I see Hemmings is now odds on for the next reds scapegoat...

    I think he's a good finisher but his all round game is definitely lacking.

    I've seen him have a run of games on the wing & I'm asking myself why wasn't a natural winger, RNL ever given them chances?

    I think that's unfair. I think he's just not come to terms with the step up in standard from the lower Scottish league he played in previously, he maybe never will. However, you can't fault his effort or attitude.

    Didn't watch the same game as me then 'cause the lazy streak o' piss backed out every 50/50 tackle.

    One of the worst strikers I've ever witness play for us.

    Over-weight, unfit. The lad thinks more of his hair-style than his footballing ability

    I have to agree with this. I thought he would be ok alongside Winnal as Sam could run through the walls up front. However we have seen this combination very rarely. We are clearly lacking someone who can hold the ball up and physically outwork defenders. Hemmings hasn't played enough on the shoulder of the centre halts to know if he can do this or not. Right now i back him but jury is still out.

    Not good enough for this level or us. I think we can say that after half a season without it being seen as too quick to judge. He's not quick enough and rarely looks like scoring a goal for us. Not particularly sure what his main attributes are or what he brings to the team.

    You'd have been better going with Charlie Austin as your example. Not sure why you're bringing Proschwitz into this but he has scored more Premier League goals than Vardy and is a far better player than Hemmings will ever be.

    Clearly not.
