Asaint4ever Posted 19 September, 2010 Share Posted 19 September, 2010 Sorry if been posted! But Dean hammond is shocking he can't tackle seems scared to header a ball! Can't pass and most of all gives the ball away far to much. I strongly feel he needs dropping! But who can we replace him with? Not wooton!

I don't have to think too far back to think of far worse players than Hammond. It comes to something when people feel the need to slate players (like Hammond and Lambert) that are actually pretty good! Tells me the team is in good shape. Be nice if they showed it on the pitch a little more mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap at headering yes But can`t tackle, Don`t agree with that. The last 3-4 games he`s not been at his best I agree, but last year he was like a jack Russell on heat.

Matthew Le God Posted 19 September, 2010 Share Posted 19 September, 2010 I strongly feel he needs dropping! But who can we replace him with? Not wooton! Do Prado? But would be a risk, especially in an away game at Sheff Weds. Maybe try it at home to Bournemouth the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSFC Posted 19 September, 2010 Share Posted 19 September, 2010 I can't think of a game where Hammond has run the show. Sure I didn't see them all but neither do I recall Reading that he was awesome, even for one game. This sums him up for me. His "range" of performance is quite narrow and his "best" is good in league 1 but beyond no way. He also fails to produce his best regularly and this wasn't noticed in a winning team. In a losing team it is obvious. I've also said on another thread that I don't think he has known whether to sit or run but that could be partly Pardews instructions. He would be best used from the bench. It's strange that he is captain cod he seems quite quiet on the pitch and never seems to get the game by the scruff of it's neck to coin s phrase and certainly doesn't lead by example.

John Smith Posted 19 September, 2010 Share Posted 19 September, 2010 I can't think of a game where Hammond has run the show. Huddersfield at home when we scored 5! Plus several others that we could mention. Particularly at the beginning of the season. He played far too many games last season and covered Morgans ars* when he was off form. Look, yesterday, Hammond was poor. This season he has been out of sorts but nothing like what people, sorry, 'scum' on here liken him to. And if you think 'scum' is a bit strong, try reading some of the comments made about the 'Captain' of this club. It is a disgrace the 'scum' can moan and whinge and cry about somebody not playing well. If you think he is a cr*p player then you didn't watch saints last season as he was THE most consistent player in our team which is EXACTLY what you want from a centre Mid, especially a captain. I think it should stop here, right now. Let's try SUPPORTING our team and our players through these tough, tough times. In fact, if you ain't got nothing good to say, don;t say anything at all. It's all well and good having a forum where you can say what you like and make your points, but whatever happened to criticism, all we get on here is a sla*ging off, really, really bitter, spiteful fools, mouthing off and thinking it's big and clever to bad mouth OUR captain.

John Smith Posted 19 September, 2010 Share Posted 19 September, 2010 Stop slagging everybody off. Like I said, school playground. Tell you what people, why don;t you all read the Match Report on the Huddersfield game last season, here's the link: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/MatchReport/0,,10280~47939,00.html Then, if you were there, if you go to the games, if you've watched Hammond play, you'll remember what a f*cking good player he is. He, like Lambert and Puncheon (who is playing on the wrong side), are off form, it could be for a myriad of reasons, I believe they had a poor pre-season, I think the training was wrong, I think Pardew hit their confidence, and I think the death of ML (RIP) effected these players more than we will ever know. So, after you've reminded yourselves how Hammond controls games, sets up goals and scores them, remember that you're SUPPORTERS, so stop complaining and do YOUR job better and start SUPPORTING.

Colbury Posted 19 September, 2010 Share Posted 19 September, 2010 Hammond is an average league one player at best.

The bloke has been awful from the start of the season. like I've said he can't even pass a ball at the moment! so let's give some one else a chance to fight for the position. Keep calm. So, all you;re saying is, that because, 'in your opinion', not Pardews, not Wilkins, not Adkins, but 'your' opinion, he 'ain't performing' (like a performing seal I'm guessing, because it ain't all about what you do with the ball), we should slate the guy by saying he ain't good enough. And rather than support the guy, who was brilliant last season, consistent last season, a goal scoring, box to box player last season, we should humiliate him by dropping him. Not work with him in training, not build his confidence, not sing his name from the terraces, but, leave him at home. BRILLIANT. So, thanks for all the hard work and effort you put in last seaon, or in your words, 'he can be a good player', now, because death, sackings, 3 managers and a sh*t pre-season and rubbish training, you're out, not good enough. Well, I'm glad you;re not on my team. Look, this isn;t directed just at you and yes there was another thread on this already and no, it didn;t need another pathetic loser starting another one. But, it is against all the idiots on here who really can;t see the bigger picture and really think buying in someone new or replacing him (or Puncheon or lambert), with someone else we've sl*gged off like Pulis or Wotton, there has been something amiss, it is absolutely clear. And maybe it is just the fact that death messes with your head, or maybe it's something more to do with Pardew, or something else, but, you do not become a bad player over night and seriously, as a professional, being 'dropped' is a massive thing, when maybe all you need is a bit of confidence, you know, the kind of 'support' that 'supporters' give. I am happy to say, I could see that Hammond didn't have a good game yesterday, BUT, I tell you what, he played the pass of the game which put Lambert clean through on goal, but he fluffed his lines. You know the pass, where he burst though from midfield, beating his man and lobbing it over the CB's head, straight to Lambert, who didn;t have the killer touch to take him away from the defence! No, don;t remember that, you know, the important things? Also, whereas everyone has sla**ed hammond off for one particular glaring mistake, where he mistimed getting to the bouncing ball, where he got there first, another player, Butterfield, took their player down, got a yellow card and their free-kick was one of the worst I've ever seen. Where were the Butterfield haters when he deserved praise for bailing out his captain? Thank god it's a team game eh? As for the 'keep calm', get lost. I am sick and tired of you Premiership plaerys coming on here and sla**ing off players such as hammond, Lambert, Jaidi, Harding and Puncheon, when there is absolutely no need for it. We could all see Hammond wasn't at his best yesterday, we don't need you telling us this. How about trying to understand why? Now, that would take some brain power wouldn't it, some intelligence, some thought. So, I'll to you what, I'll chill out if you use your brain, but I won;t hold my breath. What's that?

Having an opinion on a footballer who I pay money to watch is perfectly fair, whatever I think. Having an opinion of the person who had their say rather than purely the words written is truly pathetic.

niceandfriendly Posted 20 September, 2010 Share Posted 20 September, 2010 He's not terrible. He does offer something to the team. He's just not on form, like many of our players at the moment. Fans are so quick to forget; last season he was one of our top performers and we were all praising AP at what a good signing he was. I totally agree that so far this season he's been a shadow of his former self, but we all know what he is capable of. Do we all think Lambert is **** and offers nothing to the team just because he's not at the top of his game right now? Or Fonte? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 20 September, 2010 Share Posted 20 September, 2010 I have been critical of Hammond on here and yes he is far from the only player in the side in stinking form. However, remember that these lads are on, in some cases, many times more a week than their peers at this level and so being consistently outplayed and outfought really is not on. Hammond as the skipper ought to be at least showing some fight and leadership but he's been almost as insipid as Lambert and Puncheon. I agree with those that say putting Guly in at Wednesday is too risky but we need to strengthen with at least one new CM and probably two anyway as we only have Morgan, Hammond and Wotton really, Puncheon struggles in the middle. Put a new CM in there that is more pacey and dynamic along with a new pacy winger to replace Puncheon and a new striker so Lambert can the groin or hernia op he seems to need. Giving the armband to Fonte might help Jose get back to his form of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the armband to Fonte might help Jose get back to his form of last season. I dont understand why people always think it comes down to money and signing new players is the answer. Wayne Rooney earns probably more than 10 times what Dean Hammond does, yet no one can fault his commitment, there was uproar when Roy Keane became the first £50k a week player yet these two are probaly two of the most committed players you'll ever see. There are many more factors than money, confidence, fitness, wanting to play for the club you are at and just generally being the type of the player prepared to put it in where it hurts. Plus other teams will raise their game when they play us, some people decribed Rochdales win here as their best result ever, i think that speaks for itself. Personally i felt some some of the players started the season thinking they'd win this league at a canter and now it is not working out like this their confidence has taken a bashing, coupled with stuff behind the scenes and a general lack of fitness both in terms of injuries and their own personal fitness is the reason why we are where we are now.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 20 September, 2010 Share Posted 20 September, 2010 (edited) I am first and foremost a Saints fan. And if there is someone underperforming in a Saints shirt I defend my right to call them out for it without being denounced as scum. Hammond is not performing or leading as a captain should at the moment imo. He can improve. And needs to. And he can stick his rallying call on the OS up his ass as well.

Goalie66 Posted 20 September, 2010 Share Posted 20 September, 2010 Both Le God Third coming and I watched the game on Saturday and we are both not particularly fond of Hammond. Neither of us doubt his enthusiasm but his reading of the game is poor therefore he cannot readily compensate for his shortcomings. He is one paced therefore he cannot accelerate either into space or past players. He ball watches and gets drawn out of position He is one footed He does not tackle or very rarely, therefore he does not break up attacks that often His finishing is poor and his heading ability is weak He rarely links up with wide men to receive return pass behind a defender but positions himself to receive a square pass instead. In my opinion he is not a leader and should not wear the armband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't do his job properly - a midfield general is meant to control the game, play box to box. He doesn't contribute to passing moves forward, he doesn't sit and cover the defenders, we are poor on set pieces for and against when a 'midfield general' should be helping the centre halves or strikers, he hoofs under pressure, he hoofs when not under pressure, he's got no pace, no technique, he's not an inspriational figure on the pitch, he doesn't lead by example and he doesn't compliment Morgan next to him who is more talented.

If though you want to comment on me personally without knowing or meeting me then you should not be welcome on this forum. Maybe, if you took a leaf out of your own book, I directed a direct answer to your post in the Huddersfield reposte. I notice you didn;t bother to reply, as this was the only thing I was commenting on in your well constructed post, which, I felt fell apart at the first hurdle of you not remembering one game where Hammond played well last season. Again, I respond to you by pointing out the link I posted just afterwards, and if you remember the game, I'm sure you'll apologise. As for the 'scum' part, well if your surname is 'People', I think you'll find that it was a generalisation against the idiots on here that just bad mouth players without any substance or layalty. I hadn't originally included you in that, and for your confusion, I apologise. However, I had made several valid points and 'other' posters on this thread have ignored ALL relevant points, hence the 'scum' labelling. There is little point debating with scum, again, not directed at you, I have a better chance in the playground of thelocal primary school. I mean, with Conolly and probably barnard out, and Lambert 'apparently' sh*te, according to our fans, and with Lallana out and Puncheon apparently sh*te, coupled with both Hammond and Morgan and Pulis and Wotton all sh*te, according to our fans, we have no midfield or forwards. Then theirs the defenders, apparently Jaidi and Harding were sh*te last season and this, Butterfield was only ever cover and is sh*te, then ther's Dickson, who's really a midfielder and sh*te in that position anyway. Plus Davis was sh*te a long time ago and never got better, with Bartoz being sh*te when he should've taken his chance, we only have Fonte, who, according to some on here was sh*te against Rotherham. So, my Saints loving friends, with our entire team being sh*te, according to you lot, why the f*ck to you bother. My opinion, because you're all sh*te!

John Smith Posted 9 October, 2010 Share Posted 9 October, 2010 Hammond controlled the midfield today! Fonte was exceptional, Seabourne strong, Guly awesome, Puncheon worked hard et, etc. Today was a great team performance. It's exactly games like this where a player such as Hammond is so important. Shifts the ball around, dictates the play and is always available. He was not the standout player of todays game, BUT, he was sup[erb in everything he did, gave the ball away once. Hammond is a very good Centre Mid at this level. At the beginning of the season he underperformed, he needed OUR support. Maybe some of you on here should start supporting our team when we are struggling, because we will not win every game between now and the end of the season, and not every player will be MOM in every game.

LostBoys Posted 9 October, 2010 Share Posted 9 October, 2010 His form was patchy early in the season but I thought he was excellent today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 9 October, 2010 Share Posted 9 October, 2010 He did well today, had some good touches, strong when needed but for me didn't get in enough space to recieve the ball. Tranmere were very very poor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 9 October, 2010 Share Posted 9 October, 2010 I'd quite like to see Morgan and Chaplow. Think that would work a treat. Hammond did play well today mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 9 October, 2010 Share Posted 9 October, 2010 Chaplow is only here for a month at the moment I thinkcorrect, but aren't all `emergency loans' a month to start with? I can see him being here till January at least. Regarding Hammond, thought he played well in the holding role today. Solid and efficient. Not much defending needed mind.

Turkish Posted 9 October, 2010 Share Posted 9 October, 2010 Chaplow is only here for a month at the moment I think from his interview in the echo, sounds like he is planning on being here for longer, was talking about how much he loves it here, thinks "we" will get promoted and "we" areplaying in the wrong league, i hope he stays, he is just what we need, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be standard official website fodder whenever we sign someone on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
