smudger63 Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 I know our defending was crap for both goals, and so he cant be completely blamed, but my word, having seen the goals back, Ward was shockingly poor too. I know the first goal was hit hard, but he's actually hit it straight at Ward, and Ward has palmed it into the top corner. Plenty of keepers push that over the bar in my opinion, and the second goal he basically jumps over the ball. I maintain what I have been saying for weeks, Ward is a competition winner, who's prize was a career in professional football as a goalkeeper. I have honestly seen better keepers playing on the park! 4

Conrad Logan with yet another clean sheet today for Anstey Nomads. He can still make saves that he shouldn’t make. He commands his box and he vocally manages his defence. Wardy doesn’t do any of this. 1

Tielemans63 Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 Big statement here but I think he may actually be even worse than Ben Hamer....and I don't say that lightly because Hamer was barely a goalkeeper. 4

howiemark Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 I know we all moaned about Kaspers distribution sometimes, but we'd be mid table with him in goal I reckon 2
Legend_in_blue Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 Today I've seen him make movements off the ball that I've never seen a goalkeeper make at any level of the game. A panicked flapping bird in high winds has more grace than this fella. 1 3
Stuntman_Mike Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 Just seen the goals back I genuinely think I'd have looked more convincing. 2
Area88 Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 The first goal was saveable since he got hold of it but then actually pushed it into the goal. 2nd goal - he jumped or hopped over the ball. Or was he trying a karate kick?? 1
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 8 October 2022 Popular Post Posted 8 October 2022 What an absolute bum, fastly becoming my most hated Leicester player. Rodgers is Peter Taylor and Danny Ward is Junior Lewis. 11
Guest Col city fan Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 Genuinely don't know what else he can do with this mickey mouse defence in front of him. Our defence is awful, as in, truly terrible. Evans was over the hill a couple of seasons ago, Amartey I'm not even sure is Championship standard and Faes must be thinking he's the luckiest bloke alive playing in the Premiership. Ward is rubbish too, but it's not like he's being helped by the defence is it? It shows just how good Kasper actually was. There were so many times over the past year or two when he'd pull off a brilliant save to keep our goals conceded from becoming even more. I think our defence currently is the worst in the division and the worst we've had in years
Mike1983 Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 I know people were joking about replacing Ward with one of our outfield players, but right now I’d seriously take Westergaard in the goal instead of Ward.

Rodgers is Peter Taylor and Danny Ward is Junior Lewis. I was somewhat criticised for comparing our current predicament with Taylor's regime a month or so ago. It's got a similar feel to it, there's no doubt about it. 1

He can still do plenty, this attitude is a massive cop out. The defence is shite, but a PL standard goalkeeper would’ve saved both goals today and we’d still have 3pts despite the horrendous defending. Ward has already cost us 4-6pts in comparison to if we’d had a bog standard PL goalkeeper (like an Alex McCarthy or someone) in and will cost us 15-20pts this season if we keep playing him, regardless of how shit our defending is.

Yeah the defence is abhorrent at the minute but any half decent keeper has a better save percentage than 50% ffs 4

They must be so nervous of actually letting anyone have a half decent chance. But actually it's a collective issue, he's part of the unit and is as culpable as any of the others Edited 8 October 2022 by Tommy Fresh 3
Clever Fox Posted 8 October 2022 Posted 8 October 2022 He surely can't be kept in the team after conceding another 2 goals today. Unless BR is using him to get himself sacked.

Thing is Hamer actually came in and kept a couple of clean sheets. I remember him pulling off 2 or 3 great saves and keeping a cs against Stoke in our first win back in the prem and then a cs against Villa around Christmas time. Think he made 3 or 4 cs when deputising for Schmeichel, I bet ward wouldn’t make 4 clean sheets over the course of a season, Hamer was honking but he’s like Oliver Khan compared to ward
