As feared by a number of Hibs Sportsbabble posters incl myself, it transpires there is already a problem with Anthony Stokes! He was not ill. He was actually dropped v Dumbarton after a fall out with Stubbs and George Craig because of his unacceptable behaviour. I've also been informed this morning there is a dressing room split and that info explains a lot to me re some of the questionable behavioural issues/poor form that I've previously mentioned. I knew there was something wrong - now it's become more transparent! And guess who is the main instigator? Yep you've got it! I'd bin him now and send him back to his manager, Deila, who rightly has no time for Stokes either! The timing of this ludicrous episode, weeks before a cup final, is hugely disappointing and our strength was a unified dressing room which Stubbs praised in previous interviews! His gamble has failed to redress our  lack of goals and we need strong management to effectivrly deal with this whole issue. As Hibs fans, this is not the first time that this problem has arisen in potentially good Hibs sides and I despair watching this scenario unfold again. I just hope that Hibs management team, incl Leeann Dempster, can swiftly deal with this disruption as there is still a lot to play for until the season ends!
