Never been one

Most managers would not accept that state of affairs. If Sylla is part of the club then I think explaining why he can't play would help both TD and Sylla. Fans understand management decisions, they might disagree with them, but creating a situation where speculation is the basis of the discussion seems poor. Facts, that would help, imo.

I remember sitting next to Sam Fisher?s father in the Main Stand at a home game in the second half of the 2022-23 season after Sam Fisher had been recalled from a successful loan spell at Dunfermline. Sam Fisher was one of the subs and his father told me that Sam would not be coming on a substitute which is what happened. Sam Fisher was sitting on the subs bench to make up the numbers.
Sam Fisher?s father also told me that Sam was not selected to play in his preferred position. From memory I think that Sam Fisher?s preferred position was centre half but he was picked to play at right back which he could also play. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_...sh_footballer)

Not really sure what Sam Fisher has anything to do with our current situation, but he’s been on loan with Stenhousemuir, so hardly setting the heather alight since he left us.

I was trying to show that managers select players as substitutes when they have no intention of using them as a substitute. Instead they are sitting on the subs bench to make up the numbers. I also think that it is crazy having two goalkeepers sitting on the subs bench.
