Ipswich should be 6-0 down. Boo’d off at halftime!

None of these keepers played any significant number of games except for Hodge and his inclusion is harsh anyway. Kevin Pressman and Mike Hooper are two that spring to mind that were worse than him. Anyway, due to the lasting footballing and financial impact of Ward’s poor performances, he is the worst keeper that has played for us and he’s the one that should give you PTSD! His presence and selection during our relegation season was, and continues to be, an absolute catastrophe - as is the inflated wage gifted to him as our 3rd choice keeper.

Unbelievable that Wolves have appealed the Cunha incident. There’s absolutely nothing that could justify a snide elbow to the back of the head followed by a face grab and the chucking away of a man’s glasses. All caught on the finest HD cameras too. A tactical appeal will ultimately extend his ban by a few games as that’s what the FA do when appeals are clearly baseless. If the rumours are true that he’s off in the transfer window maybe Wolves are happy to push the ban to his next club? It might take a few £mill of his price but if they stay up due to Cunha winning them three points on Sunday then the prize of staying in the premier league will significantly outweigh the loss.

I applied with my lad, neither of us were successful but we didn’t even get the email to say we were unsuccessful! Nothing in junk mail. I phoned the help desk who delivered the (unsurprising) bad news that we were unsuccessful . They had no idea why neither of us received an email despite being in the ballot!

What a happy ending!

The only level of responsibility he’s ever been expected to shoulder is to do his job properly and demonstrate the ability of a senior international goalkeeper playing in the premier league. That’s not a disproportionate expectation and he has failed to deliver to that reasonable expectation catastrophically!

We didn’t sign him because we used the money earlier in the season after his loan had been agreed to sign Vestergaard which wasn’t originally planned. Ironically Rodgers then fell out with the Dane, barely played him and ultimately made him train on his own.

I assume you mean ‘that’s on Rodgers not Ward?’ Yes it was almost criminal for Rodgers to select Ward. I always assumed he did it to try and get sacked. However, this thread is about Ward and once he’s selected he has no one to blame other than himself for his performances. As I said, due to the damage he caused in being a major factor in our relegation and the subsequent ongoing state of the club due to this relegation - Ward has to be the worst goalkeeper to ever play for LCFC.

No other goalkeeper has been significantly responsible for a catastrophic relegation and causing such long term damage to the club. For this reason Ward is the worst keeper we’ve ever had.

Yunus very underrated. If Enzo used a number 10 last season he would’ve played way more. Even played out of position I liked him.

Yeh Conrad still pulls off top level saves for the Nomads. Not lost any agility. I genuinely would have him in the team over Ward.

Stolarcyck playing for the u21’s tonight 🤞

Will it be Cooper Time at Southampton or Wolves I wonder? 🤔

Having an aptitude for seasoned sausages does not necessarily make for a good goalkeeper tbf

Get him on the Ballon d’Or list.

No this was from the penalty shoot out against Walsall. Tbf he saved the penalty but he shuts his eyes ffs😂

He has to be the only keeper who closes his eyes when trying to make a save.

Hopefully RVN has seen enough to realise Ward is not the answer even in the short term whilst Stolarcyck is injured. He needs to play Iversen if Mads is out. Yes I know Iversen can’t kick a ball but he actually makes saves outside of his standing up silhouette. Ward rarely saves anything other than those within his standup silhouette. He gets away with it because he makes save-able shots look impossible to save.

Wardy is on 70k isn’t he?

Just watched Conrad pull off a great save at Nomads in a 2-1 win. I’d still have him in ahead of Ward every day of the week.

Has anyone thought about Buonanotte?

I can’t see any of the big 6 after Ferguson. An ok goal record (13 goals in 60 games) and his frequent visits to the physio is why he can’t cement a place at Brighton never mind one of the big 6. His market is the mid to low end of the Premier League table id suggest.

Ferguson hasn’t done much for a long time now. Absolutely bottled a shot against us and wasn’t much of a threat.

Ayew looked half arsed in the warm up and played like a Sunday morning parks footballer. Definitely not a winger who will/can sprint down the wing to attack and definitely not a winger who wants/can track back. As soon as he went off Mavididi changed Lamptey’s input into the game. The marauding full back suddenly became a panicked defender.
