Well done Declan Rudd. Played in every league game of last season
Thankfully !
Good achievement.
He has been Sound and consistent this Season after for whatever reason a poor period the Season before.
He looks far more confident in himself now and this transmits to the back four.
Well done and carry on in the same vein next Season.

He’s been excellent last 2/3 of this season. Pulled off some big saves and looks more commanding

I was chatting with Roy Tunks early in the season and asked him his opinion on Declan Rudd. He reckoned he was a decent enough goalkeeper and probably the best we were likely to get within our budget. Declan has definitely improved since then, thanks to his own determination and probably some good coaching from Jonathon Gould (an important signing for us). Is he the best in the division - no - but I do think he's the best shot stopper, and becoming much more consistent.
Much improved this season after being much maligned at times.

He didn't need to start swatting flies at Brentford but yeah, I'd probably have him 2nd to Johnson for POY.I was chatting with Roy Tunks early in the season and asked him his opinion on Declan Rudd.

Seemed much more comfortable with the addition of Bauer. A tall, commanding centre half alleviates a lot of the problems Rudd has had. Looked a very solid, dependable player this season
I have to admit that I didn't think that Rudd was actually a goalkeeper at one time. Now he's deservedly made the position his own.
We just need Gould to work his magic on Ripley now. That make take a little longer!
More chances of reaching the Prem than ripley coming good!

The longer his beard has become, the better he’s got.

What have you got better at ?!!
Mostly hiding my chins but 🤷🏻♂️What have you got better at ?!!
Player of the season by a country mile for me
If the players at the other end of the pitch had been as effective then we’d have been much the better

Done really well this season and along with the other lads is enjoying a well deserved night out at Retreat in Bolton.

I'd be interested to see his stats for the first half of the season compared to the second. He's definitely improved.
