Amazing how fractions of an inch either way can make or break a player, especially their confidence. Danny Ward could have put town three up at high flying Q P R had he shown a little more composure ,and how many times this season have we seen fingertips deny Wells . Amazing how things can change when a player joins another club, especially if he feels he has something to prove. Or scored the winning goal in the 10/11 play-off final. Small margins.The margins that sort the wheat from the chaff

Fully understand the point sugy......but ward has played nearly 120 games for us and never looked like a consistent performer for us. He may well go on to prove a point elsewhere as arfield to his massive credit has.............but it doesnt deny the investment in ward has had scant reward.

It doesn't surprise me that our current manager chooses not to pick him. If he ends up at one of our relegation rivals then I can see a new manager on the horizon. I'm confused. Are you saying you don't think much of our new manager, then? Are you also saying Dean Hoyle doesn't trust Powell to make the right decisions for the good of the club? I am not overly impressed with the manager, no. We are once again in a relegation threatened second half of a season with a bloody good squad of players.

Or if The Daily Telegraph is to be believed Redferan might not be making any signings... "Leeds owner Massimo Cellino is running out of patience with Neil Redfearn and could soon be looking for his fifth manager in seven months." If he wants to sack him before the end of the season he HAS to do it before January 15th. Football League ruling.

We could wait forever for this player or that player to reach their potential and perform consistenly. If you're lucky or in ward's case cost a lot of money, you get 2-3 years to hold down a regular place. It hasn't happened for Ward under several managers nor would majority of fans suggest he should be first choice either. What a player does after they leave town is irrelevant.

Hence shipping out a bit of the dead wood.

It won't be up to Powell about the team he goes to - if he tells Hoyle he can go, he will go to the team Hoyle chooses to sell to and who ward wants to play for. Don't see how his departure affects powells future? I didn't realise Dean Hoyle picks the team. What does Powell do, cut the grass? You said that if Ward signs for a relegation rival, that Powell will be for the chop? As I said, it is Powell's decision alone that he is not good enough to break into the team - and that his wages could be freed up for better use... It up to Hoyle and Ward WHO he signs for - NOTHING to do with Powell. I know he doesn't cut the grass. Ta.

Leeds have knocked back the Ward rumour, and with powell acknowledging that Ward is one of our few striking options at the moment, maybe all this discussion is a little premature?

As I've put elsewhere Danny Ward, playing out of position often, had 16 goals and assists last season.
Only one player managed more.
Now I'm not Ward's biggest fan, or his biggest critic but credit where its due - For all the stick he got, he performed at a much higher level than most and deserves credit imo.
Has he progressed enough? No
Is it time for him to move on? Yes it probably is - he hasn't progressed enough and with Bunn on the scene he's further down the pecking order. With Bunn he also gives that option for someone upfront which Ward does / had.
With Lolley around (every 1 in 2 months when fit mind), Bunn promising and Scannell's twin brother arrived and Hammill back I can't see how he will get into the side at the moment. Except Lolley is inury prone and has looked good in 10 minute spells, Bunn is in his first full season and hasn't looked quite as sharp - can he last the season, Scannell is on fire but 3 months after 25 months of garbage and who knows what with Hammill except on his day he's our most skilful player and we have few striking options....
Doesn't look like there's a way in for him at first but football is a funny old game.

How can this guy not get in this shower of shite Town team. He and Lolly are the only one's who'd have a go and run at defences. Its a simple game of football made hard by silly tactics that don't work here.

Injuring ones self implies self injury.
If I hit my finger with a hammer, I've injured myself.
If I pull a hamstring, I got injured.

He did more work for Reading than for us. Gave them a cheap corner from almost the half way line because he didn't want to get dirty/hurt. He also did his best at clearing a few of our own crosses with his wayward heading ability. The lad is soft as shit, can't dribble, can't header, can't pass. Where were these chances that only he can create? One of the worst footballers I have seen at Championship level.

The whole team did nothing today, cant do much? Ten goals this season says different, but thats not my point,its you would start ward up front before him,...oh i forgot he got a load of assists last season,i forget how many he scored but 3 in a dead rubber game distorts it sumwhat,i do remember him missing plenty of chances wells would of buried though.

Silly me!! Ta
