Why is this only the case for Hamer? No one is complaining we haven’t replaced Vik or O’Hare because we have.
Don't ask me? I am not the one moaning about it
Not for the want of trying by the refs! 2minutes in the Stoke game and Binks is booked, 5 minutes in the Brizzle game JDS booked. Don't care what anyone says the referees know how to influence games they are reffing.Rudoni is not a Hamer replacement,unfortunately we have no one that tracks back like Gus.
Anyway we are 2 games in and not even 1 red card.
I would be happy with that if they were consistent. The amount of times Stoke players left their foot in or went through one of our players without punishment was ridiculous. When the ref did book one of their players he pointed to three separate occasions where he had warned himI think its called showing your authority early on
If you're a really good counter attacking team and you lose a player integral to that, you don't go out and replace them with a player not suited to play counter attack and make the other 10 change to suit the new player.But that is why the dynamics of teams are always shifting because you can't get exact replacements and it's hard to even get similar at the right level and within a certain budget.
Also sides can't play the same 11 week in week out, so managers have to be far more open minded than fans.
Yeah but he instigated the move before he went off, thats how good he isHe wasn’t on the pitch when we scored the winner.

You don't get an exact replacement on our budget, you get someone who isn't the finished article with similar attributes and potential who you can coach and improve.
Whatever the player profile was when we were scouting 4 years ago and the scouts identified Hamer from the Dutch league should be the type of player we look for now.
I think you get the best midfielder for your budget. I am not saying overload yourself with attacking midfielders, but you always buy in quality. Coach others maybe, or maybe it means you no longer have to be a counter attacking side. The bottom line is if you set up the same every week and have one way of playing you will be found out and get slaughtered.
That's great if they apply that equally to both teams! Why do our players only pick up early bookings? Is it us, or is it refs only book away players early?I think its called showing your authority early on
The best midfielder on our budget 4 years ago was someone with the attributes and strengths identified in Hamer
The best midfielder on our budget now is still going to be someone with similar attributes and strengths.
The blueprint for what makes a good central midfielder in this league hasn't changed in the last 4 years.
....and finding them is easier said than done. 24 Championship sides are probably looking for that player. The Hamer that left us wasn't the one that joined. But fans want to replace the one that left.
Torp was supposed to be that player but so far hasn’t shown it so people still want a decent forward thinking CM in.
Hamer started off brightly and then drifted backwards to the point that some fans wanted him sold and described him as a liability. He was a walking red card for a period.The Hamer that joined was class from day one. What people want is a player who can start attacks from midfield. This isn’t rocket science. Jack Rudoni isn’t O’Hare but fills the hole he left, ditto Simms and Vik. Torp was supposed to be that player but so far hasn’t shown it so people still want a decent forward thinking CM in.
