Several? You mean 2 that cost us goals last season.

Weight that against his clean sheets and the amount of mopping up he does and you can see who is the superior keeper.

Clean sheets and confidence high when Maxi is in net.

I agree. Not only that the defence seemed to trust Maxi a lot more than Rudd as they know he is like a 12th man playing two different positions.

For me if we want to play out with the ball from the back then we need someone who is comfortable with ball at feet and Maxwell wins that easily.
 
Bottom line is both keepers have strengths and weaknesses but we concede more with Rudd. Particularly away from home. I guess that's because he doesn't dominate his box and naturally we are under more pressure, more corners and croases away from home. He looks better at home as he can pull off good saves from snapshots on the break. We do seem like we will always concede with Rudd in goals so Maxi should start for me.

Just off the top of my head

Fulham away

Derby home

Birmingham home

Norwich away

8 points dropped through poor keeping.
 
Can I just add that I’ve nothing against Maxwell, I think he’s a great keeper but I prefer Rudd and think this recent criticism, before today, was unwarranted.
 
Energies better spent debating the fact we cannot score for me
As a father famous manager once said
Ignore how many they score as long as we score more
We couldn’t score in a brothel right now
Blaming Rudd which is understandable is just a scapegoat route ignoring our obvious problem

Hard not to comment on his performance today Edgy, doesn't mean people are making him a scapegoat. You are right about where the focus should be of course and to be fair I think the entire forum recognises that.
Just out of interest how do you think this next week will pan out regarding possible recruitment?

I totally get the frustration my friend. I’ve been that man between the sticks and you feel utterly bereft after such a performance. As the last man ultimately the buck is with you and the measure of the man is how you bounce back.
As for this week? Well I imagine Peter has already filled Trevor’s diary with focus meetings, my fear is just how much attention he will get, I assure the desire to progress from the management team is very strong but you just cannot shop at Waitrose with a Lidl budget!
A very frustrating start to our season. Time to dig in as a supporter. We are in for the long haul

Yep certain positions in different sports can be very exposed and any errors highlighted.
Just how long a haul do you have in mind, I seem to have been travelling for ever as it is! 🙂

Birmingham’s goal was the fault of both Hunts and Maxwell. You can’t tell me Maxwell was faultless for the goal.

The Norwich free kick was decent but it was in the air long enough to position himself appropriately. Was his fault.

Bore off Ron.

You’re wrong on both counts.

Birmingham at home Maxwell gave hunts a shocking pass then proceeded to race to the edge of the box and take him out leaving them with a 2 on 1 situation.

Norwich was wank positioning.
