Not scoring 15-18 goals didn't stop you praising Hammond though.

I know you're an avid student of my posts but as usual you just pick your own little crumbs out and make them into the cake that suits you.

Hammond, in contrast to Fryatt, has never been an out-and-out centre-forward and there was no need to use him as such but even so was on target (on starts for the season) for a return of 12/13 goals which was 20% better than specialist striker Fryatt.

Bloody hell. D'you behave like a f**king old woman on every forum you're on Stevo :dunno::D

I thought I'd venture onto here for a bit and who do I f**king encounter but you.

For the record I think Elvis and Fryatt have both had shit seasons, but I think Elvis is playing at the top of his game whilst Fryatt is well within himself, right where Elvis would like to be.

Splitter :D

Hammonds shit, Fryatts average - at the end of the day we need better than both of them if we wanna get to the Prem, unless Fryatt scores like he did in his first 6 months for the club.

It's a myth that Fryatt did well last season. He started promisingly enough but scored five goals overall in 19 games and only 2 in the last 14 - perhaps because teams had seen him play and decided how to deal with him.

It all means Fryatt, injured or "fit" has scored 6 goals in his last 37 games - which amounts virtually to a full season and is less than half what might be expected of a front line striker or ever a third.

If that's acceptable then your sights are set lower than mine but it equates to Hammond's return in almost exactly half the number of starts.

Their both "bob"... i would be inclinded to give Fryatt a chance by sending him out on loan for the first part of next season, but Hammond just simply is not up to it (!)

I don't rate any of the strikers at the club.

I thought when Rob Kelly took over from Levein that Hume and Fryatt were playing above there normal levels and I doubt we'll see that sort of form as a strike partnership between them again.

Hammond would be better utilised as a winger, unfortuantely when your twenty seven it isn't exactly the prime age to start to convert players. If we want to play Elvis as a forward SOMEONE has to teach the lad to have a little composure!!

Hume is more of a roaming player, he's best suited to playing behind the front two. He's still a mid table Championship forward at best.

Fryatt I can't put my finger on really, he's a bits and pieces player, he can finish given the ball but lacks any sort of movement and awareness to create his own space.

Not that we had the midfield last season to give him the ball if he'd found any :ph34r:

I'd have kept MDV at the club last season, I still believe he was heavily critised due to the long ball sytle of play employed by Craig Levein. If you look at the games against the Premiership teams he did really well, purely for the reason we kept the ball on the floor. His strike rate wasn't thaaaaaaaaaaaat bad either was it? :o

why? its going to prove to thrac that everyone thinks fryatts better so he will have to admit it hopefully

Thracians views are based on last season and anyone who thinks Fryatt was better than Hammond last year is deluded.

Don't get me wrong Hammond was shiote but Fryatt was too.

So what if he was injured he didn't put the effort in to get fit when he wasn't injured he's a lightweight striker and we should get rid him.

..............and Hammond!

This argument is easy to solve;

SELL BOTH

not good enough for our club, get in someone who has pace AND can score goals, not one and the other in two players,

I know it comes as a shock to you all, but out there somewhere, there are football players who are good and hopefully will sign for us !!

I must be the only person who STILL thinks Hammond would be half decent on the wing as he will never score goals BUT might be able to set afew up?? :dunno:

Fryatt is a decent player BUT is he the man to notch up 20 goals a season? :dunno:

I'd go for Filllipo Inzaghi! :banana::whistle:

Elvis is very good at Kerplunk whereas Matty is a Mousetrap genius.

What the team needs is someone that can carry themselves well in PickUpStix while being able to cheat at Cluedo without being spotted.

And that's why letting Frank Rolling walk away from this club was the biggest mistake LCFC has made over the past 25 years.
