Stama comes off bench for Sydney FC, hope he can get amongst the goals. 

He missed a couple but played well considering he only trained on Friday for Sydney. The name on his jersey said STAMA.

Maybe his new manager was trying to take the weight off his shoulders!

Anyone heard anything recently about Alan Campbell? It seems that he's yet to make an impact in Paisley. Presumably working hard to get fit.

Over at P&B today someone mentioned he's one of Robinson"s trusted Motherwell players (along with Liam Donnelly) that he looks to help change a game - and has offered absolutely nothing so far.

A few other quotes:

As for Campbell, I can only assume he is either physically broken or just doesn’t want to be here as for all his chat in the papers about being fit and clearly having some talent, he is one of many passengers in this squad.

We need to ask why our recruitment has been so bad with a couple of exceptions. We could have brought in a couple of championship players who would have ran through walls to be in the SPL. We sign crocks and players with no fight. I.e Campbell. 

 

Quote

...all we did was bring in Campbell. Why? as he’s not anywhere near ready

The Jan transfer for Campbell seemed a good shout - free and played a position we desperately needed to fill 

But WTF - 6 weeks later and it's been another complete  cluster f**k   

 

Something has gone badly wrong over the past few seasons.

His fitness and energy were one of his main attributes. I can only think that one of his injuries has left him unable to get back to his previous levels.

Either that, or he is so disillusioned with fitba his head just isnt in it anymore.

Sad.

There's certainly something wrong with him. A real shame though as he alwyas had a great attitude even when he wasn't playing well.

I think the issue for Campbell has been he's barley played for the last 3 years he went from playing every game for us and Luton to sitting on various benches and his development stalled even when he's getting an oppertunity he's clearly not match fit. I reckon he's the sort of guy that will rock up at Thistle should they get promoted and return to form.

Robinson's club interview after the game yesterday was mainly about the lack of effort and/or fitness in relation to the players who are not getting a game, despite St Mirren's form. Same stuff we all know - January signings are only about bringing in bodies with potential, because they can't afford to buy players who have actually been playing somewhere, even if that was English non-league. Campbell desperately needs someone to show some faith, keep him on beyond the summer and put him through a proper pre-season. There's surely still a player in there, but these short term deals, where his contribution is (unsurprisingly) almost zero, are killing his career.

If Campbell is to be believed, he said he he received offers in Scotland, England and Europe, but still trying to make the "right decision".

Whether he was badly advised, or he made the wrong decisions, by not accepting one of those offers during the summer, he's set himself back another season.
