Back in training. Come back incredibly overweight....  The club tweeted some pics from training and he didn’t exactly remind me of Mr Creosote. |

I wish I was that “overweight”! Yeah, I wouldn't mind being a stone ahead of him either but to be fair these are professional athletes. Nonetheless, unless there is more evidence besides that one photo (which is inconclusive at best) on Town's social media feed, I think we can safely dismiss the "overweight" claim. |

I notice that the club shop is selling “Town cushions “. Maybe he had one of them stuck up his jumper? |

Do we recon he will hit double figures as the challenge set out by Warnock?

Would the medical teams not have been tracking his weight while injured to stop a situation like this happening? I assume some leeway but he is paid a lot of money so it doesn’t show much professionalism .. Maybe be knows he can shift it quickly and it's not an issue. If not it's totally unprofessional like you say. Paid very well not to stuff his face. Maybe it's BS and he's in fine fettle. Hope so. Seven pounds. Which is a heck of a lot for a 'professional' footballer. |

Seven pounds. Which is a heck of a lot for a 'professional' footballer. Not if he hasn't played, or trained properly for a couple of months. PS: I lost that in less than 3 days a couple of weeks ago, although I don't recommend food poisoning as a diet method 🤢 🤮 . |

Seven pounds. Which is a heck of a lot for a 'professional' footballer. I wouldn’t know, I do know I could lose that pretty quickly myself through diet and light excercise so I’d imagine high intensity training every day would make it quite easy. If the medical staff think it’s an issue though he’ll be fined I guess. |

But I also wouldn't recommend Colitis as a dieting option  |

All the time Warnock was here, folk were questioning his judgment picking Ward every week and wanting Harrat to play instead. Now we can't wait for Ward to get fit and get back on the pitch 🤣

It's like saying Sunak had been our best Prime Minister in the last few years. And yes, people were going mad about his inclusion under Warnock and hilariously begging for Hudlin to start. |

Really looking forward to having him back in the team though! |

He’ll be welcome back! Experienced head and gives Moore more options.

Wonder how many matches though IF he returns to the team before he is injured again .My guess 3.

Desperate times though when a 33 year old injury prone player is literally the only striker on the books capable of doing any kind of job at this level.
If we go down there's no chance anyone else in the Championship would want him at this stage in his career - which kind of tells you the level he's now at as well

I don't remember hardly any dissenting voices at all. Most were happy with the decision. Personally, I wouldn't have given any of them a new contract, Ward, Koroma or Ruffels. Happy to be proved wrong on Koroma as he's really stepped up but Ward should never have got one. |

Yes a massive gamble at his age and the fact that he has always been injury prone. I think Koroma has improved both in attitude and ability this season, but has suffered from not being selected in his best position recently, due to all of the injuries. |

I complained when we brought him back and I was very unhappy to see his contract extended. To be fair we did get one good season out of him. I did state at the beginning of the season that we would see 10/11 games out of Ward and he would be injured for the rest of the season. If I turn out to be right he still has a couple more games to play before he disappears for good. Our DoF must have signed off the deal as well so not just down to Warnock . The same goes for Rhodes, We were supposed to be buying players to develop and sell on at a profit (Dean's plan), but bringing in 30 year old strikers who were past their best just spoke of saving money, no planning involved. |

Now Warnock has gone, certain posters seem to like blaming him for everything. The consensus amongst the fans was that they were happy with Ward getting a new deal. I'm with you, he should never have come back, we've had one good season out of three from him and he wasn't even that good the first time around. It was just laziness from Hodgkinson (wasn't Hoyle's doing as Hoyle refused to sign Ward when Wagner wanted to bring him in back in 2017), signing players to pacify the fans (who fell for it hook, line and sinker), with the likes of Ward and Rhodes coming back. But as the bar is now set incredibly low, you've got fans constantly sticking up for him and making him out to be the saviour and counting down the days until he comes back. These are the same people that were going berserk when Warnock kept picking him literally three months ago. 20 years ago, if we had a striker that scored five goals a season he would be quite rightly branded as SHITE. |

Personally, I wouldn't have given any of them a new contract, Ward, Koroma or Ruffels. Happy to be proved wrong on Koroma as he's really stepped up but Ward should never have got one. I think naively most fans were thinking bloody hell that's a bit risky with his injury record but he'll make a decent squad player because we'll be bringing in some quality additions in the summer. Plus NW is manager for the season and sees him as vital. Same with Ruffles, don't rate him but a decent backup for when we sign a quality LB and NW can get the best out of him. Koroma, risky because you never know what head he'll have on but with NW here for a year he's guaranteed to be one of the championships best wingers as he was last season post NW. That's why there were no complaints at the time. The management have tuned those decisions into foolish ones by getting rid of the man that wanted them. |
