If you lived to be 300 you might have a 50/50 chance because I'd have gone senile by then....Appreciate the English lesson but you have a long way to go with this football lark. 🙂
 
The save Rudd made from Reid was all about positioning and nothing much else, to the extent that I can't quite believe how good people are saying it was. Fair play for being in the right place, but I'll leave it there.

I like Rudd, he's a good goalkeeper and a good option. Chalk and cheese to Maxwell, but I don't think there's much between them in overall contribution if I'm honest. Rudd is probably better in his 6 yard box, Maxwell is an excellent, communicative sweeper keeper.

Good to have to good options.
 
It was a fantastic save, either side of him or on another day it goes in. Credit to Rudd though, he's playing well and shows a lot of passion.
 
A good keeper won't get in the match report unless they make great saves. Declan Rudd falls into that category. I always noticed Maxwell on the pitch because he did things that worried me. Rudd is far the more solid keeper in my opinion. The defenders seem to know exactly what he's gonna do

Precisely my point, I think it probably hit his chest and was therefore down to him just being in the right place? As I said, it seemed more about positioning than a world class reaction save. If he did react so quickly at point blank range rather than the ball just hitting him I will revise my opinion!

Very good positioning, but surely the point that "either side of him" it's a goal suggests it was straight at him? I'd expect all keepers to stop shots straight at them and wouldn't deem it to be fantastic.

I thought the Bristol keepers save was better.
Sorry Declan.

Agreed.

That must be why they left two balls for him to claim last night, he didn’t come and we almost conceded.

After spending far too long reading that post, I think I understand what you meant. Did we concede or nearly concede from the 2 balls you mention?

I see you edited it using English

You said the defence know exactly what he is going to do.

In that case why (on separate occasions) did they leave two balls for him to come and claim. Yet on both aforementioned occasions he remained on or near his line. This caused confusion and provided the opposition with an opportunity which would otherwise not have arisen. If that’s not clear enough then we can try French!

I rate Maxwell. But him rushing off his line all the time unsettled us. Look at the goals conceded when he was in goal and you'll see what I mean. We seem more settled with Rudd. Albeit Maxwell has far better distribution
