I might be wrong, but I seem to remember more howlers

by Hart than Bunn. In fact I can't remember anything really awful by Bunn at all. The Wigan goal was probably the worst, & he was unsighted for that one.
He's just a bit too small to be a top keeper, but I'd say there's little to choose between him & most of the 'top' keepers.

Ruddy is better, though, as he can completely dominate his box.
But I don't think Bunn has cost more than 2 or 3 points - & he's pulled off some match winning saves.

        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
