Happy to be proven wrong but I always considered being in the 52 and 57 percentile as average?

I mean, I hate to be that guy but his ground duels and tackles rank him as “average”. As others have said, stats also don’t label how many passes were under hit or often lazy passes etc. Look at that howler from pre-season when he makes a lazy back pass, genuinely Sunday league level stuff.

Just started your latest pod @Ric Flair Thanks gents for getting this out there, did I hear right, you were almost positive about Rudkin?

These type of comments in my opinion, will age really poorly. No-one can defend his drop in form, however, I’m extremely confident that we won’t have a winger half as good as Abdul for many years. If we were a properly run club, Abdul would have been one of our superstars for years to come and at the highest level.

Completely agree and understand that football is cyclical. However, falling as drastically from a position of power should stop anyone from having any love for Top and co.

Will @hfaes come out of the woodwork to praise our captain/leader. She always knew that he was destined to the heights of League One 😉

My KPFC rant is going to be out in full force, so apologies in advance. The fact that we’ve sold Fatawu to an Ipswich side 2 leagues above us, and our biggest signing so far is their cast off, Chaplin on a free, really boils my piss. I’m not against the Chaplin signing given our circumstances but if you predicted this two years ago, you’d be laughed out of town.

The sad reality is that we probably won't have a winger in our starting 11 as good as Abdul for years.

Winks’ known interesting choices since Enzo left/passive performances, have been more of the “norm” than his good performances under Enzo. Not saying you’re wrong about how quickly fans turn on players, but Winks as an example is a very odd take.

Why is he still here? Hopefully there are no curveballs and he sets off into the sunset to never be spoken about again. He has zero endearing qualities!

It’s almost as if we never learn. I just hope that we have signed him on League One wages, as that’s our current reality. Put in loads of performance related bonuses such as promotion etc.

We have scouts? 👀

All the talk about him not being at training yet he still got some minutes yesterday. I actually want him out of the club so badly, RM football and Okoli is a recipe for disaster.

Spot on. A Braindead moment, like you say, he was off balance but was in control of the situation. Take an extra touch and play a simple 5 yard pass to the keeper. I’d have been annoyed if did that in a Sunday league match.

Okoli’s lazy back pass 😱

That sums up the player, but I have a genuine question: Is Jannik doing this, or is it worse when players like Faes and Winks hang on just to get a big loyalty bonus?

How many clubs offer 30+ players a deal longer than 2 years? Simple answer, they don’t! Yet we did exactly that with Jannik and Reid. Another example of a Rudkin disaster-class!

£10m upfront for potential is actually good for both parties. We have zero leverage, £10m for Man City is like the average person dropping a fiver behind your couch. Zero credit however should be given to KPFC/Rudkin as Monga is hardly a hard sell. How/if we move on the dossers like Winks/Faes etc will be the making of our season, not this easy cash in.

At this rate the fictional team, Harchester United are more likely to sign a professional footballer than us.

Are any of those genuine strikers though? Edouard perhaps but that’s a shocking list, also scarily when in either the PL or Championship.

The latest post “Ending the week strong” whilst playing rondo is triggering. If these unprofessional dossers put in such pathetic running numbers as last season, I think that I could actually be finished until KPFC sell up.

The 2 games that he was available for. I really like Souttar but we don’t have the luxury of hoping that he stays fit. He’s had a pretty good WC so hopefully as others have said, we break even and make our money back on him. Add it to the list of “could have beens”.

Souttar is no different to 95% of the squad, if an offer comes in that doesn’t entail a huge loss, will likely be considered. We’re cooked when think of our woeful finances.

He’s also an absolute liability in the air. He’s built like a tank but has the winning dual stats of a Fiat 500!

Great shout. I sound like a broken record but the head of fitness should have serious questions after last season’s diabolical running stats!
