Not the best WC experience for our Danny so I hope his confidence isn’t too badly dented. The wales team were crap in all honesty. We need him back to his best for us so hopefully he’s training with Rogers as we speak.

The fact a fair few are hoping his form does not deviate from poor to decent back to poor again after a poor showing in the WC should see us looking for a new keeper after this season in my opinion.

How so?

 

He may talk rubbish at times on football, but I have respect for him in particular opening up about his battle against gambling addiction.

Well this is a football related thread so rather surprisingly I was referring to him in a football related way, and I think as such you seem to agree with me although putting it in a much nicer way.

How about let’s get behind him. He’s been fantastic last few games for us, and I’d like to keep it that way.

Dannyyy 

Dannyyy wardddd!

I didn’t say not to. I’m just saying that Wales is done and dusted now. It’s back to the day job and I’d think any pro is able to dust themselves off and craic on as usual. And I fully expect he will do!

Unfortunately Danny Ward will never be a top class Premier League or International keeper IMO.

 

He's a below average PL keeper and will cost us more than he saves us. We will need to find a future replacement fairly quickly if Iversen isn't up to it either.

Bump. He's not good enough for us as a no 1 keeper.

Interesting how the best part of one match drastically changes opinions again. He was thrown in at the deep end, with a very poor defence in front of him, most keepers would not have fared well in that scenario.

 

Ward has proved his worth in the past couple of months. I agree with the sentiments that we probably need a new number one, but I wouldn’t make it a priority. At the end of the day, he has the 2nd most clean sheets in the whole league.

 

I think partly the problem is that certain posters actively want him to fail so they can tell everyone how they were right all along.

Fair play he looked a lot better in the run up to the WC, but were defending a lot better as a team. I think his World Cup showed why he’s not cut out to be a number 1, in big games great players perform. Good keepers keep their team in it and make strings of saves, strikers finish their 1 or 2 chances. Look at the FA cup final, kasper won us that game with a rally of unreal saves. Similarly in the euro semis when Denmark played England kasper was motm and even saved a pen in et which unluckily for him the rebound was scored, in Wales biggest game of the World Cup warden was at fault for 2 goals of the 3. I hate to go on about Schmeichel because he’s not here but even an out of form Schmeichel is levels above Ward. Willing to cut him a some slack but DW just simply isn’t cut out to be a number 1 keeper, I’d probably put a gk up there with a rw for our priority list in the summer

I think he is a top level Championship keeper. At Prem level I think he has a mistake in him and his ability with the ball at his feet and distribution is not quite up to scratch for modern tippy tappy football. 

 

I put our recent defensive improvement down solely to Lars Knudsen organising the team in front if him much better. Even Faes was all over the place at the beginning. Certainly nothing to do with Brendan who was clueless. 

 

I expect Danny to be replaced with a new number 1 in the summer. He is competent enough for now.

I’m glad he turned his form around and regained a bit of respect but he is never going to be good enough imo. 
 

I know the iversen ship has sailed but I really hope we are looking into the market for a true kasper successor. 
 

You always feel you aren’t far away from a blunder

You only have to look at his run out of his area to (fortunately) put the ball out of play. That could have been calamitous. Also flapping at a cross in the 2nd half. He's not solid nor is he reliable. Say what you want about the defence in front of him, he doesn't exude or inspire confidence.

OK, he had some decent performances before the WC, but I never thought, and still don't think, he is good enough to be 1st team keeper at PL level.

We’ve got the Wales and early season Leicester Ward back. I’m not convinced he will ever have the consistent quality needed to be a premier league keeper at the top level.

I’m Danny’s biggest doubter, but the whole team was shite today. He shouldn’t take the brunt of the responsibility.

He won’t. But we have other priorities. Selling Iversen in the summer can help us find a new no.1.

I think it’s fair to say he’s not as bad as we all thought at first… but… that doesn’t mean he is good enough to be our keeper. He’s not, he’s far from it. In honesty, i’d say it’s the position we should be looking to strengthen first. Because i’m much more comfortable watching luke thomas  than i am ward 🤷‍♂️

I don't think those that have posted are saying he's the brunt of responsibility.

 

You say you're his "biggest doubter". Surely you can see where the criticism is coming from?
