Would be hilarious if he didn't get selected for the World Cup for actually playing lol 

 

How he made it to Wales No1 by just sitting on our bench ill never know...

He is no longer the Wales No.1. He missed the match against austria and hennessey did fine, so was sticked to by Page. Then Hennessey was heroic against Ukraine. Ward then wasted his chance to push Hennessey, by being shit every match😂

Summed up nicely. Ward was one of Eales' best players in the Euros so that gave me a false glimmer of hope for this season.

How come he was on the bench last night. Small knock or have they seen a slight dip in club form?!

Ward was injured and missed vs Austria (WC playoff SF), Hennessey replaced him and played well, then Page sticked to him vs Ukraine, and he became the hero. No way back for Ward then(his calamitous performance in the club just further smashed his chance to compete with Hennessey).

Wayne Hennessy, reserve keeper at Forest, is ahead of Danny Ward in the pecking order for Wales… 

 

surely tells us what we already know…

It's a bit sad isn't it? Yes we got a dire defense, but ffs people keep saying we have the worst keeper in the premier league, I think it's expands much farther than just the PL. We could play with a bucket of pigshit as a goalie and still concede less goals.

Thing is, not only was Iversen first choice for a Championship team last year, but so was Alex Smithies for Cardiff. Given that Ward has only ever been number 1 in the Championship for a short time several years ago, I don't see any compelling case for him to be an undisputed first choice compared to either of them. With his current appalling form, he needs dropping, there's 2 oher keepers who have a decent recent track record that deserve a shot ahead of him at the present time.

He’s just not a number one at this level. I’m sure if this was a case of still having Kasper and Ward playing a game here and there he’d look adequate. He’s just not good enough to rely on week in week out. 
 

Rodgers or not, Iversen has to play against Forest, because he might just grasp the opportunity with both hands instead of diving out of the way of it like Ward:ph34r:

Would the nobbers who thought this mug was better than Kasper please reply here.

This toss pot is one of the reasons we are going down.

I thought Kasper was clearly better, but i thought ward would be an alright stop gaap for this year. Yeah that's not the case. He's awful in all regards. He bottles under pressure. A very Rodgers player

Happy to stick my neck out and admit I thought he would command his area better. I'm also happy admit I was wrong. Well, not happy because we're still absolutely garbage at defending set pieces.

 

I never thought he'd be a better shot stopper though. Kasper was just incredible in that regard. And we really miss Kasper's leadership.

 

It's time for Iversen for sure.

Let’s be honest if kasper wasn’t ageing, sticking to his line, ball distribution getting worse I mean peak kasper there is no way in hell Ward would be anywhere near no. 1 spot. His opportunity came as a matter of some dire circumstances which we all know. It’s wishful thinking that our coaches seem to think he will magically become world class. We’ve seen his level and it’s sadly not good enough especially at a critical time where we really need him to be world class to keep us in these games.

time to drop him and give Iverson a chance. It can’t get any worse surely?

question is does Rogers drop him before or after the forest game? There’s an element of risk for both goalies given the high stakes/high pressure game that it is!

I will not berate or demean Ward...

He doesn't deserve that..he just hasn't taken his big chance..Rodgers/any manager must see that...

No last chances.but he also hasn't been so bad has some will have...!

 

Iverson must now step in and show what he can...must now do...

This is going to need, P.Shilton type of heroics...!!

Basically a 61% chance you will score if your shot is on target!

 

...there are some poor calculations there!!!

Amazing really..one thing one would expect...some support & encouragement for Danny Ward,which he didn't get from home fans, from the start...

So they too failing in their duties..???

Rodgers,Top go missing,where are the fans...???

That's not true. The Danny Ward song got sung not just in games at the start of the season, but even at Brighton only 2 games ago. Off of the park may be a different thing, but then fans are only having an opinion on what they are seeing on the pitch.
