He did, he also had a high number of passing the ball straight out of play.

Mads hit 16 long balls 5 with accuracy. 
 

Against Newcastle Iversen hit 34 long balls 9 were accurate.


Given Mads is meant to me better with distribution, you would expect a bit of a gulf in stats as the season progresses?

To be fair, I was not impressed with Hermansen’s long range kicks out to the wings today. I am presuming he will improve as he settles in though. The only thing I think today that he added that Iverson wouldn’t have was the sweeping up which was of course very important so does justify his pick.

Thanks for these numbers 👍. This is what I thought from my observations but then everyone was raving about his kicking and I’m wondering if they were watching a different game!

Mads 5% is better on long balls already after being with the team about two weeks.

 

But it's not really about long distribution, it's about being about to play out of the press and receive the ball under pressure.

Better than Ward.

Agreed

 

Do we think Stolarczyk on bench is indicative that Iversen/Ward are off or purely that Maresca favours him ?

 

Also- it’s good to be back. Whoever just keeps reporting my perfectly reasonable posts to get me banned, please get a life.

Just watched highlights here, he makes 3 very good saves 

 

The one in first half he tips over (didnt realise at the time), the one-on-one, and the one on to bar

 

Cannot ask for more than that imo

Any questions about his shot stopping ability can be put to bed already. Tremendous debut for me. Incredible reading of the game at one stage when they were about to go clean through as well.

 

I found it weird that the punditry team mentioned corners being a weakness. I don't care who's in goal, if someone whips a corner at speed  that goes over your head, there's not much you can do about it at all. The fact Hamer could do it with such consistency was incredible.

I'm sure you are but it's not really relevant.

Lets face it hes 10 times comfortabler with the ball at his feet than ward Iversen and anyone with eyes can see that

When the phrase ‘distribution’ is used, I think it’s referring to having the capability to play out effectively from the back, into the defence or midfield and break the first line of a press.

 

Long balls are obviously an aspect of distribution but I don’t believe that’s the type of play he was brought in to improve.

I watched the game again when i got back. The punditry was crap, and that Keith Andrews guy in the studio with Beckford, clearly has a beef with City somewhere down the line.

I felt he was a bit dismissive of Enzo before the game, and then praised Cov too the hilt,at half time and after the game, and just seemed to pick fault with us.

Always interesting watching the game on tv after being at the game, because its amazing how you sometimes see things differently to when youre caught up in the emotion of being there.

I actually thought we were better after watching again on tv than i did walking away from the game after it finished.

In his defence on the corners, the balls Hamer was putting in were up there with anything I can recall us ever facing. Managed to get so much whip and pace on them I can see why they’d leave any keeper second guessing himself.

Exactly, he caught and punched a couple. The defence should’ve dealt with the goal, but it was a good corner and header, nothing Mads could do about it. The one that went over him also flew over/wide, chances are he gets something on it if it’s on target.

 

The quality of their set pieces was miles better than ours.

Was good. Made a couple of good stops. One incredible save, instinctive. Good with his feet. Calm. Nice throw outs in general. Couldn’t ask for a lot more. He wasn’t a bomb scare, but playing like this there will be mistakes.

****ing love him. He is definitely scoring a last minute volley from a corner this season…. 

From his own half. With his weak foot. To get us promoted. While flirting with a cougar in the family stand.

 

Kids an absolute baller!

Not sure where all these 'mixed bag' comments are coming from?

 

He's young, he's not been here long, never played outside of Denmark, first game against tough opponents and made 2 brilliant, match-changing saves and is as good with his feet as our best ball-playing defenders. Oh and Ndidi and Vestergaard more at fault for the goal, never mind the fact that Hamer's corner deliveries were top-notch

I thought he was one of our best players, and that it was one hell of a debut. The save from Haji Wright won us the game as much as KDH's goals. His distribution was great, and my only criticism was that I think he should have gone shorter a bit more often as some of Coventry's best chances came from goal kicks played long that Coventry won! I think he's player that will really benefit from a season in this league, as the physical nature of it will force him to improve some of his weaknesses.

 

If he cost 6M, he looks like great business at that price. He transforms the way the team plays.

He said something along the lines of the players Enzo has got will be good because they’ve been coached by Brendan 😂
