Him and Wood are now probably way too focused on their club EPL commitments (esp Reid given new gaffer, and Hammers in relegation battle) - to give any quotable thoughts on Hudson's 'legacy'.

The captain and vice captain of our national team haven't said a word, but yeah I get it, they're a bit busy right now.

The football played under Hudson was terrible. It wasn't even long ball, it was a panicked type of hoof ball. He seemed like a reasonable coach, thorough etc, and the defensive structure against Peru was extremely good in the first leg, but other than that he bought nothing to the team.

Not 100% sure about Wood, but yeah Reid is pretty busy I'd say. 

As we speak is playing for Hammers v Leicester, his 2nd EPL game since Peru! Plus he's probably had to give a post Peru debrief to NZF, spend a day in airports/flying, navigate London's traffic, say hi to his wife and kids, sleep, meet Moyes his new gaffer, attend a few training sessions............bit going on. Maybe Andrew Voerman or whoever has just never rung him up yet about his views on Hudson leaving.

Anyway who's assessment of Hudson do I concur with? You (like me) a keyboard warrior nobody, or someone like Durante - a vastly experienced player who was actually there. Plus also Falloon, Roux, Brockie etc praising Hudson's work. Easy choice.
