Probably not a great idea to make a loan player captain. If he was ours then no doubt at all he should be captain.
Ipswich must have an unbelievable midfield if he doesn't get in it.

Captains in football are pretty irrelevant... he leads by example and is very vocal with it... great, and long may it continue.
I agree Chabbers... I would love it if we signed him, but wouldn't be surprised to see him snapped up, a la Sidwell, by an ambitious Championship outfit in the winter window.

Yes, but like we discussed earlier, things have changed since Sidwell was here.
We are getting a new Stadium and there is a strong possibility of investment.
I believe that we are a club with a great amount of potential, which is a very attractive aspect to any player.
Either that, or I'm just delusional.

what was the reason we signed him on-loan as opposed to permanently? wages?

I spoke with him after the match. He was very pissed off about the performance and the result. The guy has passion.

A thoroughly decent chap all round. He spoke with passion and intelligence yesterday and would make an excellent captain I'd have thought. But it's difficult to see how this would be possible unless he signs permanently.

All very well, but it isn't good for a player of his obvious calibre to have games like that, too many times. Being only a loanee, he'll be off to join a team with better prospects (or get recalled by Ipswich) and there'll be nothing in it for BHA except to point out that he once played for us.
There are higher stakes on these matches than simply the disappointment of a crap result, and it makes the sorry state of affairs yesterday, and these away capitulations harder to swallow.

Capitulate means to give in. I don't really think that is the right word.

Did he give any indication of signing permanantly.

If we sign him then yes, give him the armband, but while hes only a loan player, its a bit disrespectful to Deano

That is easily solved drop Hammond who is playing shit at the moment anyway. Apart from taking the toss and the penalty he did nothing and doesnt most weeks.

SERIOUSLY!
Repeated on another thread but still valid!

How soon is now?
I thought hammond was poor at the end of last season due to his hernia, but i'm beginning to think he's just not good enough - has the passion, but he's slow and his positional play yesterday was laughable. Any news on a return for Paul Reid?

Up the Albion!
I concur......as long as we sign him permanently first.

dont think it makes to much difference who the captain is
dodge never seemed the most vocal yet he was the captain in a team that contained the likes of danny and charlie
paul reid is an ok player but is he really as good as some on here make him out to be?

What?
Is it just me then that thinks that he spends too much time fannying about on the ball? He's far too casual. He was overly casual at Gillingham and we lost, same on Saturday. Against Millwall he was doing the simple things brilliantly, and the more difficult things well. It's as if he's got too big for his boots already. He's very talented, no doubt about that, but it's also as if the whole team are in awe of him and look to give him the ball all the time, so much so that they have forgotten how to play themselves. Consequently, he's picking the ball up off the defence and then can't do anything with it so often that he either loses it or just has to go backwards, sometimes playing the defence into trouble. He doesn't need to be back on the dge of our box picking the ball up. It doesn't help that Hammond has no idea where to be when O'C has the ball.
He may be vocal, and he may be passionate, but he's no captain for me.
