More by luck than anything else since he kept missing them

As he did with the one against Newcastle which missed the far post by about an inch.

As he did with Wright-Phillip's cross at the end of the first half against QPR which Derry somehow managed to miss.

Maybe I am over critical but others certainly seem to have blinkers on when it comes to Ruddy.

I didn't think Krul was that great to be honest given the reviews i've read. Thats said our headers were from further out. My issue with Ruddy is he doesn;t take crosses in his own six yard box which he should be getting.

  - I'm sorry but that is just not true. Wtch the game again. (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 19, 10:26:29
    - So did I. Amazing tactic of putting corners in the 6 yard box for tall (NCFC) - jafski, Dec 19, 10:32:17

        I don't think you can say they clearly targeted him by pinging corners into the six yard (NCFC) - jafski, Dec 19, 10:37:41

        I'm not saying he's the new Gordon Banks, just that he's fine for us at the moment. (NCFC) - jafski, Dec 19, 10:59:52
        
        Fair enough. I disagree but such is football. As I have said (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 19, 11:06:01
        
        OK mate. No worries. Just think you're being harsh. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Dec 19, 11:08:51

        and ruddy also has a full back at cb (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 19, 10:42:37
  - agreed and was a great corner tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 19, 10:25:58
- Surman was not ineffective as Holtamania (NCFC) - loz, Dec 19, 10:23:09
  - Surman was effective at breaking up play. I think a lot of (NCFC) - Pixelman, Dec 19, 10:29:45
  - On Saturday yes Crofts was agreed. But in general Surman does not do enough. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 19, 10:26:59
    - To be fair to Surman though I think he's a tidy player. Would just rather have Pilks there (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 19, 10:30:01
- All keepers flap from time to time... (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Dec 19, 10:20:14
  - He flaps at probably 50% of the crosses that come into him. (NCFC) - Dog, Dec 19, 10:29:38
    - 100% agreed. (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 19, 10:35:53
  - I agree re the showing him inside point. But still should not be a 40 yard gap to run into (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 19, 10:29:03
  - On those 'flappy' occasions didn't he usually have the sort of attention from Fellaini and (NCFC) - woody, Dec 19, 10:23:30
- Surman (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Dec 19, 10:16:33
  - He's OK and he's rotating the squad too to keep em on their toes - I like that... (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Dec 19, 10:21:31
    - He has been the worst player (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Dec 19, 10:23:53
