Been doing some comparison for a fan favourite to assess how good this man actually is. Bednarek has been one of our best players under RH and the stats behind his success do not lie. This kid offers so much to us. I've compared his defensive stats to some of the "best defenders" in the league and he out and out beats most of these players in numbers.

You could argue that these players play for better clubs and have less work to do. But I still think that these stats prove how good he's been for us.

RH has certainly brought the best out of him but I think that's true of all our players. His man management skills are second to none. I'm sure if Hughes was still in charge we would be fighting Huddersfield for bottom place.
