Big trouble if we're missing him. Don't feel confident with Hennessey or Davies in goals

"Danny Ward has a dislocated finger." (Leicester City Correspondent at @bbcradio Leicester Sport)
It highlights how much work there is to do in order to develop our goalkeeper room at international level - after years of being fairly settled with Hennessey, Ward plus one other - but hey-ho, something more to contend with.

Skip to 0:52 seconds, and then also watch the last goal You cannot tell me that if Ward had put up that feeble of a save attempt for the one at 0:52 that there wouldn't be tons of comments on social media criticising him. As far as I can see tonight no one has commented on it online, and honestly that's a way worse error than anything Ward has done this season Also for the last goal he gets beaten on his near side for a free kick. Something else most GKs get slated for. Still no clean sheet for Iversen and he's letting in way more goals per game than Ward www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQbxux6UlAk&ab_channel=SkySportsPremierLeague |

Ward hasn't been helped by having such a desperate defence in front of him at Leicester, it's just a complete shambles there, however his overall form has been poor for them and us.

I reckon personally it'll be touch and go for DW to be fully recovered by mid-June. A dislocated finger can often take a fair while to mend properly.
Meanwhile, I wonder how Leicester will get on tonight at Newcastle. Should be a close-fought game, with both sides needing the points (for different reasons).

As it went both teams seemed happy with a 0-0. Confirmed CL for Newcastle, and kept Leicester in the race in a game they probably earmarked for 0 points |

Damning write up on BBC about Leicester City’s season and Danny Ward doesn’t come out in a good light. Other than Maddison and possibly one or two others, there’s not many Leicester players who come out of this season with any credit. Ndidi and Tielemans didn’t appear to even try in the last third of the season. More to the point, Iverson coming in for Ward barely improved anything. |

Damning write up on BBC about Leicester City’s season and Danny Ward doesn’t come out in a good light. It seems to miss out on the following: - Transfer record success turns to failure. The club that signed likes of Mahrez, Kante as well as older contributors like Fuchs and Huth in the year before winning the title spent the next few years massively over-spending on likes of Ahmed Musa, Islam Slimani, Iheanacho, Adrien Silva, Söyüncü, Patson Daka. - Brendan Rogers had done a good but not great job in achieving the FA Cup while missing out on 4th place twice, but he's a manager who has less of an impact over time and had lost energy to improve things. Not helped by how expensive a contract he was on so couldn't be easily replaced. - Reluctance to accept player power when pushing for moves meant Fofana went to Chelsea for good price but much later in the season than desired. Not much time to work replacements. - Bad defence at start of the season over-exposing Ward who was not quite as good as we'd like him to be. Less than average midfield over-exposing the defence. Bad attack not scoring enough goals to make up for it. - Lack of football structure which meant Brendan Rogers was effectively DoF and manager. Reduces number of managers interested in the job when good replacement needed. - Jamie Vardy's magic is starting to fade. I think Brendan Rogers has come out of that article far better than he deserves. |

Ndidi and Tielemans didn’t appear to even try in the last third of the season. More to the point, Iverson coming in for award barely improved anything. Iversen conceded more goals per game than Ward (Ward 1.77-1.83 Iversen), had less clean sheets than Ward (Ward 6-1 Iversen), and less clean sheets per game than Ward (Ward 0.23-0.08 Iversen). The only stat where Iversen is slightly ahead is save percentage (Ward 63%-66% Iversen), but there's barely anything in that at all I'd conclude that there is zero evidence that Iversen improved anything, and I'd go as far as saying Iversen has not performed better than Ward |

Leicester have a desperate defence conceding more goals from set pieces than any other team, Rodgers never dealt with the problem despite this happening from early season, and Ward never looked comfortable with what he had in front of him so it was no surprise Smith tried the alternative in Iversen who didn't impress either.
Rodgers though is well liked in footy circles including the media and will find another job this summer no doubt.

Bit of a predicament re: goalies. Weakest department, with no one on the horizon. Do we go back to Wayne (don't know), or do we continue with the younger Ward and hope he can erase the errors?

What I will say apart from Czech’s away and Iran World Cup I can’t remember Ward or Hennessey having an absolute nightmare. We just need someone coming through on the horizon. You never know. There’s no obvious name but Welsh football and specially North Wales can throw a keeper out of no where. Lets see

Ward strikes me as a kinda 6 out 10 kinda keeper. The type that’s ok behind a solid defence but struggles when exposed too often.

With Ward and Hennessey - they both seem slow to react when the ball is struck at pace into the corner. With Hennessey he seems to have difficulty getting low quickly and with Ward - he seems to have problems throwing himself across the goal quickly. You would think Ward, especially given he is younger, can improve, but with him you have hard shots smashed in the corner from outside the box and his hand just seems to get nowhere near them.
They are both weak for international standard unfortunately - almost every team we come up against (bar the minnows) seem to have more assured options! Really strange we seem to be struggling on both the striker and goalkeeper front in recent years!

First goal probably should have come for the cross for the first goal, could do nothing about the second. Three centre backs should be stopping that cross reaching a Turkish head though, again, poor.

Good penalty save but his hands are like Play Do. The second goal went straight through his hands. Very very weak goalkeeping |

I think your opinion is harsh, it would have been a fantastic save if he'd kept it out. I thought he had a good game overall. |
