No not at all! Rudoni was tiring early in that second half imo, but still offered a decent amount of quality at times, so can see why he was left on tbh. Him and Wright are the ones who are likely to get the last minute goal or assist.
He hasn’t turned shit. He’s only just got his foot in the door and people get overly emotional and weird when we don’t win. People are losing their minds over centre halves giving away a free kick for crying out loud.
I get that you probably think he didn’t have faith in BTA. However, I don’t think that’s what was going through Rudoni’s head while he was absolutely blowing out of his arse.
There was a moment in the second half where BTA had made a great run and was in decent space onside and was screaming at Rudoni to play the pass and Rudoni went for the easy option instead and BTA did not look happy!
Not far off where I’d be. I’d probably give Rushworth a 4; initial free kick save okay, but wall positioning is somewhat his responsibility.
And I thought BTA was about worthy of a 7.
Do you know what though, fair play to Oxford. Had a disrupted pre-season and came out that second half a different animal.
They knew they couldn’t match us for quality on the ball, so they just came out and fought. Second half they seemed like they won every second ball for about 20 minutes.
He just said after witnessing Torps free kick it felt it was only right to sacrifice him to the Gods of football, and let him die on the pitch alongside his team mate, Matt Grimes.
