Seriously?
Always seems to be in the right place to score that vital goal...and long may it last.
Perhaps Hammond really is the successor to Adam Virgo.

I think he's a way to go before being the complete midfielder people seem to think he is.

If he stays the season with us he'll score more than Virgo did last season.

Hammond is the best midfielder we have at the club, and hopefully DK can keep hold of him till we move into Falmer.

Come on lads lets be realistic, Hammond is not the new Virgo. He's the new Bryan Robson!

I'm particularly thinking about his range of passing, and some of his defensive work, eg. the Staunton goal we lost against Coventry.

But he never played for England or never captained England.

I've had a semi on all summer waiting to watch Hammond this season. The last 2/3 months of last season he came on an absolute storm, and it looks like he's picking up where he left off. I can't believe the drastic improvement in him during the course of this calender year...he's got far more of a physical presence on the pitch now and doesn't get knocked off the ball lightly. Boundless energy, a true box-to-box midfielder, good tackler, no nonsense, doesn't try the showboating 70 yard passes, just keeps it nice and simple, and knows where the goal is. Perfick.
I just hope MM gives him his wings and plays him in central midfield sooner rather than later. If Chippy carries on how he is at the moment, it won't be long surely.

Dangerous ground there Chappers.
Hammond has the making of an excellent player. Oatway has been a good servant of the club, but has always been very limited in his abilities. If Hammond keeps on improving at the current rate, he will have lots of opportunities available to move to a much bigger club. I just hope if this hapeens he treats us like Virgo did and not Harding.

Just trying to rein in the absurd hype a bit. We went through this at the beginning of last season with Nicolas. Hammond is doing well, but he needs to keep getting better to attract interest from bigger clubs.

If he ever moves on to fame and superstardom i'm gonna get a copy of his player picture they were selling in the club shop when he was just breaking into the squad a couple of years ago. His face resembled a 12" cheese and tomato pizza with extra red pepper.

I don't recall anyone going overboard on Nicolas. He's a good, solid player with a good attitude who works hard for the team without being particularly eyecatching. Hammond on the other hand is bound to attract more attention because (gulp) he actually scores regularly from midfield.
I'm not saying he's Steven Gerrard quite yet, but IMHO he is the most exciting prospect at the club right now.
