Yellowhammer 84 Posted November 29, 2014 Ruddy has been getting worse , today was his worst performance in a Norwich shirt, lack of confidence spreading throughout the team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted November 29, 2014 I agree. Along with Turner he was responsible for both goals today and has been beaten several times by eminently saveable shots from distance this season.His reaction today to some ironic cheers from the crowd when he managed to punch one clear was not good to see. Yes it''s not nice getting stick from your own fans, but when you''re having an undeniably poor game in a team who are woefully underperforming, it is inevitable. If you don''t like it, your near six-figure monthly pay packet is more than adequate compensation for your grievance..I was massively disappointed in Ruddy today, who this morning I would have described as my favourite Norwich player. Not anymore.Time to give Rudd a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted November 29, 2014 Not saying he hadn''t made mistakes but I felt sorry for him. He''s done great stuff for City, he appears to care about the club and his performances but he''s going through a tough patch and the crowd have turned on him.

bundo 0 Posted November 29, 2014 Not been the same since Dave Watson the goalkeeping coach left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRobert 38 Posted November 29, 2014 I didn''t agree with this sentiment until he nearly dropped the ball into the goal today. His confidence seems shattered. Won''t hurt to give Rudd a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted November 29, 2014 Good point. Though Hodgson ignoring him from the England squad at a time when he was quite clearly the second best English keeper around.That certainly isn''t the case this season though, he''s not even close to being the top keeper in the Championship.

shaunieboy77 72 Posted November 29, 2014 They are all off form. Rudd in goal is just papering over the enormous crack sitting in the dugout trying to manage them all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
percy varco 196 Posted November 29, 2014 When he has martin playing centre half in fromt of him its not surprising he isnt confident. Our defence is rubbish, sort that first before blaming Ruddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creative Midfielder 1,976 Posted November 29, 2014 Our defence has certainly made mistakes this season but no defence can be secure when a keeper can''t collect a cross or a corner four or five yards from his line.Ruddy has frequently missed saveable shots from distance this season but today was even worse - virtually any of the other championship keepers I''ve seen this season would have prevented both Reading goals today.Giving Rudd a chance may work or it may not but it can''t be any worse than persisting with Ruddy in his current form - it isn''t doing us or him any good whatsoever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
