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.

A simple pass into Hunts is shocking is it? Hunts had hours to pass or get rid he took an age to take a touch and was closed down.

Norwich he was positioned for the cross and Maddison put it in the corner, nowt to be done for me really.

Rudd loves his line too much, needs to be proactive which he isn't and it gives the opposition chances and makes our back 4 nervy.

The clean sheets don't lie.

Last season:

Maxwell 12 clean sheets from 30 games
Rudd 3 clean sheets from 16 games.

Like you say Ron, the clean sheets don’t lie.

Sorry Ron, you must have selective memory, Hunts did not want the ball, he was turning away and had an opposition forward reasonably close to him, why would he because with the best will in the world he is not the best with the ball at his feet, I am sure Maxwell would be aware of this.
He lost possession of a ball that was not a good one, Maxwell charged from goal was rounded and goal taken, Maxwell is the one to blame on the majority of accounts, with some smaller amount of blame to Hunts.
We can also forget about Maxwells other Blunders, Fulham as an example and being on the half way line nearly and completely missing the ball might have been Brentford away not sure . I do rate Maxwell by the way, but he does have faults and make s blunders ...

But if amount of clean sheets meant he was a better keeper, then he’d be starting week in, week out.

Rudd is no.1 for a reason.
 
Just watched the highlights after just getting home from derby via a few pints in town, thought Rudd was bad in the ground but fuck me embarrassing on tv. Maxwell must start now. The first goal let in by Rudd I’m sure he has bet against himself the C@nt

We certainly need a clean sheet at the moment, and Rudd has started off similar to last season with a ratio of 1 clean sheet in 5 games, but looking on the bright side of things, Rudd must be due another clean sheet.
 
At the risk of stating the obvious, given that keeping clean sheets is the raison d’etre of a goalkeeper, some of us are wondering what that reason is.

At this level, he has had just 18 months.

I am on about someone with 5, 6, 7 years experience.

Like lindegaard you mean. He had champions league and premier league experience.

Or we could bring Andy lonnergan back. He has at least 10 years of championship experience.

Which one should we go for?

Hats off to those who have a clue and have tried to debate in the thread.

BUT - Wow the content of this thread has turned into a scapegoat excise. Our keepers are not the route cause of our current position or the "lack" of progress made last year.

Those who continue to identify a minimal number of individual incidents to back their case just don't know football let alone have any concept of quality goalkeeping. I strongly suspect many of you don't actually watch the games and those that do don't appreciate ball watching (we all do it) means the mistakes on the field go unnoticed.

AN has stuck with Rudd he has said a number of times that it's a close call between both keepers. Can't help thinking paying a reported 50% of last years transfer budget on Rudd who was injured when he arrived must weight heavily on Peter Risdale and his relationship with TH. let's face it Kirkland and Lindegaard did not go well.

As for who is our best option I have tried to support both lads but every time I commit to one or the other it's Maxwell every time.

Those of you who doubt the quality of the lads we have based on a very small number of incidents might like to take some time out and check out Karius at Liverpool vs Rudd and the mighty Manuel Neuer vs Maxwell for errors.

We would kill for the likes of Karius and Neuer at Deepdale but they make just as many errors. If you think Maxwell is off his head take a good look at Neuer.
 
We spend millions of years evolving then Rudd goes vegan. What will he use his incisor teeth for now? Maybe, as they are now useless to him, he will have them removed. At least if he then smiles at opposing strikers he will scare them half to death! Could work! 🙂

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.

So you think Maxwell is a great keeper. You just ended your argument because Rudd is far from great.

Last season we averaged more points with Rudd in goals. I'd rather have more points than clean sheets.

I take it you saw Rudd's cock ups yesterday. So does he start the next league game for you because this team's crying out for a clean sheet.

Cock ups ?
Goal one - how did their player end up even having a shot relatively unchallenged, Rudd was faced with a 50/50 at this distance to shift his body weight, it's a split second choice, their player dips a shoulder but goes the other way, Rudd tries to readjust but cannot
Goal two - ball is knocked in to the far post - defenders ball all day long at that range even though it's in the six yard box, little if no challenge - that said rudd went down in instalments and should have done much better.

Shot from fisher to compare and contrast - ball comes to him - his posture and position is totally wrong and the clangers have to return the ball from space - hardly mentioned but just as much a cock up as Derby's second goal

I tire of the blame game. Our issues are far greater than Rudd or maxwell for that matter, we are defending poorly and couldn't bag a goal for toffee at the moment because are strikers are league one standard at the very very best
