Goalkeeper thread.

So Maxwell (potentially) keeps a clean sheet but makes two terrible punched clearances that should have been punished.

Gets away with them and everyone clamours about how much better we are with him between the sticks.

Bad punches, not bad decisions. He'll make fewer mistakes with match sharpness. At least he didn't sit on his line and wait for the shot to come in.

I honestly don't know where this comes from that Rudd is rooted to his line. Granted he doesn't come flying out at every opportunity but he does come out.

Maxwell always has a mistake in him and always has me on edge.

I think it's a little exaggerated but he's far less proactive than Maxwell. Rudd reminds me of lonergan. Great keeper but I'd rather have Maxwell. He might make the odd mistake (far fewer than some people seem to believe) but he shuts down so many chances before they're even there.

No they don't Paddy... Just as many clamour about Rudd being the best...It's just a question of which attribute you prefer,,I'm in the 12th man camp.

The one in the first half when he tried to punch with both hands was a straight forward catch listening to the commentary on R Lancs. That was a bad decision as well as a bad punch
 
Both are decent enough keepers with their own strengths and weaknesses. I prefer Rudd but Maxwell is in possession of the gloves and after a clean sheet he keeps them.... his until he makes errors

I'm the same. Rudd was always my choice but Maxwell has kept a clean sheet and should keep his place.
 
Anyone on the game tonight can see why Maxwell MUST start in goal. His starting position is 5 yards ahead of rudd, defence know he's there to sweep up, always talking to back line. Comes out for crosses and tonight made saves when needed. Yes he does have errors in his game but to see him come out and claim crosses was like scoring a goal for me. More pros than cons. What we can't do is chop and change goalie for any and every error they make. Tonight the defence looked far more assured with Maxwell as keeper.
 
no question maxwell plays on saturday...and exactly what we hoped/thought might happen. Rudd isn’t a bad keeper but he’s not playing well, easy decision to put maxwell in and give rudd a rest and wait for his next chance
 
Maxwell had 2 dodgy punches but didn't put us in immediate danger.

The way he mops up and starts so far of his line is massive to the way we defend.

3 times balls over the top from Leeds would have put us in trouble if Maxwell hadn't come out for them, Rudd would have been routed to his line no doubt.

Not sure how you work out that first sentence, both dodgy punches dropped straight to Leeds players and they should really have scored. I think Maxwell was very good overall tonight but to say he didn’t put is in immediate danger with those punches is just bizarre.

One fell to a player that was a weak as piss header at goal, the other was given to a player on the edge of the box with Maxwell in a decent position and loads of bodies in the way.

Both hard chances to score.
