Well I guess that's bye bye Maxwell then. If I was him I'd be out of the door first opportunity if last weeksw howler didn't give me my chance.

Only person Maxwell has to blame for his situation is Maxwell himself.

Can't disagree. Can't say I'm not disappointed either. He's the best keeper we've had (permanently) since Lonergan and Nash

I played in goal once for five minutes, and broke my wrist saving one shot. Never again. Keepers have my ultimate respect, regardless of errors. He didn't do it on purpose and attacking the chap won't make the error not happen. Its history. Give the guy a break. If outfield players actually did something creative with the ball, other than pumping it back to the 'keeper at the first sniff of trouble, the chances of these errors decreases.

You've got to ask yourself if Maxwell would expect to be dropped after a mistake. Granted it was a massive one and it's not the first, but he's made them himself this season. The team in general, but specifically the defensive unit needs some kind of stability.
Unless AN is planning on moving Rudd out of the club in January I'd stick with him this weekend.
Nice One.

The problem with this situation is it's not quite as black and white as "they both make errors."
Maxwell makes errors that come from the proactive, high risk/high reward style he has. Sweeper keepers are naturally more susceptible to errors as we saw at Ipswich. On the whole though I think he's been very good and made fewer real errors than most.
My problem with Rudd is that there seems to be some fundamental gaps in his ability as a keeper. I know it took a funny bounce but no professional keeper earning thousands a week should ever do that. He's a fine keeper when things go his way but honestly he just comes across as amateur in some ways.
Maxwell makes mistakes because he's rash and proactive and his style gets him in situations were mistakes are likely. Rudd's recent errors can't be excused as easily.
whoever plays, especially if Rudd & Fisher do, the team will be up against it and so those of us travelling need to give as little negativity and as much vocal support as physically possible..
Maybe a game to write off - as so many smaller Prem clubs do when going to the big boys - and treat anything we get as a massive bonus....
We have winnable games coming up with a 'fuller team' and so let the doubtful ones have another week....then beat Millwall, sheff Wed, Hull & Rotherham... I'd take a draw with Villa !!!

Maxwell is crap because he plays off his line as a sweeper keeper.
Rudd is crap because he hugs his line.
Ah well, that's footie fans for you!
