Danny Ward

[WinslowFox]

He's going to have 1 good game this year

 

29th November he will look like a prime Buffon

 

Which is ironic coz 100% of the time he looks like a prime buffoon

[southfox66]

i know our defence was terrible today but i cant help thinking a semi decent keeper would have stopped one of those or even both them,

 

When you have a terrible defence plus a terrible keeper you cant help feeling you are pretty much doomed

[fazzyfox]

Looks like an outfield player in goal as an emergency replacement. His stance, positioning, attempts to save, whole body language and every last technique, Danny Fraud.

[trabuch]

He looks tiny in the goal. Probably why Rodgers likes him.

[Tuna]

Those Bournemouth goals get worse on every viewing.

There were at least 4 occasions today where one of the defenders pointed their finger to their ears looking in his direction. A sort of talk to me gesture. 
 

It’s happened a few times this season. The defenders have been atrocious. However, he certainly doesn’t command them as a PL GK should

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.

jakupovic shd have started over hamer

Looking forward to Newport. Only way we’re gonna see anybody else in goal at this rate.

29th October he’s going up against Haaland mate. True horror show in time for Halloween. Don’t think I can watch that one unless we change keepers.

He will not drop ward. No chance.
 

That involves an element of looking inward for Brendan.

If not Iversen then I’d give Westergaard a try, surely he can’t do any worse - and he’s got the height!

What’s happened to Alex Smithies? I haven’t seen him at all. Did we sign him and send him straight on loan and I missed the announcement?

It's possible Ward maybe the very last to be dropped. 

 

The manager's psychology appears to be to entrench himself in a position. 

 

His persistence with Ward i could almost understand. But add that stubbornness alongside his borderline hatred towards Castagne,  Praet, Cags, Perez (bizarrely - as he was a former golden boy), Choudhury, Mendy and Kels ...it's the stuff of personality disorder. 

 

I seriously wonder if the guy is well and/or is having a breakdown.

There's a Starman jumping in the sky
He'd like to come and save it 
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a Starman jumping in the sky
You know he’s going to blow it
'Cause he’s not at all worthwhile

He told me 

Let the supporters lose it 

Let the supporters abuse it

Let the manager boogie

Literally no reason not to try Iversen against Palace. 

 

Several reasons why it's not worth persisting with Ward any more. 

[somebum]

The no confidence argument is a fallacy...he just really isn't that good.

[Sampson]

The thing is, it’s not even a star jump to make himself big which at least would have some logic to it, he turns sideways to the ball when he does it, thereby actually making himself smaller.

I'm checking in, not to defend Ward nor to criticise him, but merely to say that on the scale of things, his limitations aren't our biggest concern at the moment. I'd be ****ing chuffed to little mint balls to only have Ward to complain about.

He does look like a joke. But tbh no one is preventing Christie from shooting from there. The shot was actually surprisingly bad so Ward may have put him off. Waes looks worse for not blocking it.

He absolutely are amongst the biggest concerns right now though. A half decent keeper and we’d probably be about 14th now, not great still, but not the spiralling disaster we’re currently in.
 

Can’t believe people constantly try and talk down how many points he keeps actively costing us and just what a monumental problem he is for us right now by saying “oh well, he’s not one of our big problem really”
 

He’ll cost us 15-20pts this season - that is a monumentally big concern.

Im sure Wayne Hennessey would perform for better than Ward in Lei city.

He is one of the biggest problems, alongside Brendon. replace him with a goalkeeper who is  more vocal and has a better organisation of the backline and Lei would comfortably be at the mid table

"Amongst", yes, the biggest (which is what I said), no.

 

Let me put it this way; Rodgers out or new 'keeper?
