Captain Canary Jr. 0 Posted June 28, 2012 Apparently Hughton''s interested in bringing Dave Watson, goalkeeping coach at BCFC and England. From what I''ve heard, he''s played a big role in the development of keepers such as Joe Hart, Ben Foster and Jack Butland, and is very highly rated at his job.What''s everyone''s views on this potential appointment?

Yellow Wal 316 Posted June 28, 2012 He will certainly have some of the best keepers in the country to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,654 Posted June 28, 2012 Have we actually ascertained whether rudd is still under contract. Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere and i''ve missed it but i read somewhere that his contract expires next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 29 Posted June 28, 2012 Hope he does join because he''s credited with bringing Hart on leaps and bounds (literally?) when at B''ham. And obviously Butland is now the next big thing and has worked with him so he must be doing something right. Sign him up! Would love for Ruddy et al to have a coach with his reputation.

Indy_Bones 444 Posted June 28, 2012 I honestly can''t see why he wouldn''t want to come here if we made the approach, and it certainly fits better with his role at England to be at a premiership club.Surely if Hughton wants him - we''ll get him.Butland is being massively over-hyped at the minute as well, so would be good for him to come here and realise how good Rudd and Steer could be...
