Yeah, because people got used to having a keeper in world class form

Watch MOTB most weeks and you'll ses that most keepers make regular mistakes, we just got used to an extremely high standard. It's unfair to say that our ressie isn't good enough when he makes no more mistakes than most keepers.

Instead of realising that we were often poor and that Ruddy kept us in games people just decided to start saying it was all Bunn's fault, which is not true at all.

      - Shame for Ruddy really as he was in top form,if he'd have played in sweden i think (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 3, 19:06:56
        
        Either Ruddy or Forster deserved that chance. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:09:13
        
        The Forster thing did my nut in,i went to his debut at Hartlepool,thought this kid is good (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 3, 19:17:32
        
        Fielding and Loach are mediocre at best. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:23:37
        
        Exactly,i am 6ft 3, was considered big when i played but the keepers now are enormous. (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 3, 19:31:04
        
        It is true. Unfortunately people expect keepers to perform like Robots. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:35:29
      - Ruddy was the best English keeper in the country up to his injury, IMO (n/m) (NCFC) - mr chimp, Feb 3, 19:04:54
        
        Probably the best keepr in the country in general, hence why we were spoilt. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:05:36
  - He looked well dodgy in his first few games for us. (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 18:57:35
    - Two good performances in the league cup plus Saints away was his first few games (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 18:59:30
      - Is this some commie style re-writing of what happened this season (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 19:06:24
        
        Are you saying he was shit in the league games and Saints away? (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:07:14
        
        *league cup. Eurgh! (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:09:52
        
        This is a pointless conversation. The guy looked ropey for a while. (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 19:12:44
        
        Not disputing that he made errors, but to say that he had a "bad start" is nonsense (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:21:25
        
        excellent performances? I don't remember them being anything special (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 19:23:28
        
        Spurs in the league cup? Saints away? Wigan at home? West Ham away? (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:26:36
- So.you think certain people on here would rather be proved right in their negative opinion (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 3, 18:44:36
  - I'm starting to think that with some people, yes. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 18:45:41
- His main weakness is on crosses. The defenders just need to take charge more often. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 18:43:59
  - How many prem keepers are actually good on crosses? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 18:47:09
    - "He's a good shot-stopper, but doesn't command his area" is one of the canards of amateur (NCFC) - Board Police, Feb 3, 19:20:13
      - Exactly! (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:27:18
      - Oh fuck off. (NCFC) - Board Police, Feb 3, 19:22:56
    - Why do they always punch the ball these days and not catch? Drivces me up the wall. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Feb 3, 18:51:39
      - silly swervy balls (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, Feb 3, 18:56:44
        
        fishface (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Feb 3, 18:57:15
      - The modern ball is so light, it is no easy to catch (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 18:55:13
        
        Maybe Phran but sometimes, catching seems the less dangerous option. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Feb 3, 18:56:49
        
        and if it goes wrong, much of the time you get the foul anyway. (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Feb 3, 18:57:36
    - Ours - John Ruddy - which is probably why Bunn flapping caused such consternation (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 18:50:22
      - Wasn't always the case. My main beef with the Bunn-haters is that Ruddy looked just as (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Feb 3, 19:01:34
      - Which just goes to show that we're spoit and have ridiculous expectations (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 18:51:42
        
        Spoilt?? It goes to show that Bunn has a weakness, the team needed to adapt. (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 18:53:53
        
        We're spolit because we ACTUALLY have a keeper who can deal with crosses (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 18:57:53
        
        it just is not ... after his first few games many posters were questioning his ability (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 19:00:15
        
        Yeah, because people got used to having a keeper in world class form (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:04:48
        
        i dont think good keepers make "regular mistakes" (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 19:21:21
        
        Name these keepers that don't make mistakes in the prem then! lol (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 19:28:43
        
        you seem to imply that all premiership keepers are making regular mistakes. (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 20:31:04
        
        Okay, I'll answer my own question: (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 3, 20:53:47
    - what happened to Gomes at Spuds? (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Feb 3, 18:50:04
  - When Ruddy is fit, does he come straight back in? Suppose he has to but seems a bit unfai (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Feb 3, 18:45:22
    - straight back in. Bunn is much improved, but Ruddy has been one of our star performers. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Feb 3, 18:45:59
      - Yeah suppose (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Feb 3, 18:46:59
    - r (n/m) (NCFC) - DrDublin, Feb 3, 18:45:36
