The Official "Right All Along" Thread

didn't MM choose to take stearman on loan to Ipswich, who kept a load of clean sheets after he joined their defence? wasn't SS a crap manager who didn't have a clue? didn't DS drop ward from LB as soon as he could find a replacement?

just checking

Correct GB. We agree on everything.

Maybe McCarthy has finally got Stearman to stop making the stupid mistakes that bedevilled his Wolves career. Good managers can do that.

The link up play between Ward and Sako was just about the only effective link between defence and attack in Solbakken's team and was a factor in Sako's success when all other attacking players were struggling to get into the game in Stale's style. But I know you dont rate Ward.

Saunders dropped Ward, Foley and Berra. Did our defensive record improve one bit as a result?

Its also worth noting, with regards to Ward, that his quality has not dropped at all and he has been very very consistant......hence he is a lock when it comes to playing left back for Ireland.............''WHAT?!?! not even in the squad anymore, thats just cannot be true??''

What difference does that make cinci. You have been slating Ward for years so what difference has him dropping out of the Irish squad made to your opinion. I have felt that left back has not one of the major weaknesses in our team. I know a lot of people disagree with that. But I think central midfield, right back, central defence, right of midfield and even striker positions have been bigger problems for us. I have never said I think Ward is a star or a top class left back just that he hasn't been one of the main weaknesses in our team. And he is the only defender we have that actually brings the ball out of defence and passes the ball constructively.

But you and many others have had your wish and seen the likes of Ward and Berra removed from our back 4. Has it improved our defense at all? I don't think so

Well I would guess that no league side in the country has conceded more goals than us over the last two seasons, so forgive me if I don't get teary eyed over these two being dropped of late

Just a shame it was these two that got left out rather than Johnson who is the main weakness in our defence and in our dressing room

Be fair, lads. Cinci needs a scapegoat, and had to switch to somebody once Keogh had gone. It might as well be Ward as anyone else.

Liked keogh bute, and henry and stearman if your counting.......just know ward is a terrible defender.

We could drop any of them dj, all equally pitiful but agree on rj being the cancer.

Defenders are like managers cinci...

there's no point in dropping them unless you've got a better replacement available.

Otherwise you leave yourself open to the possibility of a plummet.
