Definitely good enough for first team in the prem. Incidentally, Ruddy was in training with the U21's yesterday. Baby steps, but he's nearly back! I have missed him I have to say, he's a great guy and a big part of the team in more ways than one.
It's very hard to say. It's any time soon basically. Luckily Dave Watson is an excellent goalkeeping coach. It was a big injury, so glad he's nearly back.
i'm going to the swansea game, first time since 'toon last season. would love it if it was big john's first game back!
Im not so sure that we should try to rush him back for the Wigan game though, probably a bit too soon. Would be happier to see him get a few games in the u21s first, and have him back mid april - fully fit
If Rudd leaves, we will be left with Ruddy, Bunn, Steer. Not a bad position for someone of Steer's age, to be fair. If he went out on 24-hour-recall loan, I think we would be in a better position to improve Steer than we are with Rudd. Matthews and Bunn can alternate u21 duty
agreed suffolk from a selfish perspective would love to be there for his return have already seen Bunn vs Saints away
