Rudd

I seem to remember many fans questioning the GK coach and bemoaning the departure of AK. Well, Pickford has dropped some massive howlers recently while Rudd's form has improved. I don't know whether AK is still at Everton or not but if he is then surely it shows that whoever the coach is, mistakes will/can be made.

AK is working with the U23's at Everton and not the first team. Hugo Oliveira is the keeper coach.
 
Well done Declan - if some of us on this forum had our way he would have gone after the Brum howler ( me included )
 
I was livid and bemused by Neil sticking by Rudd during his abysmal spell of form but at the moment he's playing as well as any permanent PNE keeper I can recall. Could be missing someone out though...

I also preferred Maxwell! Now Rudd looks twice the keeper.

He's as good as Crowe is bad and that's a huge compliment.

It's a clear concern that we have the inexperienced Crowe on the bench. If Rudd picks up an injury or a red, we're in big trouble. I guess we could get an emergency loan keeper if AN wants that, but it's a vulnerability in the run-in.

Barker caught the eye tonight, but I think Rudd was Man of the Match.

He’s made some excellent saves but he still can’t claim a cross.

I don't think he's naturally the most confident is Declan. Might explain why having Maxwell breathing down his neck caused his form to deteriorate up until January. Getting in a goalkeeping coach who can instil in him belief that he really can command his area might sort this out.
 
You’re probably right.

I think that the idea that you need competition for the number 1 jersey is a load of old bollocks.

I don’t remember the likes of Shilton and Clemence being challenged too much at club level. They both did OK.
