    He seems to have twice as many tricks up his sleeve this time round....he was virtually unplayable today.

    It was great to watch. .. needs to mix it up a bit more ... simple things work better but on this form you can't really complain

    Didn't think he was great today, got better as the game went on but jesus christ, can take players on with so much ease, modern wingers now seem to just have pace and run past an opponent but Hamill has to embarrass them. Joy to watch when he's fully on his game

    modern day full backs generally aren't proper defenders. always said it. any winger who just runs at the full back, will have em in bother.

    He needs to more bear in mind an end product.

    Whilst I do agree he should sometimes do the more simple stuff, like just laying it off, or crossing it in, it was clear that their defenders simply couldn't cope. He ran them ragged, the right back in particular looked like he'd given up the ghost.

    We're a team not a circus.

    Pulled out some very impressive tricks. One in particular I had no idea what he did but seemed to flick it behind one leg towards the byline before standing a cross up. There was also a classic shift wide with the outside of the foot and dink back through the legs of the defender with the inside of the foot. Very entertaining but not always the most effective means of beating a man.

    White also pulled out a few tricks too, I remember a couple in the first half.

    Flip side is (with regards to his trickery - end product etc) is that for nearly the entirety of the second half he had 2 men constantly on his flank which then created the extra space in the middle and on the other flank which we capitalised on.

    I'd pay the entrance fee alone to have watched Hammill today (especially 2nd half), we've enough 'work horses' with limited or average ability to try and do the other bits. Just let Adam do his thang! Was beautiful to watch today. More entertainment than our last 6 home matches combined from the whole team! Enjoy it while it lasts.
