AJ 1,218 Posted April 26, 2013 Doesn''t mean he won''t be in contention for Stoke, just an extra game to get him match fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted April 26, 2013 It pretty much does AJ. He''s not going to play two games in two days, even if one is essentially a reserve game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stowmarket Canary (not Delia) 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Ruddy has mentioned this morning on twitter about his flight being delayed, strange as the 1st team are traveling by bus, as Garrido mentions the journey ahead. So I''d suggest Bunn will play tomorrow too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted April 26, 2013 Playing Bunn is the right decision, he has been playing well and its up to Ruddy to win the shirt back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted April 26, 2013 [quote user="morty"]Playing Bunn is the right decision, he has been playing well and its up to Ruddy to win the shirt back.[/quote]Bunn was playing well. But his recent form isn''t actually very good. Red card, I judged after 20 mins. Concede three goals (not his fault, but still) and then concede what seemed like a shot he really should have done better with. I''d suggest his confidence over the last four games he''s been part of has been falling. And how does a GK win the shirt back? He can''t come on for 20 mins to try and win the game. He''s the better GK, Hughton just has to decide when to put him back in. Unless he''s lost all his ability while out injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orford65 0 Posted April 26, 2013 The squad have arrived at the FA centre at St.George''s Park, but no sign of Ruddy so my informants tell me. He should be easy enough to recognise, so would assume not playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 141 Posted April 26, 2013 He was playing for the U21s this afternoon, let in 3.http://www.canaries.co.uk/news/article/report-man-city-3-1-norwich-793426.aspx He''s also tweeted on the way back to Norwich, so not joining up with the squad (not that I''d have expected him to with the other game less than a day away).

birchfest 397 Posted April 26, 2013 I think its unlikely we will see him before pre-season, with Keepers it really is about getting into a rhythm and I just think that there isnt enough time between now and the end of the season for Ruddy to get to not only Match sharpness, but also to the point where he is sharper than Bunn. Exciting for next season, we are going to start to look really strong on paper with a couple more signing and Ruddy coming back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted April 26, 2013 I''m happy for us to keep Bunny in goal for tomorrow. He''s done well since Ruddy''s injury and deserves to play the last 4 games in my opinion.I cant see Ruddy coming back before next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
