Gustavo Hamer

Not needed? What's our win ratio without him starting.

 

[ancientblade]

were either saving him for leicester or were making sure he doesnt get injured

Match on Thursday and Sunday....

i think hes off

 

[nopigfansintown]

Unless he's off he's pretty much guaranteed a shirt as we have nobody that isn't dead on their feet.

Doesn't get on our best side for me

Isn't a wide player.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Any stat people have stats on games won without Gus? It's a terrible thought as I love him but maybe he's a luxury player we don't "need" to be effective after all?

 

[HeySethUTB]

Loads seem to think he’s off during this window, not sure what performances this season that opinion comes from. He’s been surpassed by a few players, despite him being capable of the outrageous.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Think of it this way:

Q:Would every other team in the league want him?
A:Yes

If we can, keep him. It's not rocket science.

Isn't a wide player.

He's our most gifted player but at the moment he doesn't fit in. Who do you leave out for him and what is his best position.
He came on last night and looked lost wide left. He did a couple of cameo runs, cutting inside and getting a shot off but overall was ineffective.
To be honest i'm flummoxed as to where he plays.

 

[Blademan89]

He'll be starting Sunday without doubt.

The match was over by the time he came on so it's bit unfair to say he was ineffective when the intensity had substantially dropped.

Id love to see him given a go in the Duffy role. It's something we've not had since Duffy fell out with wilder. It's maybe worth experimenting in the Mansfield game?

Davies
Bindon McGuiness Zatterstrom
Seriki Soumare Arblaster Burrows
Hamer
Campbell Cannon

Anyway, we'd be crazy to let him go in the window unless he genuinely wants to leave and we receive a crazy offer. He's our most talented player by a mile and is (usually) so good to watch.

Last season we were a poor team with no system that needed moments of magic which Hamer could provide.

This season we’re a much better all round team and aren’t as reliant on individual brilliance.

He absolutely stunk the place out yesterday. Go watch the third goal and see him, Burrows and Campbell fuck about with before it comes across to Arblaster, Chong & Seriki who just go direct and score.

 

[Gavlar]

It's an interesting one. If he doesn't play from the start I suspect he will leave. He is still a great player, but we seem a better all round team with him on the bench strangely.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

For me, Hamer doesn’t currently fit perfectly in our plan A. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be looking to get him in the side as much as possible though.

Some on here (myself included) have moaned about a lack of plan B when things aren’t going well. That particular blueprint should revolve around Gus IMO. He is without doubt the most talented player we have and we should be looking at ways to get the most out of him when he’s available and on the pitch. For me, that should be in the number 10 role.

I was hoping someone would do this analysis. Thanks!

Bit harsh on him there. It was Hamer that started the switch back across to the right. I've timestamped the moment below.
