'Improving Rudoni an upgrade on O'Hare'

I don't like saying "I told you so" about anything, but in Jack Rudoni's case, I'll make an exception – "I told you so!"

Regular consumers of our content on BBC CWR will know I was advocating signing him long before the Sky Blues got the then 22-year-old to put pen to paper last June.

I'd seen enough on several occasions, watching him play for Huddersfield, against both West Bromwich Albion and Coventry, to know he would fit right in at the CBS Arena.

I must admit, though, I'd begun to doubt myself, after a slow start to his City career, but now the traditional tortoise-like beginning to a campaign has given way to something more akin to the hare in full cry, although clearly us fans hope our story this season doesn't finish with the hare being overtaken at the last.

Anyway, enough of the animal analogies. Rudoni's numbers are very impressive.

In his 34 appearances, he's had 20 attempts on target, made 52 key passes, executed 26 dribbles, and most importantly, scored four goals (a tally that, admittedly, could be improved upon), while contributing 10 assists, from corners, free-kicks and open play.

Some fans have made the comparison with Callum O'Hare, and for me, it was all about end product with him. That aspect of his game improved towards the end of his Coventry career, but in my humble opinion, Rudoni is an upgrade.

Hopefully, the consistency he and his team-mates have discovered can continue; let's face it, when they're all fit and firing, a midfield of Matt Grimes, Ben Sheaf and Jack Rudoni is insane at Championship level, isn't it?
