Diack & Stanway ( No laughing at the back)

[Bobbyhouston]

How an earth are both playing championship football with us ?

If anyone really cares about our club progressing then don’t lie they DO NOT add anything to our squad 

let’s cut this snobbery shit among our supporters both these boys are NOT at the level required at all 

Back in the day both would struggle to get a ball boy gig FFS

While both were awful on Saturday Diak with everything and Stanway with something which really annoys me the way he constantly gets brushed off the ball or outmuscled they are only 19 and have shown some glimpses of what they are capable of in previous games.

They do both have a lot to work on and can be overrated at times but probably too soon to write them off. There is potential there though they do need to show more of it

I remember my Spanish colleague, who is a Barca supporter, telling me that their kid Messi had talent, but too small and light weight to ever make it

Re Stanway, a lot of our best performances last season were when Stanway was in the team breaking up play , this season has been stop/ start , don’t think the sending off at Falkirk helped .

Diack is raw but got potential and will get better , probably could have done with a loan move to be playing every week but our recruitment in the summer never provided enough cover up front .

I don’t doubt that and unlike the original poster I see potential in them both.

However it’s an infuriating weakness that Stanway is brushed off the ball far to easily.  It’s been a regular feature any time he has played in a game this season and opposition players take advantage of it with ease.

To my mind Diack had huge potential but he's not progressed and probably won't unless he goes out on loan to a club that will start him most weeks as their striker.

Stanway has already had a loan at a lower level and never really made the most of it. I thought he was fortunate that our early season finances last season meant we kept players like him who were ok as cover for this level. I'm not too sure I see much potential to be better than what he currently is.

At 19 and 20 both need to realise they are no longer youngsters that should be happy with some minutes. They need to push one and hold down a place. I doubt Stanway can do that and I think Diack will struggle to dislodge Graham as will any other striker.
