Morning all, Bolton fan in peace here.

What's your guys views on Danny Ward?

Any good for the future, he's done well for our reserves, and got a chance in a few games early this season.

I'll not bother asking about Tope, had hear he wasn't one of your favourites  :D

Oh and great result last night, nothing better than seeing Dirty Leeds get turned over having had to live there for 4 years....

Cheers

Top quality.

Played a blinder last night.

Tope was shit.

Ward is getting better and better each game. Played out of his skin last night, performance well beyond his years. And nice to see loan players who give it their all despite in not being "their" club (Ferry as well comes into this category) - he should have a great future

Tope wasnt terrible.  All pace and tricks but no end product.  Often fooled himself with his speend and tricky.

Danny is a deiferent matter.  We're playing him on the left wing and he's excelling himself.   Fast, good use of the ball and good shot on him as well.

Im sure we'd be happy to take him off of your hands!

youre not having him back.

ps if that mcginley shows his face up there, hit it with a shovel.

He's also a lot more willing to track back and cover the full back than Tope (or McNadwarf)

Thought he had a fine game last night, only criticism was that he didn't push up on their full back when the front two were pressing, giving them an easy outlet on occasions - might have been told to lay back though.

Tope was like a poor mans Faustino Asprilla on a good day, and a poor mans Paolo Wanchope on a bad day. He's OK, but I cant see much comming of him.

After the other loans we have had from Bolton I was starting to wonder if your youth set up was a massive waste of money. But this lad Ward has got it. He battles hard, good shot. Still looks like a surfer though.

Cheers fella's

His work rate for a loan player is excellent too. :)

Superb effort last night. He has improved each game and would it be quality for us to have him for the rest of the season. I think he has also highlighted how over rated Macnamee was, and that there are goals to come from him should we be able to keep him.

I think we can only have him for 1 more month as he has already been here 2 months and it cannot be extended into a until end of season type loan

 :(

Firstly, I dont think Tope was bad as most people made out.

HOWEVER

the clear and main difference between topi and Danny Ward is their brain.

Topi is an athlete Bolton are trying to coach into a footballer. Ward is a footballer Bolton are trying to coach into a better footballer.

Topi would get the ball and run at defenders, he'd look dangerous doing it but as a fan you never knew what he was going to do, the defenders never did and I dont think he did most of the time either.

Ward reads the game really well, he makes better runs off the ball, he is more aware of whats around him. He does the basics very well. His positional sense is good and so is his tracking back.

I guess having had McNamee on our left for so long, its something us fans really notice right now.

His ball retention is good, looks comfortable on the ball, solid when defending and dangerous in attack.

Cant we just let his 2nd months loan expire, then sign him up on a season long loan?

Didn't realise he was only 18. I think I have socks older than him. Probably.

Anyway its all been said really, he's doing the business. And the fact he's playing out of position whilst doing it is all the more impressive..


Can't you be an aggressive Bolton fan. Then I could ask you to twat Gartside for his silly views on league structure and also kick waaaanker John McGuinley in the nuts :)

Didn't Ward come here as an emergency loan? If so, the most he can stay is 3 months - so another 1 month extension. Unless we sign him for the rest of the season before the transfer window closes on Monday, like I'm assuming we did with Sheehan.

Ward and Austin have completed Wilson's jigsaw.

Will Ward be here for the Norwich clash? If he is I think we'll be able to stake a claim as the best team in the league.

The bloke behind me reckoned Ward was shite!Oh,and Amankwah.TBBM was a little ray of sunshine on an otherwise gloomy night!

Heh! heh!






socks 8)

Can we keep him please? As a natural striker he's been very good on the left. His crosses are pretty good and he has a bit of skill and pace and he can shoot. Was superb last night as others have said. Defended well too.

If we don't manage to keep him until the end of the season, we need a lefty in pretty sharpish. Kanu would fit the bill...

Agreee. If he cant stay then we definatley need a left winger with o,brien being too injured/crap to play.

To be fair to o'brien he isn't crap , but your other statment is true he's as frail as an 80 yr old women

Cheers again!

For what it's worth it'd be a damn site more beneficial to let him stay on at you guys all season, I'm not convinced he'll get anything but reserves for us this season given the fight we have ahead of us.

I'll pass on all the regards to Gartside and Super John  ;)

TOWN are hopeful of securing the services of loanee Danny Ward until the end of the season.

The teenage Bolton forward has excelled on the left wing in the last couple of games, as he continues to settle into life at the County Ground during his two-month temporary spell.

And Swindon boss Danny Wilson told the media this lunchtime he was optimistic of keeping Ward until May, and that a deal could be struck in the next 48 hours.

Just to back up what Dell said.

Fucking excellent news. Ward is quality.

RS have just reported that a deal has already been struck and Ward will be with us until the end of the season

Brilliant news!

Marvellous stuff. His attitude on the pitch seems spot on.

I hope so. We don't want to unbalance the team at this stage of the season. Hopefully the first 11 will stay clear of injuries as we're still light in a few positions.

I think he could be destined for big things. Has the right attitude which seems to escape other youngsters who drop to our level.

Bloody marvellous ! I got a feeling this kid will get better and better as the season goes on.  :w00t:

This is fantastic news, lets hope we can avoid injuries

Lets hope Bolton go down, Gartside looks a cunt and we get Wardy from a fellow championship side for peanuts from a club worried about the ending of their parachute payments with a team full of overpaid averageness.

Someone told me today that he was released by Leeds aged 16...not sure about that but would be a good reason he looked up for it the other night..was superb.

I read Bolton took him from Bradford, when he was in their youth side.

yes he was at leeds before joining bolton.

No, they got him from Leeds.

Deal till EOS confirmed on Bolton's O/s. Smashing news!

Excellent news, if we can get one of Richie or Caddis as well it'll be a good day.
