuck with at the moment.

Sunderland game wis a try oot fur trialists and like a daft 'practice' game. Manager has hud little time to sort things oot. He's only just here fur god's sake. Lucy, you've been here fur yonks and yer still shite! Worse than a trialist. We were gash against Spartans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
