I’m not saying there is anything wrong with being a squad goalie and I have no idea how good nuno was or wasn’t. But this notion that we should accept Ruddys **** poor performances because he high fives people en route to the changing room is nonsense. He is a very well paid professional footballer. If he is not up to the job and is more valuable for morale we should get another number 2 goalie, get ruddy a tambourine, a wolfie costume and he can take a 99% pay cut to focus on his new role.Nuno is a former international squad goalkeeper. I will accept his judgement every time
Huddersfieldthrew two in against Shrewsbury from memory.
Edit- that wasn't last season my bad.
YesThis utter ****** Nations league was supposedly to stop "pointless friendlies",
That worked didn't it.
Huddersfield
I remember the Carabao Cup game against the Vile last year - after his appearance, the "Ruddy - get out of my club" gang appeared in notable numbers, obviously completely oblivious to the more than significant hand he had in getting Wolves to the FA Cup semi final the season before. Some fans have a very short memory span I'm afraid - probably looking for fresh blood following the creation of the "Bennett - get out of my club" group following defeat to Braga. Wolves 4-3 Leicester anyone?Wow...comments like this really are out of place.
I don't get the negativity whatsoever.
John Ruddy is a marvelous professional who has stayed loyal to our club and has always given his best. He doesn't deserve this crap. Whatever happened to supporting our players, our team and our club?

No team in the premiership isn't weaker when their 2nd choice goalkeeper is between the post... Its just the way it is... Off course ruddy character is a reason nuno keeps him... He is probably a likeable character to have around the place, not sulking as he isn't playing regularly.. Probably not causing nuno many problems.. He will eventually be replaced no doubt... But it's about the overall package with his experience, nws the system and style, a big character, homegrown player.... We could probably get someone on a lot cheaper wages from abroad than ruddy... Who didn't bring to the table what ruddy does.. And who cloggs up one of the spaces in the squad for a foreign player......but we ain't getting a keeper who brings as much to the table as ruddy overall.....long term developing our own is probably the way to go.....
Can't tell if you're agreeing or being sarcastic. The pointless friendlies are still going on aren't they?

On topic, to be honest you can argue that any of our own players could have tested positive for Covid whilst playing in the EPL and we'd be in exactly the same situation. I'm not sure if you're aware, but we've imposed various quarantine restrictions on different countries when the situation in the UK is actually a lot worse than the '20 per 100,000 cases in a week' criteria used to measure others by.
If you're going to stop the Nations League, why should the EPL be allowed to continue?
Apparently they fight amongst themselves.Man united are probably stronger but they are an outlier.
Bet you weren't saying that one late Friday night in Cardiff.given up with him the amount of **** ups he’s made during his time here

Yep that Cardiff game was a bummer ! Mind you he wasn't my favourite player after the Watford SF . He's a good pro .given up with him the amount of **** ups he’s made during his time here
Yes, the choices a manager has to make to balance a squad and keep everyone happy !On the other hand if we had Rui in goal we are in an fa cup final. No way is he beaten by that chip as his positioning is miles better. We probably win that game 2-0
Yep. I’m not a Ruddy ‘hater’ but if Rui played in the Watford game, we would’ve been in an FA Cup Final. *sigh*On the other hand if we had Rui in goal we are in an fa cup final. No way is he beaten by that chip as his positioning is miles better. We probably win that game 2-0
The only point I was making is that peoples perceptions change according to circumstances. One day a hero, the next a villain.Using one game to prove a point is petty, it would be like people saying he should never play for us again after the Norwich game.
Over the course of that season IIRC Ruddy made the most errors leading to a goal in the Chamionship I think it mightve been a joint honour going on a 3 year old memory now.
Agreed! ALL of our players are FANTASTIC and they never ever make mistakes. We literally cannot improve on any aspect of our players, management or executive staff.Wow...comments like this really are out of place.

Repeat after me: Support the project. Trust in Fosun. Support the project. Trust in Fosun.

Any actual news about the Portugese tests?

Thank you, getting fed up of the anti Ruddy posts.Any actual news about the Portugese tests?
I don’t think I’m being fickle, nor am I trying to slaughter one of our players.Seems that Nuno is judging his "tangible" value to the club. And he is nowhere near the bottom of the list as you say. He has outlasted several prospects and we haven't made any effort to sign another number one or two. We acquired Matija Sarkic but he's been shipped out to Shrewsbury so on that basis we can judge that Ruddy is more valuable to our first team than any other keeper we have on the books.
I find it interesting how we have fans who are intent on slaughtering a player who has served us well and that they give no leeway or understanding of the circumstances when he is called in from the cold. If you have a defender who makes a mistake in similar circumstances, they usually get away with it but because Ruddy let a goal in against Stoke, it seems he's to be the next victim of the fickle fans amongst us.
You make excellent points ....is t not possible that Ruddy gets to play weekly for one of our other teams as well as sit on a bench during first team matches? Eg I noted he was playing for the u 21s in the trophy comp last week.It's very difficult to judge a player's current ability based on fleeting glimpses, especially a goalkeeper, where a run of games can be very important to find your rhythm.
If Patricio was ever absent for a lengthy amount of time, I suspect it might take Ruddy a few games to get fully up to speed again, but after that, he'd be more than adequate as backup.
He was excellent for us when he last played a full season.
Huge difference between regular Premiership football and playing at a different level. Personally, I have no problem with Ruddy stepping in at anytime for Rui. Seems others don't rate him very highly and that's fine. Football is all about opinions. I'm happy with Nuno's.You make excellent points ....is t not possible that Ruddy gets to play weekly for one of our other teams as well as sit on a bench during first team matches?
If it does go through the squad surely the game will have to be postponed with up to 5 players out.Ronaldo now too. We could be in trouble this could sweep through the entire portugese squad.

The odd one is a bit different to a quarter of your squad.
Ronaldo probably was 3 days ago !The Portuguese FA have reported that all other players were tested this morning and all were negative.
