Is anyone else a bit sceptical about Rudd , injured against Bamber Bridge after about 8 minutes, hasn't played since . Was on the Bench Saturday but last night was again injured and not on the bench in a game that you would think he would have definitely started to get some much needed game time. Maybe I'm completely wrong I suppose time will tell.

Apparently he picked up another a knock so wasn't risked last night according to Alex Neil?

Rudd and Harrop both come from a Premiership attitude and might preffer being excused sitting on the bench.

Very disappointed in their lack of resilience thus far, but let's hope they can get themselves up and running soon.

Hopefully Mavididi can show us a more resilient side to the premiership and jee up the others.

Premiership attitude and might prefer sitting on the bench? What an utterly ridiculous comment. Harrop refused a new contract at United and chose to come to Preston. What a braindead comment from an obviously braindead human being.

Don't be concerned about harrop , any young lads coming from a youth team having to step up to full on 90 min of the men's game is going to need time to physically adjust , Ben Pearsons hamstrings went really tight and "tweaky" for the first few games , give him time ,

It was a daft comment but there was no need for that last sentence of yours. Out of order.

I hope I'm wrong about this but Rudd left Norwich for pastures new when Neil arrived as manager.
I wonder if there are issues still festering?!

What a ridiculous thing to think, nevermind say. Jesus wept.

Fairly certain this was addressed earlier in the summer. Neil dropped Ruddy to play Rudd in the Prem for about 11 or so games. I think that puts that to bed and I'm sure AN said the same himself when quizzed about it.

I think I see what you are suggesting. Premiership type mentality is somewhat primadonna hence a "little knock" = a nice well earned rest ?

Not so sure if that's true but just testing your theory my friend?
 
I was talking to a United fan who goes to watch a few United reserve (or whatever they are called nowadays) games when we first signed Harrop. He said that I shouldn't expect too much from Harrop. He said he's a great player when fit, but he's always injured. This was before a ball in pre season had been kicked and I didn't really listen to him at the time, but going off what we've seen so far, it looks like he was telling the truth.

With Rudd, I think he's just been unlucky. I don't remember him being injury prone and I think he played a lot for Charlton last season. I think Rudd will get back to fitness and put this setback behind him. With Harrop, I fear this could be one of many niggling injuries. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Harrop made 43 appearances last season, hardly injury prone.

If he makes anywhere near that for us this season I will be very happy. He only made 13 appearances in 2015/16 though. Not saying it's right, just what i heard.

Yeah but "United" fans know everything.

Haha that's definitely true. I thought it was strange when he said he's a United fan because this fan that was saying all this about Harrop is from Manchester! United fans in Manchester.... not many of those about.
 
To early to tell how either of them are going to pan out yet. Anybody player usually needs time to settle into a new club, although in Rudd's case I'm sure there is an injury as he's hardly a stranger to us or the manager.
With Harrop time I guess will tell if he's made of glass. Some players seem unable to contemplate playing if they have a niggeling injury while others just shrug it off and play through the pain.
Which one will he turn out to be?

Did not say that they prefer sitting on the bench.

I offered an option that means they avoid sitting on the bench with an injury taking centre stage. Others have pointed out how some players are more resilient than others. Some most likely just get on with it whilst others refuse point blank to play with any hint of an injury/niggle.
