The only thing Im unsure of is how good he is with the ball at his feet. His distribution was better than Kelly's, but thays a really low bar and what JBA wants from his keeper is way beyond that.

Be interesting to see what happens.

How JBA wants Ward to play is not the issue here. The problem is Ward's continuing inability to meet one of the fundamental requirements of being a goal keeper, ie catching the ball, how many points does he cost us before he gets benched.

Hi Everyone, Not sure if I am allowed to do this. Due to a bereavement I will not be able to travel to the game. I have 2 x Adult tickets (£52). Happy to sell for £35.

 

I could take one off you if you would sell them one at a time. Sorry for your loss

You're very welcome. I let friends know about the other one but they aren't going up next week. Hope you get it sold - maybe post on pie and bov too?

Oh aye, totally get that.

But if we swap Ox in as a safe pair of hands and he ends up giving goals away because he is shite with his feet and JBA  insists he plays out anyway, we really arent any further forward.

Hopefully he is good enough.....

We can probably live with goalkeeping error now and again but unfortunately that’s 2 games in a row where it’s been a major contributor to loosing points. So the frequency and consequences of the mistakes have put a lot of focus there. Had we not dropped points or had they been a few games apart then perhaps there would not be the same impetus to get Ox back in goals. 
 Personally, I would give Ox a run out but I think JBA will stick with Ward for the Dundee game.

He could now go on a run where he doesn’t make any mistakes for the next 3 months so I’m still happy to let him stay in goals for the next game at least unless JBA has different ideas.
