Thirsty Lizard 3,215 Posted December 12, 2015 Well it would appear that the answer to that question is "yes he has".Superb performance from him today and deserved Man of the Match. His saves in the first half when we were being outplayed have turned out to be absolutely crucial in us getting a point today. And he made another great block near the end to preserve the point.Oh, and he was our best player last week too! Well done Declan. Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 851 Posted December 12, 2015 I remember a few years ago he came on against WBA and was class and we barely saw him since despite Ruddy consistently costing us points.Whilst Ruddy has been great for us, I do think he''s been lucky to consistently stay in the side as much as he has. Even last year he made plenty of mistakes in amongst some decent performances and Rudd was years overdue a regular run in the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock The Boat 1,332 Posted December 12, 2015 The shirt is Declan''s to keep, if he can continue with this level of performance. It takes a lot of bravery to go in low and smother shots when a centre forward is bearing down on you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldRobert 38 Posted December 12, 2015 What an excellent display by Rudd especially in the first half. As someone else said, it''s due to him we were able to win a point today. He must keep his place on this display alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holtcantshoot 0 Posted December 12, 2015 [quote user="Vanwink"]What did he say?[/quote]He definitely said "umm" a lot, I got to about 326 times before I lost count.Good performance though, refreshing to have a local lad who feels pride to be wearing the shirt, and it shows in the on pitch display.

Thirsty Lizard 3,215 Posted December 12, 2015 Yes - meant to say that Holtcantshoot. Declan Rudd is indeed one of our own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FCC 94 Posted December 12, 2015 We are lucky to have two quality keepers - hopefully pushing each other to perform well and stay in the team. Big John won''t give it up easily if he gets back in, so Declan needs to continue with his excellent performances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havemyhowsonit 0 Posted December 12, 2015 Think you''ll find the problem is the 4 defenders in front of him. Not to mention the lack of someone upfront to put the ball in the net more often than not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
