I’ve already mentioned this on another thread, but was my only gripe from last nights great win.
Why does Rudd when kicking the ball from his hand seem to be trying to get into the Guinness record book for altitude, most of those clearances barely reached the halfway line, and are almost impossible to head with any accuracy when they are dropping vertically. Get more distance and less height !
I’ll get my tin hat on now !
 
Im not sure what the problem is TBH.

Declan rudd showed what an excellent keeper he really is last night. His distribution is excellent.

I agree there was sod all wrong with his kicking last night. Without the big man up front now he's usually aiming wide (for Bodin) so some are bound to go out of play or not quite make it.

Plus most young keepers have grown up and been coached to mainly kick the ball from the ground.
 
Why would you try and hit the edge of their penalty box when they have Aden Flint? who is a bit shit but a monster in the air.

Hit the midfield and out wide where we have a chance of winning it or getting on the end of a second ball.

I’ve noticed this too. Struggles out of his hands, tends to roll it on the floor and he’s pretty good off the floor. Needs to stop trying to side volley it and give it a good old hoof on the bounce if he has to kick out of his hands. He’s been excellent recently though, no other real criticisms.
