ward out paced.

I find that incredibly hard to believe - not.
Lot of people saying on a different thread about how Chris Martin will never be anything more than a decent Championship player, I don't believe Elliot Ward is even good enough for that - and Hertha don't have too many Luis Suarez to give him a torrid time, as I recall <doh>
He'd found his optimum level at Coventry, before we signed him, imho <ok>

Completely agree was surprised we gave him a new contract
 
Beefy I agree with you, but these games could be deciding factor for Hughton. So you would have thought they are taking it quite seriously.

I think from last season Ward was a weak link but he could be lacking in fitness hence why he was outpaced.

Anyway good to see Vaughan score a couple friendly or not
 
Calm down Beefy!
We all know Ward has the pace of a reliant robin & the turning circle of a sopworth camel
Its a worry when he plays as most fans know he's in trouble when the ball is played past him !
I understand it's a friendly but some things aren't going to change !
 
Given that this was principally about building up fitness and getting attuned to CH's expectations, it sounds a pretty successful exercise to me. Score line suggests a proper match, not a stroll in the park. <ok>

Yes, I was quite surprised to learn that Ward had been offererd a new contract - just hope he does't feature in the starting 11 too often. <ok>

So, thinking about this, what should we conclude? Er, well, maybe that the management team have a higher opinion of Ward than some fans do? Surely not! <ok>
