His move to Sheffield United looked like an excellent….
Although Hamer’s transfer to Sheffield United appeared to benefit the player, he might be slightly regretting the decision at this point.
His final act as a Sky Blue was scoring the equalizer against Luton Town in the play-off final, despite having managed to flourish for Coventry City since his arrival.
He was unfortunate to watch as the Hatters ultimately prevailed on penalties, almost securing his and Viktor Gyokeres’ departure from the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Both ultimately left, although Gyokeres has been more successful than the other, scoring goals for Sporting Lisbon just for pleasure and drawing interest from major Premier League teams.
In contrast, Hamer has contributed a good amount of goals to the Blades’ cause this season.
Regretfully, Chris Wilder’s team hasn’t been able to adjust to the top division and appears to be ready to quietly exit the top division in the later parts of the season.
Furthermore, the midfield player might have to play Championship football the following season because he signed a four-year contract when he first arrived at Bramall Lane.
In the meantime, Coventry might be rising.
It is not surprising that Coventry struggled in the early part of the season due to the departure of important players and the need to give new arrivals time to adjust.
However, they have recently gained some traction and are currently in the running for promotion, with Mark Robins’ team possibly able to guarantee a spot in the top six.
Though it’s not a given, they have a good enough squad to have a good chance of finishing ahead of Hull City and Norwich City and taking sixth place.
They’re not only winning the league, but they’ve also advanced to the FA Cup semifinals, defeating Wolves 3-2 on the road.
Ellis Simms and Haji Wright’s stoppage-time goals set up a match against Manchester United, and Hamer is one man who would have enjoyed that Wembley experience.
Although Hamer will be happy for his former team, he might also wish he was still with them.
While he appears destined to return to the lower leagues, the Sky Blues will fight for a spot in the FA Cup final and stand a good chance of winning against a Manchester United team that makes mistakes from time to time.
The media frequently scrutinizes the Red Devils, and their status as heavy favorites may work against Erik ten Hag’s team.
Winning in the nation’s capital against United would be a fantastic accomplishment.
