Declan Rudd

[Durutti]

He's come a long way from the 'Two Princes' days of the Spin Doctors. Well done to him

Rudd became a poor keeper when North End employed a goalkeeping coach who didn't earn a professional contract and whose highest level of football was the North West Counties league. Maxwell also went backwards during this period.

Rudd was a quality keeper when loaned to us from Norwich and has been when working with Gould and Pollitt.

Another example of North End doing things on the cheap.

Rudd is probably in the top 5 keepers in the Championship

I think it was more Cudworth's lack of experience than anything. He's still learning himself but there's no reason why he shouldn't mature into a decent coach. Wenger and Mourinho didn't play professionally but didn't turn out too badly as managers.

As for Rudd, yes, credit where it's due. He's been much better this season, more decisive and pro-active. He also seems to have bulked up a bit and looks a lot stronger. But he definitely needs better competition in the GK department.

Rudd was very good when he arrived, and now he's being coached well he is performing better than ever (my opinion only).

He’s got better and better since he had no competition......
