He may not command his area and come for crosses or bollock his back four like Schmeichel, nor may he not fly off his line Maxwell like sweeper, he may not even have the distribution of a Pickford, however!

He wears the badge with pride and he probably pulled off the most important save of the season today, he will make mistakes as will everyone this season, but he works hard and trains hard and clearly gives more of a fuck than Ripley who just dicks about in the warm up.

Massive massive save in a must win game today.

About time he had some plaudits!!
 
Be it right or wrong, the thing with goalkeepers is, when they make terrific saves, they are doing their job, when they drop a bollock they get slated !!
Overall the list you start with tells the story.
If pne are a play off championship side, then as an individual player Rudd would rate at somewhat lower than that, i.m.o.
 
I get the impression he feels under valued.

He was unwilling to take praise from the town end at the end after his great save, most likely because he’s had a lot of stick from them in the past.
 
If he had stood his ground for the penalty he could have saved it without moving - I can't understand why keepers don't wait to see where the ball is going. But that save ten minutes from the end was a match-saving maybe even season-pivotal stop.
 
Rudd is a decent keeper. We've had better but we aren't about to get better anytime soon IMHO. He works hard and wears the shirt with pride. He did well today - let's get behind the lad.
 
The Rudd haters seem to have gone quiet past few weeks. Can we do better? yes. Is it a necessity? is it rubbish! Sorry but Rudd isn't the week point of this team. He doesn't cost us as many points as people think. He has been made a scape goat for some of our results this season which is bang out of order. Carry on proving the doubters wrong Rudd!

That was Peter Shilton's tactic in the 1990 WC shoot out against Germany, he went the right way for every penalty but didn't save a single one. If you wait then you're laughing if they put it down the middle but either corner and you've got no chance, and it wouldn't take long for opposition clubs to work out the tactic and tell their players to just put it in either corner

Possibly but I just look at Derby county's side who got to the play off final last season - Roos played against us the other week and literally dropped almost ever ball he tried to catch. Jed steer who played for villa isn't much better. He started as third choice last season. I think Rudd is better than both i.m.o. and both started in the play off final

Yes but that at least forces the penalty taker to aim for the corner which increases the chances of them putting it wide. But no-one expects a keeper to save a penalty so Rudd can't actually be blamed.

I was waiting for someone to suggest he could have saved the pen 😀 .
If a goalie waits to see where the pen is going they won't get to it.

It's not even the corner though, anywhere in either the left or right third of the goal and they're not going to get to it, diving as the ball's struck forces them to aim for the corner because if it isn't in the corner there's a 50% chance the keeper will guess the right way and save it.

and possibly why he may not sign a new deal ?

Got to agree I think he gets s lot of stick and if it true we want a new keeper it as to be someone to battle with him
