He can't possible have a decent back four in front of him, that's an article of faith

But then Ruddy has hardly got the world's greatest defence eitehr!

Basically if you're going to experiment in friendlies, and some new keeper has had some really impressive games against top class internationals like Suarez (as well, admittedly, some Distinctly Didgy Days), then you would have thought that common sense would suggest having a look at him instead of some bloke letting in goals for fun in the Chumps

Hey ho

- No idea how good he is, Ruddy is not International class though. (NCFC) - megson, Nov 7, 10:31:53
  - "International class" (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 10:50:14
    - agreed (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:52:07
    - he means 'good enough to play for England', surely. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 10:51:13
      - for all we know Ruddy might also qualify for San Marino (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 11:02:53
        
        Shush. You know exactly what I mean, you are having a Pedant. (NCFC) - megson, Nov 7, 11:06:42
        
        that'd be World Class though surely? (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 11:16:27
        
        Ok, I can see that point, there is a difference I grant you. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Nov 7, 11:21:33
        
        blimey, your boots are on today, Ralfers (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 11:04:42
        
        it is something i've whinged about before on here Tricky (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 11:13:39
        
        indeed. Apologies. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 11:20:43
      - are carson and scummer that great then? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:52:40
        
        not the faintest idea. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 10:54:25
        
        well if you don't know how good they are (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:58:46
        
        I think megson's suggestion that ruddy isn't good enough to play for england (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 11:04:11
        
        This. England have few keeping options after Hart, the only reason Ruddy is mentioned (NCFC) - megson, Nov 7, 11:07:50
        
        nobody said he was (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 11:09:55
        
        You are changing your arguement to start a row Mikey.. Stop. (NCFC) - megson, Nov 7, 11:11:25
        
        is it a row? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 11:14:11
        
        yeah can't see him ever being number 1 (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 11:05:33
  - Craig Brown thinks he is. (NCFC) - Garry Brooke, Nov 7, 10:34:20
- John Ruddy... (NCFC) - NoReevesNoFuture, Nov 7, 10:31:26
  - there aren't many decent english keepers tbf (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:39:03
    - Ruddy cont'd... (NCFC) - NoReevesNoFuture, Nov 7, 10:47:58
      - both those incidents he'd have probably been sent off (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:50:20
- Probably a local connection thing, but I really like Stockdale (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 7, 10:27:21
- Whilst i don't disagree re Stockdale, Ruddy is not good enough for England (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 7, 10:17:08
  - of course he's good enough for us (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:31:04
    - If we manage to stay up we should be looking to get a better keeper IMHO (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 7, 10:56:08
      - harsh! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 7, 10:59:45
  - "still leaves you with your heart in your mouth at least once a game." (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 10:21:19
    - If that had been James on saturday (NCFC) - pants, Nov 7, 10:32:38
      - i don't think it would've been (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 10:48:35
        
        He was from what I remember (NCFC) - pants, Nov 7, 10:57:00
        
        then you and i remember it very differently (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Nov 7, 11:12:00

- I actually have some sympathy with Don Fabio on this (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 10:11:55
  - I think he's on loan from Flum intee? (NCFC) - Old Git, Nov 7, 10:18:40
    - oh, sure, if he's been crap then it's silly (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 7, 10:20:31
      - He can't possible have a decent back four in front of him, that's an article of faith (NCFC) - Old Git, Nov 7, 10:23:58
