Danny Ward

[FLAN]

Totally bottled second goal. You are a keeper. You will be protected. Get the ball and clear the player out. He’s pathetic 

and the first was equally as poor

This has been mentioned before, but I genuinely believe that he was content with earning a good paycheck without the pressure and stress of performing at a high level. Now that he has been exposed, I doubt he will ever come close to earning his current wage again once his contract runs out.

He's been offered a new 3 year contract

There are a number of frauds posing as professional footballers at Leicester at the moment but this guy is right up with Amartey. Its easy to blame them, but we know where the fault lies. I despise that fecking poison dwarf because he’s biggest fraud of all.

Worst keeper in the division and a good half way down the championship too. 

[Tuna]

Didn't see the goals so can't really comment on how shite he was but even Owynn and Pipes were calling him out for the first one.

[Kierzz]

He's going to be the primary cause of our relegation

Tim Howard also called it a clear goalkeeper error for the first one. We are living a nightmare with this clown.

How can you judge Iversen? He at least needs the extended opportunity that Ward has had. Even if he turns out not to be the long term solution, he can’t do any worse than Ward. What can possibly be worse for a keeper than conceding saveable goals in EVERY game. 

He did well at Preston agreed...but in the championship...his distribution is awful...he was bang average against Blackburn but to say he is better or worse than ward is fairly irrelevant...both are not premier league standard unless you wear blue tinted spectacles

Danny Ward every time he steps on a pitch

When I’ve seen Iverson he’s always looked ok did well at Preston and got in team of the season at Rotherham the year before. He can’t be worse than Ward.

We are not a great team this season, but I'd be as bold to say if we go down, a decent keeper would have been the difference.

[Old Fox]

Smithies would be a better bet than both !! 
 

Reality is that goalkeepers in the prem can cost or contribute a big points gap…..guarantee we would have 7 or 8 more points if he was still here…..probably the biggest mistake preseason

He made a few good saves today. Can’t take that away from him.

Actually - I'd be happy to. Both saves were as routine as you can get for even a below average keeper.

 

The Fofana header is right at him. He puts in a good flop but if he doesn't save that it may be the most shocking goal of the day.

 

The one off the ground - it bounces exactly to the perfect height for his already diving hand - it's fortunate more than anything, a little higher or lower and he just swipes it into the back of the net - it's again the perfect height for him in that situation.

 

The saves were routine even if his flailing and flopping deceived you.

 

The goals were HORRENDOUS.

We genuinely might as well start every game one nil down with this utter plank in goal. Below average at best in every single department.

I’m not wearing anything tinted, the point is changing the keeper might have a positive effect. He’s certainly a better shot stopper than Ward. I agree distribution with his feet isn’t the best but look at Pope. Ultimately a goalkeeper should first and foremost stop goals. Being good at kicking is secondary - Ward isn’t that great with his distribution anyway. Trying Iversen isn’t going to make it any worse, we are losing every game and conceding lots of questionable goals with Ward. If we do the same with Iversen at least we can say we tried something to stop the rot.

Not saying he's wrong, but Tim Howard is an absolutely awful pundit

[Bordersfox]

A lot of people*  have messaged me asking for an update on Danny the Snowman so on my walk home from the pub I did a welfare check.  He's not doing too well I'm afraid ladies and gentleman.

I agree not convinced by Iverson, an older more mature head would be useful to see.

We basically have. Conceded the first goal in each of our last 9 matches.
