God we miss Stephen Ward

[joey13]

10 winless got nothing to do with half the team being out injured or more than half of those games being against some of the biggest and richest clubs in the world.

Taylor has improved week on week and last few games especially he has been one of our best players.

I love Ward but I'd say we have missed Lowton just as much if not more than Ward during this period.

It's hard to think that we would have not picked up at least one win during that period if we would have seen Lowton play the kind of football he did in the second half last Saturday. He completely transformed the game and the way we play. He got forward more and combined better with our winger in 45 minutes than Bardsley did in 2 months.

Bardsley was excellent at Bournemouth

Taylor in the man c and Man U games was magnificent,possibly our mom in both great signing.

I should think Sean being Sean, that when fit Ward will have to bide his time, just as Lowts did. It's a bonus that there is no need to rush him back as Taylor is doing so well. That said, for his experience and effort and winning mentality I'd prefer Ward. Taylors chance is coming, I'm sure he'll go on to be a legend for us

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

Lowton was a bigger miss IMO.

Can’t say I remember Taylor putting a foot wrong in all honesty.

[Spijed]

I'd even go as far to say that in the wide areas we are now stronger in having Lennon as opposed to Robbie Brady. He looks a better player.

I love Ward but I've been extremely impressed with Taylor. A little rusty at first which was to be expected but you can tell there is a good footballer in him. He's a young lad with loads to learn who appears to have a great attitude. What a fantastic position to be in when we have two cracking left backs at the club.

[Top Claret]

Taylor is growing in confidence by the match and he is really making the No 3 spot his.
I like Ward and we really missed him, but I feel Taylor is now coming on leaps and bounds.
No way will Ward walk back into this team, the way Taylor is now playing, he will take some shifting

[Cleveleys_claret]

Think Ward will be one like Heaton who will walk back into the team when fit. As Dyche said in this weeks interview "Wardy has credit in the bank" relating to his performances in the past

[warksclaret]

Don't think he will walk back in. SD is very loyal-look at Bardsley who recently has not been as good as Taylor. I think Bardsley got injured Saturday and Lowton came on and took his chance well. Otherwise Bardsley would have kept his position

[FactualFrank]

Don't think he will walk back in.

Agreed. It's Taylor's shirt to lose and for Ward to win back.
Pope won't lose his place either when Heaton comes back, unless he does something significantly wrong.

[tiger76]

Amazing that an England International(Heaton) is not an automatic 1st choice for us shows the progress we have made.

[gandhisflipflop]

I said when Taylor signed he will go on to play for England he is that good. Nothing yet has swayed me from this opinion.
