Wolverhampton Wanderers look to be in rude health between the sticks.

Wolves fans celebrate during the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Wolverhampton at iPro Stadium on August 12, 2017 in Derby, England.

Some Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have warned John Ruddy over his place in the side, after Will Norris’ latest display.

Both goalkeepers only arrived at Molineux this summer, with the experienced Ruddy – a once-capped England international – immediately installed as first choice by head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

But Norris – the 24-year-old who was playing for non-league Braintree Town two seasons ago – has featured in all three of Wolves’ League Cup fixtures so far and continues to make a positive impression.

He pulled off a string of saves as Wanderers narrowly overcame their latest adversaries, third tier Bristol Rovers, who succumbed to Bright Enobakhare’s extra-time strike in the West Midlands.

And after Ruddy’s questionable role in Nottingham Forest’s equaliser during Wolves’ previous outing – which they won 2-1 in the end – the 30-year-old may be feeling the pressure.
