Listen the kid has some talent but I think we need to temper some expectations here... Firstly, it's a Twitter Rumour of us being one of a few clubs who might be interested. IF we sign him though... He's a winger, we don't play with wingers so he would need to get used to an entirely new...

Don't think signing retired players really fits the recruitment model.

Can't see him being a backup Right Back, he's looked really uncomfortable on that side for us.

Not sure if misinformed or situation has changed but Norwich were previously quoted as not looking to recall any of their loanees - they were eyeing a new signing for LB.

He's there in case Wilson gets injured or suspended

Apologies, what did you mean by "pass forward to defenders" then? But that's Hamer's role, Sheaf's is completely different & he's very good at it. That's the point I'm making but some people don't understand his role at all. Yes, he's making too many mistakes but as others have pointed out so...

Passes Completed in Opps Half: Hamer 330 Sheaf 323 Kelly 122 You think he sits deeper than the CBs?? Mental.

Spot on. Again.

Think that's fair although he's 'only' 6'1 whereas Kelly is 6'2. Think Sheaf looks taller than he is because of his lean body. I think there's quite a bit he can improve on physically as well as cutting out the mistakes. As you rightly say though he's 22 years old, playing in a new team in a...

Sheaf on the left, Kelly on the right Comparison is more difficult as they've played a big difference in minutes whereas with Sheaf/Hamer they're almost identical. Kelly passes forward approx. 3 times more per match.

🤦🏼‍♂️ Perhaps read the other posts.

You said he "looks to" pass to the CBs as in that's his aim. It's simply not true. He passes backwards 18% of the time & forward 30% of the time. Hamer passes backwards only very marginally less.

Another myth. Total Passes: Sheaf 834 Hamer 819 Backwards Passes: Sheaf 152 (18% of total passes) Hamer 126 (15% of total passes) Passing Accuracy opp. Half: Sheaf 79% Hamer 63%

Intangibles like that can't be tracked by stats as you well know. Same as there isn't one that can track what effect needlessly getting banned for 4 games has on a team. In terms of direct causation of goals conceded Sheaf has tonight & if you're really harsh the Wycombe penalty? Hamer has at...

Correct. According to some the guy on the left isn't good enough to play for us whilst the one on the right is a £15m Premier League player.

Anyone want to guess the 2 players from their season stats?

Gave the ball away 17 times tonight.

No but that's how we play him. What other role could he play?
