So I may be biased and protective of a player who was a real club man and a fighter (in many ways!!). He is getting a load of negative flak at the moment but if there was one person that I would pick to be in the trenches with me it is Dunc. He has been up against it from the off. IMHO scapegoated from the off and now taking hits for the bunch of self motivated morons who are the people responsible for bringing this club to its knees. Duncs main problem is that he has nowhere near the quality of players required to bring any footballing system to fruition. We currently have the worst squad of players that we have ever had - a mottley crew of cheap loanees desperate for playing time to progress their own careers. Unfortunately the ones with potential have picked up the injuries. There has been no consistency and I hazard a guess that most fans would have difficulty in picking a first X1. But what Dunc does bring to the party is pure passion and the Dunkirk spirit. The next two games are must wins and if Dunc can instill the passion and drive we will survive. And I am referring to passion and not from a skill or system perspective. Dunc needs to instill a "dogs of war" mentality and the players have to give the fans a degree of hope. So I am predicting six points in the next two games - however accomplished and escaping in 8th place at the end of the season.

Will be interesting to hear DF,s next pre match press conference. I hope the journalists are brave enough to ask the proper questions. What is his genuine view of the current situation, what has he said to the players, what assurances has he given them as to contract fulfilment etc. I believe players are protected if admin happens. Most importantly……….. will he stay. Then he can talk about how he will set about drawing with Arbroath!!!

Pretty sure he'd say he only knows what we know.  And that he can't give anyone any assurances.

Players may be top of the creditors' list (if they haven't been paid), but I don't think they are "protected".  Indeed, one of the first things that an administrator will look for is star players who can be sold.  Ummmm.....

The players are protected under SFA / SPFL rules and must have their contracts paid / honoured. They do I believe have the option  to leave their contracts if they wish to move elsewhere if the club enters admin. Players can’t be sold if they don’t want to move( i.e those settled here), so in that respect they are protected, unlike the staff employees who are not.
