Some of those are really surprising. In hindsight we over-rated him here but for him not to have many progressive carries sounds like a different player.

Does he not fit into the way they play or something?

I'm also surprised Rudi's pass completion is so low, is this bought down by being a set piece taker?
i remember reading some stuff from Huddersfield saying "thanks for paying over the odd for an average player" etc, wonder what they think now.

Yeah, definitely some surprises in there.
Loved COH but Rudoni is clearly an upgrade.

I wouldn't swap him for Hamer let alone O'Hare.

I love Rudy
The best thing to happen to Rudy is Frank becoming his manager. You can now see a lot of what FL did as a player in Rudy’s game, obviously not as good as Frank, well not yet, but the effect of FL on Rudy game has taken him up at least one level, maybe more.
You can see a bromance developing between them too.
Same with Torp, Shame he got injured when he did.

Factually, yes.

It was pretty obvious that Rudoni has much much more about him though, wasn’t it?

Except of course on sartorial issues. 😁

Rudoni has grown as a player under Lampard, and is fast becoming a premier league quality player.

I'd say O'hare hasn't flourished as well as we might of expected at Sheffield Utd, his return of 2 goals in 44 appearances is very poor, and the fact that he's no longer a regular starter suggests that he's not really suited to the style of play.

If Sheffield utd don't go up I wouldn't be suprised to see both O'hare and Hamer move on.

He’s played in 44 games and has started 38 of them.

No longer starts in the "must win games"

On the bench last night,
Didn't get off the bench in the "must win game" against Burnley which was the game that ended their automatic promotion chances. Prior to the Burnley game he played 90 minutes only once in 7 games.

He did start in the last 2 games of the season where some players were rested ahead of the play off games.

I don't think O'Hare would go anywhere, he reeks of Championship and that's where they would be. I would think Hamer would go to a low end Prem club but then i thought that last summer. Would have been nice if he had have done as he's clearly the one that makes them tick.

So he's been a regular in the side all season then.

Great dummy in the build up to the second and fantastic finish for the third. Big game player! Let’s see if Rudoni can turn up in the biggest games too.

I think you'll find he already has, two cracking goals against Middlesbrough.

Thought O'Hare was the best I have seen him play for them. He is very good at the quick pass and move. He would make a great 5 aside player. Just struggles with the longer ball and has very little pace. This limits his role within teams.

He was up against a deflated ten men. Flat track bully

He's a hard player to justify in the sense that his goals and assist stats have never been good. But I always felt for us where he shone was basically being a huge nuisance - he helped us win the ball high up the pitch and would often be the cause of a counter. Would win a lot of fouls (referee permitting). He'd be niggling around any loose ball or player already under challenge. He'd be up for moving the ball quickly forwards - but as we know in the final third his decision making and execution could be really poor.

He's still pretty young and you imagine he could improve still if he can stay injury free.

I stated before, that I thought he was the heart beat in our team & gutted when he left , as Palmer was a poor substitute.
Our summer signing in Rudoni though , has certainly made me wake up to a much more rounded player & someone who makes our team a bit special ….. as we will witness tonight 👍

As counterintuitive as this sounds, he’s a bit of a defensive 10. Phenomenal presser (pre-injury at least) and decent but not spectacular technical ability.
