Defo. That's not even giving him his dues as it wouldn't be hard for him to be our most improved player given how bad he was a few years ago. He is immeasurably better now and I have to say that as one of the people criticizing him, he has made me eat my words. He's doesn't resemble Paolo Maldini in his pomp but Ward is a good solid option at left back at the moment and has been for the last year or so. Long may his improvement continue.

I was of the thumbs down brigade when he got the nod in the past,but I think its fair to say he's
first choice LB now on merit. Credit where its due.

I thought Friday might well have been his best appearance for Ireland tbh. He's obviously a fairly limited footballer but he's really grown into that position over the past 18 months or so. It's particularly impressive when you consider he started out as a striker - his defensive instincts have really improved.

That's often forgotten by most. Getting consistent football in the one position at club level over a prolonged period has been of huge importance for his improvement. One of the few guaranteed starters now v Austria.

Agreed & I'd be a big critic of his too. Did very well on Friday, needs to keep doing it now

Looks a real senior pro now. Been very impressed by his temperament and consistency in the past 18 months. Glad that is allows us to use Brady further up the pitch

Hes def a player that has improved a lot. If he could just use the ball a little bettter in a green shirt we would be laughing.

Yep, not a chance with his consistency for Burnley. Hes not just going to outright replace him with a relatively inexperienced youngster. Wardy is soon to be 32, Id imagine Dyche sees Taylor as his long term replacement and will ease him in and eventually reduce Ward to the bench as back up. |

Taylor is a very talented left-back, but I'd agree that the position is Wards to lose.

will see, but wouldn't be so confident
experienced...mm, made over 90 appearances for leeds and is 23 id say he could have went to alot higher calibre clubs to sit on the bench for league cup games Edited by Citizen - 07 Jul 2017 at 3:11pm |

Ward was one of Burnleys best players last season. Some people on here wont give the lad any credit no matter how well he plays.

It's alright giving him credit but Burnley have signed a decent left back and he will have a tough battle on his hand keeping his starting spot. |
