A Special Mention for Tomer Hemed

Shooting Star said:

After yesterday's game, Tomer Hemed deserves a special mention for geeing up the fans at the beginning of the second half. It was a small gesture, but it helped enormously to pick up the atmosphere and rally the troops, in turn rousing the team. After the week he had with the Israel comments, and having Chuba selected before him (which I can understand from Chris, but still must be hard for Tomer to swallow), he showed once again just how much of a team player he is.

Proud of him to be wearing the stripes.

The absolute professional, the squad harmony CH has put together with Goldson, Uwe, Tomer and others sitting on the bench and showing the passion they do once they start is a massive credit to him and his style of management.

This current squad of players seem to be so pro-active with us fans too. The likes of Beram Kayal and L,iam Rosenior are often to be seen waving their arms, and trying to encourage the crowd, and then there is Knocky who is just, well Knocyt really!, he seems to love everyone, and it is obvious to see that he is just loving his time here.

Indeed - was going to post something similar. I think Mowbray actually highlighted this as a turning point. Hemed is an excellent player - really unlucky not have featured more this season. And his attitude is fantastic.

I agree, but the fact we are 2nd and in reaching distance of 1st and automatic promotion must help, as it justifies Chris's decisions. The club chemistry, atmosphere and 'happiness' must be through the roof at the moment no matter what you are doing at the club.

Agree with all the positive comments about how great a bunch of players we have.

I sometimes wonder how some of them actually feel about possible promotion. There are a few who will certainly stay in the team if we go up, but not that many. It's a weird situation for some of the squad players where success might mean they don't make the squad and may not get a new contract.

It's a strange one, and suggests a couple of things to me: 1. Hughton's management skills are fantastic as others have said; and 2. maybe footballers aren't all selfish money grabbers after all, and do genuinely want the glory of success, even if not in their own long term interests...

I think they go hand in hand, trust in Ch and his beliefs and methods have us 2nd, because we're 2nd the players continue to believe. It's a very nice circle.
