Reaction to Jamie Hand's 2007/8
By Nathan Jackson

I've been trying to think about something nice to say about Jamie Hand for the last few days and I've failed miserably. If there is ever a "Worst Ever Lincoln City XI" then Jamie Hand would almost certainly be one of the first names to be considered, that's how truly rubbish he is.

The thing with all the reaction articles so far is that even if I've slated them, I've at least tried to say something positive about them but I can't come up with anything for Jamie Hand. He can't pass, he can't shoot and he can't be bothered to put in any effort.
His attitude problems saw his exit from the Imps after he sat in the dug out during half time after being told he wouldn't play. I was absolutely amazed that the Oxford fans were excited to get him back on loan.
I can't even begin to put into words just how frustrating Jamie Hand is. The best thing he did whilst at this club was agreeing to leave....goodbye and good riddens.

Thought he was better than he was and even we all recognised that he was pants.
He was a bit of a typical Schofield signing really. Schofield's signings were either crap, lazy, uninterested, injury prone or all of the above.

Would you include Green, N'Guessan, Stallard and Ben Wright in that list? They were all Schofield signings...as was Forrester although he initially came on loan when KA was manager. I think your interpretation of Schofield's signings is grossly unfair.

That is an inaccurate sweeping generalisation. I respect your opinion Nathan but when it's made as stridently as this and has gaping holes in it, it rather undermines other more interesting points that you make. More often than you back up your arguments with minute details and stats and yet make this kind of bold generalisation. Something doesn't quite add up.
If you retort with the old chestnut that all the good signings were Deehan's then you know full well that this can't be proved or disproved otherwise. And you normally rely very heavily on provable(?) facts.
To substantiate a statement of fact (which is how your post reads) with something that can't be proven either way is not a good approach.

Firstly, Forrester wasn't a Schofield signing. He agreed to join permanently towards the end of the 2005/6 season when Keith was still in charge. Schofield had nothing to do with him coming to the club.
Stallard is certainly injury prone, as well as often being lazy and uninterested last season.
Green was almost certainly a player that Deehan was responsible for signing, as was N'Guessan. Plus, if I remember correctly, it was John Deehan who went down to scout Wright and talk him into signing on the pitch during the Scunthorpe game last summer.
