Do people think that the signing of Mr J Gould is starting to pay dividends or is the current run of form purely down to Rudd and the back 4?

Gould is deffo a big assett to the club, thats for sure. I honestly think, though, that the turning point was that gaffe at Brum last season. Declan got his head down and went back to basics.
A good keeper coach does a whole lot more than coach the keepers, he also has a lot of control over the defensive structures, i think that is now showing.

Agree - our defensive shape in the first half of last season was all over the place. Cunliffe just wasn't the answer. Gould has plenty of experience as a keeper and not only that he has also worked with one of the best defensive coaches in the prem and championship. That surly is a big help.

Did Cunliffe come after Cudworth? I must have missed him.

I suspect that Bauer might stake a bit of a claim here... 🙂
Isn’t Cunliffe a commentator for Radio Lancs?

I remember when Gould first came to us as a keeper, many years ago. We had a young keeper called Andy Lonergan: Gould was keen to work with him and bring him on. I remember at the time being quite impressed by this; it would seem even then that he had tendencies towards coaching.

Some on here seem to have a floppy one for Dec Rudd.
This league is full of thugs who, sooner or later, will get one from a set piece.
Rudd has good qualities and has saved a few penalties and saved some sharp shots.
I can't be bothered looking for holes where they aren't.
Keepers are lambs to the slaughter on here.
Reading did a job on North End yesterday. And, let's face it, they just about hung onto North End for spells, while at home.
North End are doing just fine. Rudd's part of that.

Totally agree. Who'd be a keeper? Mug's game.
Put my tick in the "Rudd's alright actually" box.
