Please gus drop Hammond!!!!

[Seagulls1984]

I know he puts a shift in but that's not enough, I'm begging you gus to start jfc on Sunday he has more chance of getting a goal. Grow some balls gus and take a risk!!!

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Hammond....no, I really can't be arsed.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

I'd drop Bridcutt. At the moment, stop him and you stop us.

Our results weren't exactly bad in the games he missed were they?

 

[Seagulls1984]

The amount of chances Hammond has missed is shocking.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Hammond is not the Championship quality midfielder Poyet keeps saying he is. Decidedly average.

 

[APACHE]

Seagulls1984 I've been saying this all season, the problem has and is that Poyet puts control of the ball before all else and so packs the m/f with defensive players.In the squad there are only 2 players who can play central m/f and get forward and look to score, 1 is mostly not fit, Vicente, the other is young and was sent out on loan for half the season when he should have been on the bench and given the chance to come on late in games, JFC. We now have a situation late in the season of a lack of goals and a m/f that nobody can see where a goal will come from with the line up that Poyet puts out in the m/f, it's been there all season and although a new forward has arrived who looks like he'll get the goals if the service is there, it's the m/f that's the real problem.

Completely agree need Crofts back in the team. More threatening and can also pass the ball forwards which Hammond seems unable to do most of the time.

I just think its crying out for jfc to get a chance, anyone who knows football can see he is a class act on the ball and gets in the box late. He could be are lampard .

Agreed Hammond was anonymous against Bolton. Oh hang on wasn't that because Gus dropped him ?

I can't believe you were there last night if you think Crofts an improvement on anything.

He's not that much better but definitely a better option than Hammond imo.

 

[Springal]

I must admit, I did think Hammond was going to get sent off last night, he lunged in a few too many times for me.

 

[Bold Seagull]

He's played well this season for me. Solid presence in the heart of the team. I like him. Solid Championship performer. Hope he's here next season.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Wanted JFC for a couple of years. Granted that might have been slightly too early but surely now is the time! If you're good enough you're old enough!!!

Don't want to spoil things but JFC would not be strong enough to have much impact if he regularly started in the championship.

Totally agree. The championship is a very physical division. Hammond has some faults but he provides presence in midfield - just as Paul Rogers used to. We're not Barcelona and when we go too lightweight you end up with thrashings like last season's 0-6 against the Irons.

 

[BensGrandad]

Hammond has been one of the most consistent players this season and should be one of the first on the team sheet. People thinking otherwise obviously do not watch the game and what he does both on and off of the ball. He has been far far better than Crofts who seems to b living on past glory.

This. He'd be an ever present in one of my teams. He does a solid job that needs doing.

I actual agree with you for once

 

[supaseagull]

If anyone on here is saying that Crofts is a better player than Hammond, then they really need their head seeing to.

Crofts has been nothing short of extremely disappointing and looks unfit and disinterested. Hammond, will give 150% in a BHA shirt. In fact, Hammond was so outstanding in Bridcutt's absence I do wonder whether Poyet has made a mistake bringing the latter back into a winning team?
