Not so sure. In the the 19 games before his injury where he played pretty much all games and 90 mins we only lost 4, and he scored 3 & provided 1 or 2 assist?I don’t subscribe to the Lundstram had ‘purple patch’ for us theory.
He had some good moments in some games, but that’s it.
He never had a great game in the way that TC or Iliman or Coutts or even COH has had a great game.
Generally he was anonymous and ineffective until he decided he’d had enough and then he became an utter liability.
His late runs into the box was causing all sorts of problems.
He was an effective part of the well oiled machine in the box to box role, he was no less than john fleck apart from he was adding goals to his game (although fleck was more consistent for longer).
Ultimately he had his head turned sulked and as everyone says down tools. Its 1 of the reasons we ran out of steam and didnt qualify or threatened the spots in the end. If 1 cog of the machine isnt working. Then it doesnt perform as efficiently.
