TBF Rudonis stats are pumped as corner taker.
Some yes, some no. I prefer the eye test but arguments on here these days tend to be settled with graphs and charts and there it is. No much between them imo.TBF Rudonis stats are pumped as corner taker.

Luckily Ben Wilson looks shite with both the eye test and the chart test so that's an easy one to argue.
Considering the difference in minutes there, Colwill’s numbers are clearly superior
Reading that it seems like Rudoni’s job for us is to just hammer in crosses all day long!
The difference in minutes is about 1 game unless my brain isn't working? Its early so possible.Considering the difference in minutes there, Colwill’s numbers are clearly superior

Yeah it’s like one and a bit games differenceThe difference in minutes is about 1 game unless my brain isn't working? Its early so possible.
Clearly an upgrade then. The only stat that COH outperforms Rudoni significantly is the amount he’s been fouled…
Ive seen people quote crosses, assists, shot creating actions against O’Hare and others. You can’t compared because one takes corners and the other doesn’t and all those stats are boosted by corner taking.
We don't really miss O'Hare imo. The old O'Hare sure but he doesn't seem to be that player anymore and he really fell away after his short career best purple patch last season.Fbref is good because it has an overall shot creating actions number but also breaks it down into different types, so you can discount dead ball situations for those players that take corners
Rudoni creates more than O’Hare this season, even when you take away his corners and free kicks.

Which TBF is because of his willingness to take the ball in tight positions with his back to goal, something we desperately miss as Van Ewijk looks for a pass again......Clearly an upgrade then. The only stat that COH outperforms Rudoni significantly is the amount he’s been fouled…

I quite like Rudoni, he's suffering slightly from playing in a team with no confidence but he's been ok and i also expect him to get better.
That is literally it. Now Wright is injured and Eccles is going through a slight dip in form recently. What a time to be alive,Yes agree on Rudoni. He sometimes fades away a little, but he's not alone in that, and his output is pretty good.
One of the better performers of the season so far (along with Eccles and Wright and...that's about it).

If he’s really having injections before games then it would make more sense for him to be on the bench for now rather than risk aggravating things.Yeah. Never thought I would say I was for Sheaf being dropped, but he's just not showing it right now
I'd agree with that. Add it to the January wish list.Yeah I think we lose a couple of things O’Hare brought us, ability to take the ball on the half turn and break lines, energy and being an option for a pass, general intricate passing around the box. Palmer at his best gave us some of that too if not often enough. Rudoni is better in other areas, his final product and general passing is better than both. We really miss someone who drives and commits players in the middle with no Hamer O’Hare or Palmer though.
Torp has to start for me this weekend. I think Lampard will learn to utilise him well. That goal against Sheffield W came on my twitter feed the other day, what a hit.

Agreed.We need to find a place for him in the midfield.
As good as Eccles and sheaf can be, I think they're too similar to be a successful partnership.
In what way?He has Lampard like attributes.
In what way?
I like Torp, but he’s often much too careless with the ball, especially in our own half. Until he fixes that then he’s difficult to trust. Maybe playing him further forward helps with that.
He has Lampard like attributes. I think he will become a regular starter.
this is a good point. In the play off season both palmer and hamer were good at a rapid transference from defence to attack straight down the middle of the pitch (O'Hare was injured for the second half). We have really missed that drive. It has all been dinky doo, give the opposition time to get set, then we'll think about it.Yeah I think we lose a couple of things O’Hare brought us, ability to take the ball on the half turn and break lines, energy and being an option for a pass, general intricate passing around the box.

This is a nonsense, his tackling has been statistically the best in our team this season.Think Torp has shown flashes of being the kind of midfielder we need, he is excellent at reading the game defensively, often anticipates where the ball is going (like Hamer could). His closing down is good, but there's still a high percentage of times where he doesn't win the ball (could be confidence, could be strength).
Offensively, vision, quality on the ball, dangerous within range of goal all good but he gets robbed too easily.
I think six months with the right coach and he could prove to be a pivotal player for us.
Would mind this as us moving forward and would be what I’d try if Sheaf is taking injections.Sheaf / Eccles - Rudoni
Torp
That should be our midfield, in the 4-3-3 formation. Allow Torp to get forward, and Rudoni as the more attacking of the CMs.
if MVE's form continues, I wouldn't be against having a look at Eccles there. I think he'd be a better RB than RWB.
It's not nonsense, it's an observation. Happy to take a stat and say I was wrong on my only criticism of him defensively and that he's performing better in that area than I thought.This is a nonsense, his tackling has been statistically the best in our team this season.
