of the most clean sheets (6) so far this season in our league. Maybe time to stop moaning about him?

It's even better than that at 8. Sheff Wednesday, Leeds, Middlesborough, Reading, Cardiff, Millwall, QPR and Bolton. Certainly had a dodgy spell but hopefully behind him and will now be stronger than before.
 
Before posters use the thread to place the entire blame for a corresponding period of shit defending and a colossal injury list on him....

Take a breath....
Take a break.....
Engage your football brain and

Put a dropped cross at Fulham (personally thought the media pics showed a foul) and stepping the wrong way on a free kick at ... damm forget the game into context of what other keepers do significantly more often our fella does.

Said it before and I will say it again. Maxwell, Pearson and Hugil are our team. When they don't fly then we always struggle.

Engaging my football brain tells me he is good but does silly erratic things such as bursting out of his box when staying put would be wiser and his distribution is often too slow
But easy things to work on thus enhancing his game. A good keeper at this level but probably not a 1st pick if we ever got to the promised land

Fair comment - but have a look at Neuer if you want to see silly erratic. For me I prefer the odd heart flutter to wondering where the keeper is.

Speed of distribution yep I agree but others I have chatted with on this very thing say it's down to instructions and some players hiding on a poor angle and not making the run. It's not as if he can't get the ball out quick when he wants.

Yep, better the right ball than the quick wrong one.
 
All goalkeepers make mistakes and cost points also save a lot of points as well. In Maxwell I believe we have a very very good keeper for this level . As a former goalkeeper myself people are all to quick to remember the faults but forget the saves . If a forward misses or any outfield player makes a mistake it is soon forgotten gives us goalies a break it is not as easy as you think............

I think you’re silly comparing Maxwell with the best keeper in the world. He is the ultimate ‘sweeper keeper’.

Maxwell has made mistakes, but for me he would still be number one until he makes another catastrophic error (such as Fulham away). Then it is time to give our record signing for a keeper a go I’d suggest?!

I'm not a Maxwell fan but I think that's because I've been spoiled for all other goalkeepers after Pickford. I appreciate he makes some excellent saves and wins us points but the amount of errors he has made this season is unacceptable, a lot of them have thankfully gone unpunished. He made 3 in one game at Derby and got very lucky, he took out Watmore against Sunderland and got away with it, many others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

However, I'm not really a fan of Rudd either so I'm happy for him to keep his place for now. Like I say, he does make some excellent saves and more often than not his catching from crosses is impeccable (Fulham aside), if he didn't make those mistakes he'd be playing for a better side than us so can't complain too much.
