John Ruddy has been included in the Championship’s official Team of the Season – and Wolverhampton Wanderers are surprised to say the least.

Unsurprisingly, Ruben Neves and Conor Coady are also included for high-flying Wolves, who sit six points clear of second-placed Cardiff as Premier League promotion beckons.

But it’s the inclusion of Ruddy which has surprised some of the Molineux faithful.

Despite being in a superb team, the former Norwich City man, who joined Wolves last summer, hasn’t covered himself in glory at times.

And fans of the West Midlands club are puzzled over his inclusion.

The XI was voted for by EFL club managers and the exclusion of Scott Carson and Bartosz Bialkowski has surprised some fans on Twitter.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have conceded 36 goals in 40 Championship games, three more than Cardiff who statistically have the best defence in the Championship, though it seems probable that Nuno’s back four have contributed to their healthy ‘goals conceded’ column more than Ruddy.
