Watford A Match Thread

[Leeds Fox]

I reckon he’s promised Ward a PL game. With the possibility of So’ton being Kaspers last home game, and Chelsea in between. He’s given him this one.

It's not about blame, it's about identifying our ageing goalkeeper's glaring weakness and planning to improve on it.

What weakness? He's an incredible reactionary shot stopper, he plays to his strengths. No point in him coming out to catch and being beaten to it. It's the defenses issue, not his.

[Foxhateram]

I think some of you are forgetting that there is a huge monetary gap in prem league positions. We need to win the last few games to increase our budget for next season!

You can't blame Kasper for the awful zonal marking we adopted for months on end, then the switch to man marking where we insist on putting our wing backs against giants! Not mentioning that we literally have shortest back line ever. 

Have you not watched him on corners? Goes straight on his line and has zero desire to control his 6 yard box and all teams have worked it out 

[Haywood_6]

Don't understand the stick for Danny Ward. Not a bad keeper. Hope he plays well today and takes his chance. If he can claim a few crosses and command his 6 yard box then even better!

Would rather we just get rid of Ward in the summer

[Royston.]

We could drop Fofana, Vardy, Tielemans and play Joachim up front....

 

it's a nothing game

Utter favouritism nonsense, it’s the responsibility of the whole defence

[turlo]

Why does Piper think Ward will play for the rest of the season now after Kaspers just had one of his best games in the last few months

"Barring any big mistakes, I expect Danny Ward to start for the rest of the season"

 

[Aus Fox]

Has anyone asked Rebekah Vardy what’s going on?

And you're putting your trust in what comes out of Rodgers gob as credible given some of the absolute pony he's spouted this year?

Rather listen to him, than the shit that comes from this forum..

You are either ignorant or unable to read. I'll refer you to his many outstanding reactionary saves that have earned us a radiculous amount of points over the years.

I'm not no. It is a bit weird and I don't trust much of what he says but I at least want to hear it first before I make up my mind.

 

Some people are clearly already convinced there's serious stuff going on between Brendan and Kasper based on sweet fa. Its daft.

[RowlattsFox]

Could either be interesting or just him rewarding Ward for his patience by giving him a game. I'm sure Kasper won't be to happy though either way, broke his consecutive games run. 

 

If Ward gets the other two as well then there is more to it.

Did you watch the Forest game??

Agreed.

 

Let's face it, having a player who is allowed to catch the ball with his hands is a massive advantage at corners and crosses in general which we just won't get with Schmeichel.

He won't be coming off the bench then

You've just contradicted yourself.

Perhaps it is simply to give Ward a league game or two as now league status is guaranteed. Must be keen to play a league game after all this time

Ward is going to have a worldie and Real Madrid is going to come in with a £59m offer but we will turn it down as we want him as our new no.1. He’ll then break his leg first game of the season and Hutchinson will get in a spot of bother as he forgot to insert an early release form into Iversens season  loan to Forest who have now had 8 clean sheets in a row, and with 4th.  Kasper playing for Brondy as player manager and Jakupovic has retired.

 

seams reasonable or am I over thinking things?

Doesn't seem dramatic enough for it to be true. We're Leicester City. We make the impossible, possible both for good a sometimes very bad reasons.

 

Now if you'd also include the other 13 injuries to first team players sustained in the final "friendly" game before the season kicks off it might seem more likely.

I'm sure Brendan will be asked about Kasper, can we not speculate wildly/make up utter shite about it until we at least hear what he's got to say?

Are you new here or to the Internet in general😂

For sale a big cake with “150” and a pair of gloves piped onto it. You b*****d Brendan

Watford are going to have a field day

There's no point arguing with him, he's a world class football coach and is always right on such things when posting on here

How come we've not got any academy players being given a chance now league status is guaranteed?

 

Weird that Danny Ward finally gets his big chance, but some of our promising youngsters can't even get a sniff of the bench.

What’s shot stopping got to do with defending corners? Kasper is a legend, but every team knows his weakness.
