C J Hamilton

[yorkshire stag]

the kid is sadly lacking confidence, really poor game sat, such a frustrating talent is CJ, sadly at the moment couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo

[Spiritater]

watching him try to control that perfectly weighted pass from Dan was like watching a dog trying to catch a beachball on Skeggy beach

[yorkshire stag]

CJ Hamilton is one of our main attacking threats and we need to get him back to his best.

Rich posted some good stats on another thread. He said CJ "is having a very poor season this year, but 13 goals in 48 games last year was a very good total for a player who played in so many positions (he was our second top scorer with the 3rd scoring 4 times!). He also contributed 8 assists so was directly involved in 21 of the 70 goals we scored so about 30%. Not exactly a failure last season and doesn't back up your lack of end product stat. I've gathered the stats from various sites so if they're wrong so bit it, but I don't think they will be very far out."

I checked Rich's stats and they are even better for CJ. He scored 14 goals last season (11 league goals).

The four most important players last season for assists and being involved in the build up for goals were Tyler Walker, Jacob Mellis, CJ Hamilton and Mal Benning. From my records CJ had 8 assists and was involved in the build up for another 11 goals which means he was involved in 33 goals in total for league and cups.

League Games:
11 goals
6 assists
10 times involved in build up for goal
Total: 27 out of 69 goals (39.13%)

You do not give up on an attacking weapon like that.

Hamilton and Mellis linked up very well. I remember quite a few great through balls from Mellis to set Hamilton away.

[Spiritater]

the lad should be benched.

...for him to fluff

Think he’s played in his natural position once all season. Wasted talent with us. Similar to Clucas, all the ability, but what good when we are showcasing his negatives and hiding his positives and not vice versa.

Valid point

He wasn't wasted last season, he was one of our best players.

14 GOALS!!

You are a hard crowd to please

The lad seems to have lost total confidence in himself, his ability to control a football seems to have left him and many of the other players too.

I ask myself why?

I think the Dempster/Glover combo sucks the life out of any passion to play .

The two points I noticed on Saturday with CJ were
1) he didn’t seem to wearing the right footwear for the conditions.
2) during the first half he had to come to the bench and have some dressing on his hand/fingers.

I am not saying these are excuses for his performance but as Murray used to say, lots of little things add up.

[tillydog123]

He needs to find the form soon in our current state if he is to be in the team each week.
Not sure what the answer is for him if honest.
Probably past his best period at the moment and not sure if he will get back to that esp under JD laid back approach.

What was he wearing, Birkenstocks?

Hes at his best out wide, running at players, with his pace.... Shame we don't play with wingers. You need to build a side around your best players.

One thing that's evident, if a player loses form and confidence, the one call will quickly forgot how good you can be and will stop supporting the player immediately. Quite pathetic really... see above "so overrated." Yeah right, 14 goals from the lad and a place in the team of the year.

He needs a goal, a player like Mellis and walker to link up with.... banging It long to rose doesn't suit CJ. The whole system is wrong at present.

There was a lot of times at the beginning of the season when he was stuck at RWB where he was clearly being under-utilised.
It wasn’t until he got put up front or just behind Tyler when he started getting some momentum.

[Spiritater]

The lad has no stomach for a fight when things go wrong. he's no grit at all

If that’s your criteria tater you’ll struggle to name a 5 a side line up Saturday.

As i've said, they're nowt but spunkless bottlers

Unfortunately we have a manager that doesn't want to play football that will get the best out of these two.

[Tippy Tappy Football]

I'm repeating myself here but so are the CJ Hamilton critics on other threads. We need to keep faith with CJ especially as Danny Rose could be out for 4-6 weeks and Andy Cook may struggle to last 90 minutes. We will need him this season if we are hoping to make the play offs. He is one of our main attacking threats and we need to get him back to his best. A good manager would find the system and position that suits him best or build up his confidence. He scored 14 goals last season (11 league goals).

League Games:
11 goals
6 assists
10 times involved in build up for goal
Total: 27 out of 69 goals (39.13%)

JD, Lee Glover and Mind Man Drewe need to get him going. CJ back to his best will win games for us.
