Yes, and Ward shouts with plenty of time too. I might be wrong but i feel there is probably a lack of trust that contributed to it, and we have seen Wouts mind set has very much been to deal with everything around him. If that ball disappears high into the stands everything thinks he's awesome because he's showing intensity and getting stuck in. If he leaves it and Ward is hopelessly out of position (which we have seen many times) then everyone thinks he's useless because he's not dealing with the ball coming his way. Hopefully the 2 of them can learn and patch themselves up from this.Â
Mike1983 Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 The trust issues are deeply rooted in the dreadful indecisive performances Ward has shown the first many games this season, but for last night I don’t know what we expect Ward to do differently, can’t fault him, he did what he was supposed to do.  It’s the manager’s responsibility to sort this out. 2
MPH Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 I can only assume that there was no money budgeted nor made available for a new keeper this season, I’m also assuming the fact we spent 13m on him indicated it was always the plan for him to replace Kasper.   but it just isn’t working out. We need better. However I think we will have to wait unit the summer for a new keeper. 1
Popular Post Suzie the Fox Posted 31 December 2022 Popular Post Posted 31 December 2022 Never want to put down one of our players, but i'm way more nervous when the ball goes into our box than i ever was with Kasper. (Probably due to the amount of goals we shipped at the start of the season and that certainly was not just down to him.) But with Kasper even when we had some shite defending he could and did pull off a worldie, i cannot recall Ward ever doing that.  He also has made some awful howlers in many games and unless its just cause my memory is crap, i don't recall Kasper in all the time he played for us making that many.  6
Long Eaton Fox Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 Can't really remember Ward making any decent saves. Never seems to stop anything.

Dahnsouff Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 Disclaimer This is not seeking to make a comparison  How unsure, dodgy was Kasper when he became #1 initially? My memory could probably obtain the information, but it would likely give me a headacheÂ

In his prime which spanned quite a few seasons, he was probably a top3 GK in the league.  It makes such a difference to have a goalie who can save the day even when the team is having a bad day.

Better to be a Leicester Support and support him even when he is not at his best  About spot on really. He's the one at the moment. We had a 6 game run even vs Man C, where we looked really solid. He makes mistakes, but so did Kasper (quite a few the last year or two) AND they have sorted to some extent the chronic defending of corners (Newcastle excepted). But the whole of this season he has probably made 2-3 saves per match which looked goals if he wasn't in the way. We have bigger fires to fight this transfer window and we'll have to live with him and hope he improves and CONSISTENTLY gives of his best. Quite impressive though when not only did he turn out for us last night but he was at Ally Pally earlier in the day vs Michael Smith in the Worlds.

gurru991 Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 He is a very average goalkeeper who looks uncomfortable whenever the ball is anywhere near him. Â Rodgers has been bigging him up since he got here but he is not a keeper to build a team around. Iverson must be dogshit if Ward is clearly ahead of him. 2

More like Politics, BR having to justify his decision in making him no 1. Without giving Iversen his big chance. 1
Foxes99 Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 Whenever we’ve been relegated over the last 25 years from premier, can  look back on those teams. Can mostly say he was a shocker or  he was totally out his depth, the odd he was alright. I’m pretty sure  how we would all judge ward  if we went down, which  says it all, (Also ignoring his forest display in the cup and his party afterwards with hamza and co)  but we need a new keeper that can dominate the defence.Â
