Ward enjoys home comfortsBy Miguel Delaney Wednesday, August 10, 2011 WHEN Jack Charlton first took over the Irish squad, he realised there was an immediate problem for team spirit. As
soon as training finished in Dublin, the Irish-born boys would
immediately depart for all corners of the country to visit their
families — which left the English natives "twiddling their thumbs". Irish Examiner

Spot on....
He's proved himself in the EPL , now lets hope Trap trusts him at LB when the qualifiers come around

Agreed. 5th good game for Ireland in a row. He's already had more good games for Ireland than Kilbane.
I'm exaggerating but my point stands. Everyone has seen enough to know that Ward should start next month. |

If he changes is surname to Kilbane he will be a banker to start!

Right now he is the closest thing we have to a natural left back in the squad so really should get the nod at least against slovakia. I think he impressed Trap tonite meself

If he played well tonight and was MOTM then Trap needs to be strongly considering him as a starter from now on, no excuses lads, if he is proving his worth then he should be starting.

He would be my choice at lb. Forms a good partnership with hunty which is no doubt helped by them playing at the same club. McGeady will prob be in for hunt though against slovakia but that shouldnt hinder wards performance.

He shud be lb against Slovakia. That was the case before tonite, and it certainly is the case now. I reckon its a 50/50 call now. Trap has a decision to make. I think he has been given a welcome selection headache and he appeared pleased that Ward stepped up to the mark tonight. He's been noncommittal in his remarks about Kilbane this week, but its still a 50/50 call I'd say. Trap makes a lot of his decisions based on what he sees on the training ground and imo he'll make the call about lb at the last possible moment.

As much as I love Wardy, I thought he was poor tonight.
Good few slack passes and caught of position a few times. Very good in the air though and two good clearences off his far post. Seemed to drop deep a bit when Croatia had the ball out wide and let St Ledger press(dunno if that was tactics or not) Interesting to see who will start against Slovakia. Can't see Wardy playing away to Russia so expect to see Kilbane in for the two. Edited by JH91 - 10 Aug 2011 at 10:47pm |

I didnt think he had a great game this evening, gave the ball away and got caught out a few times. However a lot of the Irish team played sloppy which maybe down to match fitness. |

Defensively V solid which is the 1st priority for your back line,
But V poor in possession and going forward, keane screaming at him to overlap a few times id like to see more of clark in that position in the premier league |

At best, little more than a 50/50 call over Kilbane, which is disappointing.
Of all the candidates Wilson has the best potential for us at LB, but the little fecker needs to start showing up uninjured!
