Declan rudd

When did Alan Kelly leave ? We seem to have shipped a load since he stopped coaching, like others i have no real confidence in either keeper but if pushed i would go Maxwell if only for his bravado attitude albeit sometimes makes him look a tool ! AN is in a corner now, does he make Rudd play and amend his mistake and try to give the lad confidence or drop him to spare his blushes but make him feel rubbish ?

Some way over the the top comments have been made. One said Rudd has ruined Christmas, another said Rudd should do us a favour and top himself! Disgraceful.

He was completely at fault for the 1st goal, in excusable. I don't think it would have made a difference in the end result, as we were poor all game. Pearson was a hugely missed.

What it probably does highlight is the urgent need to bring in a keeper in January. I've said for months, Rudd and Maxwell both aren't good enough.

So called pne fans telling him to top himself is fucking disgusting. Absolute scum.
the poor lad is getting enough shit from shitty sky sports and the media without our so called own fans abusing him. I'm embarrassed at times to call myself a pne fan when you see some of these dick head comments on twitter
 
Rudd has done a good job in recent weeks. I think the player only needs reminding of his error when accompanied by a balancing statement about his important contributions to date. Some well positioned and reflex saves. Perhaps the side were due a bit of a beating and this weekend was not North End's to enjoy!
 
I don’t like fans harshly criticising players, so I find it totally disgusting and out of order to hand out personal abuse. He made an horrendous mistake but I suspect he knows that more than any of us.

He has to play Maxwell. If he sticks with Rudd to spare his blushes and to give him the chance to put things right, it will send out the wrong message to Maxwell. We were 7 games unbeaten with Maxwell in goal, including the game at Ipswich, where he was sent off.

We we definitely need a top quality goalkeeper coach.
 
He is making a bit of a habit of this. Can be great (eg versus Plastics) but should be dropped again and give Maxwell another chance.
 
In all walks of life people need to respect their teachers, coaches and mentors otherwise they won’t improve and they won’t carry out their work with confidence and efficiency. If you are being taught your trade by someone with less experience than yourself you are going to question what you are being told. I’m not suggesting for a second that the coaching set up is to blame for Declan’s howler but you have to question why two relatively young keepers are BOTH making repeated mistakes and clearly not improving in any areas.

This is the problem with social media. It's a joke and well out of order.
Not only this - mental health is a huge problem in sports (as it is anywhere) and it's because of idiots like this why players do end up thinking about topping themselves.

Neither of them are young any more. They're making mistakes because they're just not that good.

I said relatively young. Which they are in keeper terms. But they can still learn and should be improving or at least have some consistency. The fact that both seem to be going backwards cannot be a coincidence.
 
I get that people want to give Rudd the gloves again for forest but it has to be Maxwell. If that doesn't get Maxwell his chance then his time here is over.
 
I can't imagine any keeper on the planet will have more motivation than to give the performance of his life against Forest than Rudd.

How Neil manages the situation will be crucial.

Will it be a career-defining cock up? Or the motivation he needs to become the first name on the team sheet?

If a goalkeepers error is going to ruin someone’s Xmas they have seriously tragic lives.

And whoever suggests a young man should commit suicide because of something that happened at a football match needs to seek treatment urgently.
