Lundstram was named man of the match as Sheffield United moved to within a point of the play-offs.
John Lundstram was named man of the match as Sheffield United beat Queens Park Rangers 2-1 on Tuesday.
The midfielder has divided opinion since his summer transfer from Oxford United, although, in his defence, he spent much of the season’s early stage sitting among the substitutes.
Paul Coutts’ injury enabled Lundstram to become a more regular fixture in the Blades’ first 11, however, the January signings of Lee Evans and Ryan Leonard had seen him pushed into the periphery again in recent weeks.
The QPR game brought the 24-year-old’s first league start since last month’s Steel City derby, but his display at Bramall Lane – in which he scored Sheffield United’s second goal – offers hope that he can retain his place at Hull City on Friday.
That said, with John Fleck back from suspension and Evans performing well himself, nothing is for certain.
And some Sheffield United fans are ready to drop Lundstram in favour of Fleck at the KCOM Stadium.
