Hardie is one of those players you always routing for, due to the effort he puts in and because he can have moments and purple patches of excellent finishing.
However at the same time his goals comes in bursts of about 9-10 games, and then that's it for about 25 games. He has a low assist output when running the line, yet he never drops his head and endeavour always at 100%
Not just this season but it seems to be a pattern over last 3 or 4 years.
It's why I am always on the fence and torn by Hardie, this one of the main reason a striker has to be a marque signing this summer for the club.
