Thinking keeper Ruddy has put on a few extra pound in weight, watching him on tv last night he looked to me a bit slow getting down to the ball , do you think he has started to take over from Grant Holt ,but then again ,these are just my thoughts ,what are yours ?.
Must admit ´cheval blanc´, I thought he looked a bit heavy too, maybe all his time off last year took a bit of a toll. No chance with the first goal but should have done better with the second one.
All I will say is, that second Spurs goal is the first error I can remember him making for a very long time! With others having an off-day every now and then, I'm not about to jump on JR's back for one solitary mistake!
Don't think anyone's on JR's back dave. I do think the comment about him putting on weight may have some substance (!); alternatively he maybe hasn't quite recovered the degree of agility he had before his injury last season. Like others, I have the impression he is still a bit below what has become par for him. Roy Hodgson was at the game yesterday, so that error won't have strengthened the case for him getting in ahead of Hart.
It's not to do with mistakes it's about his weight ,which in due course I suppose will lead to mistakes .
he's not even slightly overweight - the post is clearly just a wind up. he hasn't quite reached the same heights as last season and the year before - yet! remember, he's only played six competitive matches since november. match sharpness is a big issue but he is, imo, our best player
Ruddy is definitely still not 100%. It's pretty obvious his right leg has really suffered - it was a major injury, the sort which will take a few more months before he feels confident with it. As a resul, his kicking has been very poor compared to pre-injury and his movement is a touch restrained. His weight is not an issue, they could sort that out in a couple of weeks.
This is what we do now btw. We are the celebrity fat club of the league. I've already heard some people saying hoopers fat, it's hilarious.
Sorry Dave, I was that incensed by the comment that I missed the obvious. Well and truly cooked there wasn't I?
Well, I suppose Holty had to pass the mantle on before he left? How long before Delia's pies are held to account
Certainly claims to be on his profile, though I did smile at his post on your board that had you all spitting (Budgie) feathers!
