He was merely pointing out that AS has the ability to play at the highest level if he really applied himself - a point many would agree with.
To turn it into a positive, and it's exactly what AS has now come out and said, goals will silence critics including KT - here's hoping he bangs them in, starting tomorrow

Stokes isn't saying that what KT said was wrong. He'd just rather Kevin hadn't said it.
Presumably the manager thinks that Stokes does enough so here's hoping he proves it by putting St. Johnstone to the sword tomorrow.

I've little problem with what KT said and same with AS's response (although he's gotta stop telling everyone to listen before he opens his gob! ) .
He hardly put him in his place and reading between the lines Stokes has no real desire to be the best in training through the week - he wants to score the goals on the Saturday. It's easy to say that he'd be better at doing this if he put the effort in during training but some players and people are just not built that way and don't want to change. As someone else pointed out - if Stokes had the mentality of a C Ronaldo then he wouldn't be at Hibs and neither would the likes of Latapy, Best or Riordan/GOC 2nd time round.
It'd be dull if everyone played to 100% every week.

At the end of the day, the guy is human. Also achieved more in his career than KT imo.

Hopefully gives AS a subconscious desire to train a bit harder. It's not gonna make him any worse surely!

Sorry KT, but Stokes is a Hibs legend.
You aren't and never have been.
Think you should just leave it there.

Listen...
Ive known so many lads who were the worst trainers in the world but were the first name on the team sheet. I hated training! It bored the ****** life out me! All I wanted to do was play competitive games and score goals. Some guys love training and fair do's. Some hate it but are just as important, if not more, come match day.

KT has pointed out a simple fact. Just imagine how good Stokes good be if he had the right attitude in training. Its the same for many players...fantastic raw talent. But hard work will always beat talent if talent doesnt work hard.

Can you all honestly say you put in 100% effort at work at all times? The whole thing is a pointless non-story.

KT is carving out a new career in youth coaching and combining media with that - have to say, having spoken to him last season his love for Hibs is strong - he is a supporter like the rest of us and he has opinions. Should have heard Eddie Turnbull talk about Deek (sorry SH.........he loved him.......played out of position though ).

As for training, I mean honestly who gives the same in training as they do on matchday? I'm not a John Terry knobhead type so am I likely to go barrelling into challenges with my own team-mates with as much commitment as when it's the opponent? Or run quite as fast, jump quite as high etc?
That's not to say you don't need to put in a decent amount of effort during training and I've no idea what shade of grey on the "bad trainer" spectrum we're talking about with Stokes' here.
Does he sit on the sidelines with a fag and a can or are there just some days when he can't be arsed with fitness drills or whatever.
