alex_ncfc 662 Posted August 9, 2004 Couldn''t get to the match on Saturday, but was wondering how Ward performed in goal? Also I see Joe Lewis came on towards the end, how did he do, or was there not really enough time to make a judgement?I notice just to worry us, on the official site''s squad listing they''ve made the mistake of giving Darren Ward the number 1 shirt just below Greeno. At least I hope it''s a mistake!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted August 9, 2004 Ward had a very promising start, Alex, he looked very sound. He coped well with a fierce long-range shot that was goalbound in the first half, and looked good on crosses as well. He is very vocal in marshalling his defence - he must have been the loudest person in the ground! He will certainly push Gallagher for the number two spot.

Stephen Frys Evil Twin 0 Posted August 9, 2004 He pulled off one good save, that was all he had to do. Was unfortunate for the free kick as he had gone to the post to arrange his wall, something that Greeno never does mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Doc 0 Posted August 10, 2004 I felt Darren looked a little ropey occassionally particularly in the first few minutes when he failed to pick up an early cross which was thankfully put wide. On the whole it was a good performance from a player who''d only just arrived at the club. I was impressed with young Jo Lewis who was looking really quite strong and confident given his age.
