The £12 mill we paid Liverpool for him will be money well spent if it prevents us ever buying anyone from them again 

He had 3 PL starts in those 7 years there, we got conned.

It’s a good job it was ruled out because that Coutinho goal would have really embarrassed him

This shite will keep happening, yesterday was “just” Villa, imagine what’s going to happen against better teams?

It must be quite mentally excruciating having Ward behind you, knowing that the opposing side can score at any given time, even with a half assed attempt. 

Not looking forward to this one.

Agree with this.

He was outstanding in the 5 games running up to the world cup

If you want to keep undermining his confidence then carry on scapegoating him

I agree we need a top class keeper to challenge top, 6 but its like managing a business or a group of people, you support and encourage to get the best out of them (ultimately you have to replace/upgrade but that often takes time)

He's the worst keeper in the premier league, there's no denying it.

We can't be going into next season with Ward as our number 1 (unless we're in the championship, in which case he'll be adequate)

In that case it would just be a repeat of this season, us entering the championship, having again the worst keeper in the league.

What on earth was he up to today? You'd think he'd have learnt from kneeling down on that own goal but oh no, for that Countinho scuffer he was once again a cross between kneeling and then sitting on his arse.

 

He's an abomination and it does  shock me that Brendan has been that stubborn over him. Its no coincidence that he's nearly off the graph on the left hand side on goalkeeping statistics this season.

It’s been 21 games for ****s sake, what does Brendan see that the rest of the world, including all the statistics, doesn’t see?

I’m genuinely baffled how any manager can start such a dire keeper for 21 games straight at this level!!

Love how he just swatted Bailey in the 2nd half, then stood near him looking angrily down at him, like "get the f**k up!"

I noticed that too, how we’ve missed this kind of aggression - absolute viking.

Must be incredibly excruciating to be a defender in front of a keeper who is flapping about at random.

Brendan, lad.

Ward is an absolute bomb scare, why does he keep flapping about needlessly??

Great game thus far, am I the only one who’s worried about Ward here? 

Why would we? He’s our star player. Bring it on Danny!

Because his Surname begins with a T 😂🙈

That's no excuse, it's Mark Travers ffs.

Some good news, Ward is no longer the worst keeper in the Big 5 European Leagues, according to the updated FBRef stats. He's now ranked 157th out of 161. Keep it up Danny!

 

**** me how is Mark Travers ranked higher??? Embarrassing that.

Pretty good transfer window on paper, but I fear that not replacing Ward will continue to cost us dearly.

Nice fans voted him their MOTM against Lille yesterday (69% of the vote ), 7 saves in a 1-0 win

 

 

Not converting at least one goal in those three 1v1s must have been frustrating.

Walsall is 11th in league two.

Is it only our manager who uses a notepad? I don't see any of the others using one.

Rumors are that some things got lost in translation, the poor lad mistook Championship football for Champions league football next season.

Brendan's a masterful tactician, they've come to learn from the best!

Even in the stats he's out in no mans land. Hard to believe we went from having Schmeichel to this clown...
