"Neil Adams? side have conceded an average of 10.8 shots per game in the league, with only

only Middlesbrough (10.4) conceding fewer."

so Ruddy might have made fewer saves than many other 'keepers because he's had fewer saves to make?

(this isn't me saying that Ruddy hasn't made errors this season, just that the stats used seem selective and could be misleading)
