| 1. Author: Foresters Par Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 17:26 First time posting here. I really felt on Saturday that the team were transformed by the introduction of Hammy. I get he was riled up by not getting on promptly but his passion was key to us getting back in to the game. Unsung hero. Reply |
| 2. Author: Dandy Warhol Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 18:33 I thought it was a mistake leaving him out, his dig was needed against a tough Saints midfield. I don`t wanna go down like disco. Reply |
| 3. Author: Bertie Paton Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 19:20 Got to agree. I think he has been quite a bit better than Amade recently. Reply |
| 4. Author: NMCmassive Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 20:45 I see a big difference in the “local lads” under NL. I think Hammy and co thought they were safe but NL has them realising they need to perform. Matty Todd seems to be stepping up. Hammy has definitely improved - I always thought Hammy had it in him though. He was central to Arbroath’s near promotion and at least in the first season back up (the injury season) he was always dependable. Player of the season, that season. COYP Reply |

| 6. Author: neils Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 21:39 He might have some limitations, but he`s certainly dug us out of a hole plenty times, certainly the last 2 seasons when everyone was injured, he`s covered all over the place. There`s clearly still a big part for him to play, I wouldn`t think he will play all the time, but he can certainly give us the option when we need some dig. It`s the same for Amade, he`s a different player, but he will also be crucial in plenty games. I was glad Hammy was signed again, and I`m glad Matty Todd has stepped up, this is a big year for him.

| 7. Author: sonofpetrie Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 21:43 Hamilton is a prime example of NL`s man management style working perfectly. When he was out of the team he was like a bear with a sore head (according to close sources 😏) So when he was given his chance again he was utterly raring to go. It`s like having a new player again. Matty is another example. No-one is immune in this squad and for that reason I am loving the passion that has been reignited. "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary" Reply |
| 8. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 22:10 Hammy always worth a start due to his dig but also a yellow card victim! Reply |
| 9. Author: twin par Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 22:25 Love hammy,but needs to calm doon sometimes! Ranting at the ref,will only get him suspended. Reply |
| 10. Author: Jeffery Date: Thu 13th Nov 2025. 22:56 I think playing more of guys like Todd and Hamilton has helped our form. Age wise neither are `old pros` but their experience of Scottish football and game/ref management has really helped during games. Reply |
| 11. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Fri 14th Nov 2025. 09:03 Hammy has been doing the dirty work in midfield very effectively since he came back in the team and I don’t think it’s a coincidence our form has improved since he has come back in. Both him and Todd deserve their place right now. Successful teams always need to have balance and I think Hammy is giving us that with a bit of bite in the middle. Reply |
| 12. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Fri 14th Nov 2025. 09:47 I seem to recall a number of posters who were not too happy that we’d given him another year? A good team has good balance - a mixture of players with different skills and strengths.  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
