Unless he has been training with the back four in match situations,

even then it doesn't really, replicate a matchday... then maybe just maybe I would go with Ruddy but my gut feeling is to stick with Bunn it will narrow the possibility of a defensive f**k-up. Its all about the pressure of the situation... practising pelanties regularly makes them simpler under pressure, the same will go for the back four and Bunn....more comfortable at the moment.

        ffs read it properly! (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 16:03:27
        
        Read it properly? There's no explanation, just a table of numbers (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, May 2, 16:39:42
        
        i do agree the average score should feature more prominently (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 16:44:07
        
        Also the R column (meaning Rank?) is also in red (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, May 2, 16:42:50

        bunn has played 22 games (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 16:46:16
        
        I can think of at least 9 that are worse (NCFC) - Huge Small, May 2, 15:25:41
        
        rob green is only player to have played 10+ games (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:31:42
        
        eh?! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:18:53
        
        I'm more worried about the latter... changing keeper requires the defence to (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, May 2, 15:17:45
        
        see below - it's a fair point, but (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 2, 15:18:43
        
        Unless he has been training with the back four in match situations, (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, May 2, 15:28:27
        
        (b) most certainly, but seriously it takes a while to get used to him again. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:20:29
        
        i'm sure they know what to expect after playing all those games (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:22:27
        
        still requires a mental switch from Bunn to Ruddy and in split second decision making (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, May 2, 15:30:37
        
        No I'm not. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:29:09
        
        Yeah, think you are (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, May 2, 15:40:39
        
        But I'm not though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:43:51
        
        Yeah, think you are (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, May 2, 16:19:03
        
        Yeah, but (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 16:25:02
        
        Both (NCFC) - King, May 2, 15:17:36
        
        There's a third risk I'm more concerned about... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:15:44
        
        wtf (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:18:37
        
        I must have missed your tenure as England goalkeeping coach (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:44:19
        
        fair point. But they did play with him for quite a while (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, May 2, 15:17:37
        
        you'd have thought ruddy would be fit now tbh (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:04:55
        
        Yeah but goalkeepers are a different to outfield players (NCFC) - King, May 2, 15:08:30
        
        Remember that SCC hates Bunn (NCFC) - Huge Small, May 2, 15:15:10
        
        never hated bunn but i certainly don't rate him (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:17:35
        
        i'd have thought outfield would need more matches to get their sharpness back (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:11:02
      - Well that part was an aside... I would only bring Ruddy back if he is going to make (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, May 2, 15:00:48
        
        It is broke though (NCFC) - duke of york, May 2, 15:05:31
        
        I don't really think thats true after we have been saying how strong the back four has bee (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, May 2, 15:12:01
        
        By reading this I get the impression we don't concede lots of goals (NCFC) - phrankin, May 2, 19:51:58
        
        ruddy gives the team confidence though (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:14:19
        
        Put him on the bench then (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:16:23
        
        Play Ruddy up front ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, May 2, 15:12:35
        
        if we had ruddy recently we'd be guaranteed survival imo (NCFC) - SCC 28, May 2, 15:03:26
        
        (n/m) (NCFC) - Huge Small, May 2, 15:06:26
