How many are now on the anti Hammond band wagon ?

[oapdodge]

First home league game for a while. Having watched the Boston game in the north stand I was amazed at the anti Hammond supporters in the South stand. Is he the latest target ? Who is going to be next ? Perhaps Revell because he hasn't scored for how many games ? Or Lynch because we have let a few goals in ?
Henderson already has his mates who applaud a simple catch or cheer sarcastically when he comes off his line. Perhaps we should start having a go at Gary hart for not trying ?

He deserves to be dropped but I don't slag off any player in the stripes.

Dean Hammond's only contribution of any note to the season so far was a well taken penalty. I think many hoped the step down would allow him to regain some form after his nightmare last season, but if anything he appears to have gotten worse.

Hammond has been shit for ages and a mystery how his name is first on the team sheet

 

[Don Tmatter]

How is it getting on a bandwagon? When someone has been coasting through games for about 6 months they deserve some stick,just to gee them up a bit

I have taken a strong disliking to him, but only fairly recently - last season i was on the 'anti-carpenter bandwagon' as you might put it, but Chippy has put in some much better performances this season, while Hammonds have been utter utter toss.

Who do we replace him with ? Do you think he doesn't try ?
Coasting is a strong word for a player that gives his all. If that is not good enough replace him with someone who is better. Now who ?

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that Chippy is at his right level but Hammond at the moment is a liability.

 

[Silent Bob]

Who do we replace him with ?

Stokes, Fraser, Loft, Chamberlain

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

LOFT just HAS to come in for Hammond, unless we miraculously sign someone!

How about giving Alexis Nicholas a try?
Oh, that's right we released him didn't we

Stokes, Fraser, Loft, Chamberlain

Disagree about Loft as I have seen nothing in him that makes me think he will ever be a league player.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Kerry Mayo is my subject for abuse. And McGoo obviously.

 

[Silent Bob]

I'm not convinced but at least when he came on yesterday he wanted the ball and was willing to take it forward.

The point is Hammond does not merit a place in the team.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This thread is a joke, asking for a player that has been playing baly to be droped is suddenly a bandwagon?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

A friend of mine summed Hammond up a season or so ago: a very average player who justifies his place in the team on his goals. This was the tail end of the season before last when he had that knack of scoring goals by coming into the box late. Now that has gone he should also be gone.

Cannot argue with that. As we have an abundance of central defenders when they are all fit how about Hinshlewood as the holding/defensive midfielder thus allowing the other 3 in a 4-2-4 formation to get forward
