Bradwell canary 109 Posted January 3, 2016 Been in goal all season where would we be now in the PL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 513 Posted January 3, 2016 I am very proud of Rudd as he is an academy player. A rare event nowadays sadly. I feel totally confident that he will continue to improve as well. He has taken to this league like a duck to water. Brilliant. That does not mean that we have to turn against Ruddy. Instead we could celebrate our squads depth.

Lewis DW 11 Posted January 3, 2016 You do realise John Ruddy isn''t inept? He was in goal for the rest of the games... Plus the team set-up has changed in recent months, which has also helped our defence. I find it quite insulting some of the comments aimed at John Ruddy! We wouldn''t be in the Championship, let alone the Premier League without him. Yes Declan is playing out of his skin, and rightly getting countless man of the match awards. Ruddy has been dropped due to tactics and form, he''s not automatically become rubbish and this also doesn''t mean he''ll be sold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,699 Posted January 3, 2016 It''s all ifs and ands...If Jerome had scored more of his chances.If Whittaker hadn''t been sent off.If Alex hadn''t subbed Tettey.Etc. etc. etc.There''s no sensible way that we can blame one person for where we are.

yoda 0 Posted January 3, 2016 Fans have very short memories suddenly Ruddy must be rubbish because he''s been dropped and yet he kept us in many a game for the last five years.What i will say though is that Rudd seems much more decisive and certainly more agile so for the moment i''m happy he''s the no 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisy 137 Posted January 3, 2016 People should remember that Ruddy played behind an unsettled and changing back four, also with Russell Martin infront of him. We now have probably the best back four playing together that are available and it makes the job slightly easier for the keeper. I do however agree Declan has done very well since he came in. Isn`t 14th about where we would expect to be about now regardless of who was in goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shefcanary 2,377 Posted January 3, 2016 Yes, I hear you, Ruddy is not rubbish. BUT Rudd is very, very good (at Preston he was MOTM virtually every other match). With him. In from the beginning we would have had another 4-6 points. Without Ruddy and Rudd we would probably be where Villa are. It''s all relative but Rudd commands whereas Ruddy saves., figuratively speaking IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
