John Ruddy - Are we seriously having this conversation?

A month ago the majority on this board were suffering from a serious case of tentage at the prospect of him being called for England, and a Wrath inquiry followed when he was wasnt, with numerous people questioning why Stockdale was chosen ahead of him.

This is a keeper who has pulled off 2 or 3 stunning saves during the season to keep us in games and earn us points, most notably at Liverpool.

I admit his form recently has been a little shaky but are we seriously suggesting replacing him? Spending money that could be used in more crucial areas of the team? I don't know if he is just low on confidence or whether the England hype has got to him, but while we are still picking up points, I think it would wrong to make rash changes, both for the teams sake and for Ruddy's confidence.

        Did you think that Holt would be on the bench and Morison starting? (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Dec 11, 23:14:01
        
        Yeah but surely for an outfield player it is easier to break into the side (NCFC) - Klobo04, Dec 11, 23:18:32
        
        Yes, Morison and Vaughn were our top two strikers at the start of the season (n/m) (NCFC) - wgf500, Dec 11, 23:15:27
