He doesn’t seem to have very good focus. I don’t have a clue what he’s doing in general for it, the dive he makes he’s getting nowhere near the ball to cut it out. He can see the ball is going straight to souttar and then makes a dud dive as a sort of token gesture. If he reads the game he’s got a simple catch. Its completely on Brendan this because he needs to be taken out of the firing line literally because he’s scared of getting in the way of shots now, iversen or even smithies can’t be this bad

Brendan likes to keep it interesting, he knows what an accomplishment it’ll be to avoid relegation with Danny Ward having played every game. 2
Cincinnati Fox Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 He is so bad, he dives backwards and out of the way of the ball. Big error not replacing him in jan. Get iversen in goal now. I think it’s going to take him getting injured to force Brendan to change it

I've not seen a worse goalkeeper in a Leicester shirt relative to the league they are in is perhaps what i should have said. To be fair, that’s not what you said. I do agree he’s not very good though. Edited 5 February 2023 by Leeds Fox
blueharmie Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 If we stay up and that's a big if, we need ward replaced. 1

I wouldn’t call it keeping it interesting, I’d call it being stubborn and not wanting to appear like he’d made the wrong decision backing him.
Weller Wing Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 He's a really poor keeper imo The disallowed goal yesterday, he really got away with. He did make a few good saves v Newcastle in the cup, but he must be dreadful for a defender to play in front of. Should have been dropped after Bournemouth as that was pathetic

Hamilton Fox Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Just rewatching the game and he’s just so slow at reacting to everything, if we could have got someone in January would have been really confident that the rest of the season would have been a good one
fuchsntf Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Oh Danny,Danny...the pipes,the pipes are calling... I and any more gave you the benefit of the doubt...but just too many waverings, and positioning failure,it's like trying to send in Amartey to defend you,there is no sense anymore. Sorry lad you ain't cutting it..I hoped you would but a GK needs to build confidence,also with the fans... This took us nearly 70yrs to get this far, We have just had special GKs through our great,traditional,poor,bad,marvellous & spectacular years...and the jigsaw ain't passing.. Iversen deserves his chance ,without negative repor,before he has games behind him.. 1
Angus Scott Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Seeing Navas keep Forest in the game at the moment emphasises how important a good keeper is. He has made 3 or 4 great saves & looks very assured, Ward wouldn't have saved any of them

Iversen should be given a go, Ward looks slow and out of sync with the defence.

I don’t think we could have met his salary demands either.
theessexfox Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 It’s genuinely horrible mismanagement from the club to not have solved the issue in summer or in January, there’s some real horrid decisions being made these days
Trav Le Bleu Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Any one remember how quiet this thread was following several clean sheets in October/November? 1

adejo92 Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Navas already showing his worth for Forest today.
Unabomber Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Ward doesn’t look like a professional footballer in appearance too.

Worse thing Rodgers could have said last season, when he dropped Kasper for the Watford game, was that he had two number one keepers. It meant that coming into this season, replacing Ward or dropping him would mean him admitting he had got something wrong. Not something that comes easily to Rodgers. 2
kingkisnorbo Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 Rodgers would go quite far up in my estimations if he had the minerals to bring in Iversen.

Mike1983 Posted 5 February 2023 Posted 5 February 2023 We’ve had 37 goals against, the 3rd highest after Southhampton (38) and Bournemouth (43). Being conservative, at least a 1/4th of our conceded goals, a mediocre PL keeper would save. 2

I don't think it will happen though, I just think Rodgers is too stubborn to admit he has overestimated Wards ability. 1
