 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

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 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. ------------- Galway Will Win The 2014 Hurling Championship |

| 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. |

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!

I agree. He looked a little bit off colour and their right midfielder had a lot of space near our box a good few times. But then again, nobody was brilliant and it was a very cagey, kick about kind of affair, and I'd still have confidence in him if he was given the nod against Slovakia which to me anyway is a no brainer! I hope he gets to play. I'd feel a lot safer than if Kilbane was there

Ward probably deserves his place v slovakia although i wouldnt be crying if killer got picked over him. A more attacking lb will probably be more suited to the slovakia game as they will probably sit and try and hit us on the counter. Ward's superior pace and attacking ability makes him more suited to the game imo. Still think trap will stick with kilbane though ------------- Galway Will Win The 2014 Hurling Championship |

Stephen Ward (Wolves) Ward enjoyed a breakthrough season with Wolves last year, when he featured in all but four of the club’s Premier League games – including 27 starts. Irish fans will now be hoping that the progress is carried into the international arena over the next few months. Kevin Kilbane, for all his attributes, is not now, never has been and never will be an international class left back. Ward is the man in the best position to take up the mantle. He started three of the end-of-season internationals for Ireland but Kilbane was the trusted lieutenant for the only competitive fixture in June, the win over Macedonia which kept us in a strong position for qualification for Euro 2012. “Zinedine” is long enough outside the Premier League now that he’s got used to life in the lower divisions while Ward, just turned 26, is on the way up. He needs a good start to the season with Wolves so that he can be given the nod by Trap for the final four Euro qualifiers, and the famously conservative Italian is seemingly ready to invest his faith. He said this week, “You saw that we finished last season with Ward. Every year we change things when it is possible to change. When we are certain that a new player gives us confidence and trust then we can change it. We need this situation, we need younger strength.” |

Taken from the Wolves forum Ward – Superb today, I expected Elokobi to get the nod, but Mick clearly got it totally right here. Defended very well, distribution was far better than it can be, including one superb ball to Jarvis in the second half, was good in the air up against Emerton, and linked well with both Jarvis and Hunt. Ward is a far better footballer than he is given credit for. His goal was superbly taken, fantastic technique. Out of the players that we were linked with, or we could have bought this summer for left back, I’m certain not one of them would have played as well as Ward did today. The best player on the pitch. 9/10 MOTM |

Lovely goal from him and my mate who was at the game (wolves fan) said Ward was faultless throughout. Apparently the fans were cheering every time he got the ball need in the closing part of the game. Great to hear, we really need a true successor to Kilbane to step up. Too many people failing to make that final stage.

I tracked him quite a bit last Friday. His positional sense was often quite poor. The Slovakian winger came in three or four times in the first half on his blind side when he was caught ball watching or getting too close to the CB's man. He's a decent tackler, a good header of the ball and generally his distribution is better than what he showed tonight. However, unless he starts learning where to be, he's going to struggle to keep his position for us.

He was all over the shop at times last night. Maybe he was overwhelmed but I’d certainly give the lad the benefit of the doubt and put it down to nerves/ being overwhelmed by the occasion. Mick rates him highly and he’s been doing very well in the EPL over the past year so he is obviously a very decent player. He is still young and inexperienced; he will come good, give him time. ------------- 753 |

Id rather him there than Kilbane all the same 
Personally because we were under so much pressure Dunne & Given wouldnt of had time to talk to Ward & tell him what he should be doing and where he should be more!!!
Against Andorra O'Shea and St Ledger will be back , the game will be played at a much slower pace and we'll be in control hopefully , so im sure Ward will look at tonights game again and put what he didnt do today into practice in the next game....Sure thats what gaining experience is all about and look he's played his part in two clean sheets in two huge games so it cant be all that bad ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Yeah, he was shocking last night with his positioning, and it is easy to say he's rubbish and should be dropped. But I cast my mind back to when Kenny Cunningham started. He was rubbish too, and if I remember correctly was once voted the premiership's worst player....but he went on to be captain!!! I'll give the lad the benefit of the doubt, but I think it is important to get cover in too. Like Clarke for example. Just in case

I still have never seen Wardy as a LB. I know he's been there for Wolves more so than any other position but you have to remember that was never his natural position. He was originally a striker then played out of the left wing, and was even bought as a winger for Wolves until he put in a few good performances deputising at LB. If you ask him where he'd rather play you can be guarenteed he wouldn't say LB.
His positioning was shocking last night and it could have cost us a goal or two which isnt good enough in a game that big. He had a great chance and loads of time to put in a cross in around the 88th minute as well which he ballooned, looked very nervous al night in my opinion. I would be hopeful that Cunningham comes back from injury and straight back into a bit of form because unfortunately for Wardy I think that he is the better option to take over from Killer. ------------- Co-Founder of The Paul McShane Fan Club, Portmarnock Branch |

Nerves got to him big style i think. Some of the criticism he has got has been way ott imo, his distribution was awful last night which is surprising as thats usually his strong point, give him time, 2 clean sheets like, swear we were hammered in both games. He'll come good and his ability to play in 3 or 4 different positions should see him in the squad for years to come. ------------- Bohs Till I Die |

I do agree with you in sentiment about he is a defender therefore 2 clean sheets stands to his credit. Which it does. But unfortunately by going walkies into the box all the time and leaving left full empty, meant McGeady had to track back all the time which severely limited us going forward. So yeah he kept another clean sheet, but at a cost.
Although I have no doubt this has been noticed and will be drilled into him. So I'm sure he will learn from this and grow.

No thanks to Ward, we're writing an obituary for Ward as he was shocking on both games, that was the worst back to back defensive performance I've seen in a long time. I was in favor of him starting but I was wrong, without McGeady putting in a super shift we would have lost. Now we're all tired of Kilbane, he can be liable for a very visible gaffe every 3 or 4 games but that aside he keeps to his position pretty well, is almost never skinned, has plenty of pace, a threat from set pieces and has a decent cross on him. We need a replacement for him as this will be his last campaign but Ward has shown.e is up to it We have three other options for left back. I was really impressed with Stephen Kelly yesterday so I think it might be worth looking at O'Shea at left back in the next game or so, otherwise Clark and Cunningham are our hopes. |

Ward is definitely not the answer for LB. Just watching the Slovakia match after I recorded it and he just makes too many mistakes to justify any starting position. His crossing is absolutely shocking.

Just watched the Russia match and Ward is one of the poorest players I have seen in a green jersey.
His positions sense is terrible. McGeady had to cover him on a few occasions. Even when caught out he didnt appear to care and just jogged back to get into position.
His distribution of the ball would not be accepable at schoolboy level.
Ireland also had a number of good build up's where the final ball into the box was left to Ward and he fooked it up EVERY time.
I would have been one of the ones calling for Ward to be given a chance at Killers expense.
But he is absolutely useless.

Great assist by Ward for Ebanks-Blake's equaliser. Ward supporting Jarvis out wide, Jarvis slightly overhits the pass but Ward keeps it in and delivers an inch perfect pass for Ebanks-Blake (even he couldn't f**k it up). Good game. As I was saying, Ward is doing really well on the left with Jarvis. Hoolahan is having a really good game for Norwich. Hunt missed a sitter earlier on for Wolves but then several minutes later, Ebanks-Blake wasted a chance after selfishly not passing to Hunt, who was in a better position. |

Wolves were robbed, Fat Frank should have walked in the 1st half. ------------- Say nothing till you hear more |

Totally agree, if a Wolves player had of committed that foul, a red card would have been shown. |

good tidy close range finish, very easily could have fluffed it, seen players do it before from that range. had the confidence to strike it first time rather than take a touch which is always good to see.

| Getting ripped a new one by Valencia today. Would make you worry about the summer a little bit. Hopefully his form improves a bit between now and the end of the season |
