Ruddy needs to be dropped, now. Not good enough from a first choice goalkeeper of any Premier League club to be making as many silly mistakes as him. He's effectively lost us 2 points here today. No blame attached to Martin, for whom it is a shame, as he had a very impressive 2nd half.
Performance-wise though I'm really pleased. Neil got the set-up bang on, and all 3 centre backs, Martin, Bennett and Bassong had great games. The main frustration though obviously is that we conceded 2 completely avoidable goals, the first one Bennett should be doing better with, other than that though I thought he did well again. We genuinly posed a threat going forward as well, and once we got the equaliser I was actually confident we'd see it out. Brady was excellent yet again despite being played on the right, and Tettey and Mulumbu looked great together. Jerome was also impressive, and deserved his goal for all the hard work he put in against one of, if not the, best defence in the league.
Disappointing result but there's reason for a lot of encouragement after that, and hopefully we can build on this now and put the run of bad performances behind us. As I said though earlier, it's time to give Rudd a chance, Ruddy is costing us too many points right now.
