So, we now know what his manager and coaches think is best for the club and the player this season. What they think about Elliott Ward will no doubt soon become clearer as well.
Re. Ward, I don't see how one can engage in sensible debate using sweeping statements like "Ward isn't up to prem football" or "this one's **** but that one's good". None of our squad players can usefully be categorised as either "up to" playing in the Premier League, or not up to it. ALL are quite capable of doing a job for the club this season in the Premier League. Likewise, NONE of our squad players can usefully or truthfully be described as ****.![]()
I doubt Ward can sleep at night. Diddums


Very strange indeed, embarrasingly so if you ask me![]()
I'm 100% certain Robbie's point wasn't about how Ward might be feeling about criticism of himself, and I'm 100% certain it was merely highlighting the sheer ignorace of what some people write on here sometimes, hence the fact you'll find me bothering to comment on here on here less and less.
If he is back-up, he should wear number 10!
Emergency Ward 10
Ask redruth!

I bet he feels suicidal reading all these nasty comments.
That's my point really, not sure why negative comments can't be made about a player on a forum. Ah well, he could be on his way to Forest as well. Good move for him.

I don't have a grudge towards Ward, said higher in the thread that I like him. But think he isn't up to Prem like that above statement was targeting. Why is someone not allowed to say they don't think Ward is up to Prem? I don't understand. It's a forum people can say what they want but it has to be belittle by some people because we don't have a reason. (although I for one have pointed out reasons). If I was criticizing directly to player at stadium. Fair enough. That's my point by it, in hindsight might seem strange but I don't understand why people cannot point have a negative opinion of a player without it being jumped on.
And thanks Dave,![]()
I'm with you on this, I don't criticize at the game but if you can't have an opinion on a football forum then it's the regulars on here who are in the wrong. I must admit there are a few little Hitlers on here at times who think they rule the roost because their opinion is firmly with the general consensus and thinking everything we do is great.
There is so much apologising for opinion for fear of sounding negative just to cover up any possible offense which may be caused. Being negative does not mean you hate the club, it just means you look at improvements.
I don't think Ward is crap, and I think people are judging him on skills he's not designed for when put into positions his teammates shouldn't leave him in. But he does have these hairy moments which people tend to remember.

Munky, if you post less and less, that leaves more space for the "idiots!"
