Saying a player isn't playing well enough to be in the team and making him a scapegoat are 2 very different things.

At first until one leads to another............Henderson for example

Exactly right.

Unfortunately, when it's a key midfielder not playing well-it's noticeable

Hendo I agree with 50%. He made enough f*** ups to be blamed for certain things but it didn't help that the pro Kuipers lot were getting on his back.

 

[Nemesis]

But you aren't which answers the question, bar one dreadful miss yesterday he had a good game IMHO

A good game? Are you sure? I must have been at the wrong game...

Hammond is the club captain. Although young, he has played a number of games now and has been captain for a year.

No player can play well every game. I rate brian Horton as our best ever captain. There were games where his touch was off but he was always 'the captain' and drove others on.

Hammond must stop disapearing in games. he must lead. If he wants to make it big in the game then he has to show he's big enough to make (& take) it.

I agree with that, he was our best penalty taker too.

I have a feeling he might be carrying an injury. I think dean Hammond has done enough at this club to earn himself some time, the top scoring, player of the season captain that he is.

I love the way that some people call for his head and fail to come up with an alternative. Some of you jokers are priceless. Get a grip people.

Aide claimed he was worth £3m two weeks ago!

 

[Skaville]

That's the problem, isn't it? He was fantastic last season, and no sane person is going to be calling for us to get rid of him, but at the moment he is off the boil. The problem is that there is NOONE to come in and take his place for a few games until he rediscovers some form, so he's left in the team to struggle.

Or, looking at it was slightly rosier tinted speatacles, recover his form.

Dean Hammond is the kind of player you can form a team around

But what does Claridge know about football eh ?

Good article DKM.

If he's valueing Hammond at 750k I'd say he was a bit out of touch

That sounds about right to me.

Do you think it should be higher or lower, IG?

Quite a bit lower personally, is it me that's out of touch then? I'd be very disappointed with Hammond if we'd spent 750k on him.

I think we'd struggle to get 750k for Lynch who is a much better prospect imo.
Maybe worth a poll re Hammond I think

One of the things I found most interesting thing about that article is that it's based on the Yeovil game, the same game that spurned this thread. I like Dean Hammond a lot, but £750k is too high a valuation.
