According to Norwich boss Alex Neil, criticism of keeper John Ruddy is unfair.

Ruddy has not kept a clean sheet this term and an error led to a late penalty in Saturday's loss at Manchester City.

"John made an error at the weekend but it's not as if he's been flinging balls into the net or dropping balls on a regular basis," said Neil.

"I think that's really unfair - but any sort of error then gets magnified because we're not winning games."
