OK would you take him back? 31 now and has hardly played for Blackburn recently. Could possibly be the power house defender we need.

No.

Next question.

Never saw Elliot Ward as a powerhouse to be quite honest.

Haven't seen him play for years so no idea what his game is like the days.

 

[MAFF]

Although he can score penalties..

 

[chiefdave]

Not seen him play for years but I would say no unless he's got a lot better than when he was here before.

Apart from that one he chipped into the keepers hands. Can't remember who it was against though!

Southampton I think, shittest penalty I have ever seen.

 

[hamil99]

I always thought he had the ability but not the know how. At 31 I would think he would be a little wiser, specially as he has played at a higher level than we have been in recent times. Don't get me wrong it would be a total punt in the dark but I feel it could be a good one.

Am I right in thinking he was our last million pound player?

I think Eastwood was after him wasn't he?

I remember that. We won 4-1 though iirc. So it mattered not. It was a passback tbf.

Absolutely have him back if fit.
Can nt see Tony wanting him tho as he was a defender who played the ball out as opposed to just clearing it.
Won me a fair few quid when he was here with his penalties. I bet on him several times at 16/1 , great odds for
a penalty taker.

I'd rather we went back to Bournemouth or Saints and tried to get either Cargill or Stephens back on a year loan.

Can't see either of them breaking into their respective first teams, a year with us would be great for either of them.

 

[vow]

Older, perhaps even wiser, I'd have him back.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Why don't we buy Callum Davenport while we are at it

Were they really 'that's good?
Both looked out of their depths imo and very raw , I would rather have someone or two with a lot more experience , especially as we look likely to have a back 3

 

[Captain Dart]

Possibly he is a better footballer than we've got and we need some experience at the back, but I'd first question why he has only played 14 games in the last season and only 3 the season before that?

Straight out of the Harry Hill book of penalty taking. Probably my fondest memory of euro 2016.

He came on as sub especially to take a pen too!

What a tool.

Of all the players we had last season that are no longer here I'd want to see Stephens come back more than any of the others. Thought he had an ok start but then grew into a player that looked a class above.

We could do with a penalty taker

Not a big fan of his attitude

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

I still have nightmares about that penalty.
His arrogance thinking he was skilful enough to do that was breathtaking.Hes a clogging conference level CB, though he has played at the highest level, he was soon found out and relegated to the reserves.
A massive NO from me

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Not going to happen not the hard and nasty centre back TM seems to like

 

[KG7]

He was shite

Purely on missed penalties last season, Ward would have put us in Play Off position!

 

[KG7]

What about his missed headers or misplaced confidence? How many points would that have lost us?

I wasn't his biggest fan but always thought if he would grow up and get the basics right he might have been half decent.

Haven't seen him play in a long while so not sure if he will have done so or no.

Plus, I think he'd want to play more football out of defence than Martin did, and Mowbray didn't like Martin so not sure Ward would be on his radar for that reason

 

[rupert_bear]

Do we really have people on here who wouldn't have him on the strength of a missed penalty, bizzare !

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Haven't read through this thread but didn't TM say Martin was released as he wasn't physical & dominant enough?

Replacing Martin with Ward would be like wanting a Alsatian but having a Labrador & swapping it for a cockapoo (that can take a penalty, in that case get yourself on Britains got talent!)

Is that the best comeback you've got? Every player in the world misses headers and has misplaced confidence ffs! ONE missed penalty! How many did he score??? Even the best penalty taker(Ron Farmer) missed one penalty.

I know it's hot today but Chill Phil. It wasn't a comeback it was a question. A couple of penalty kick conversions would be welcomed for sure, but the advantages of these would be far outweighed by his ridiculous self belief that he is a fat Franz Beckenbauer reborn in the championship and the continued mistakes that this inspires

Hurrah, another thread mentioning a former player. Why is everybody so obsessed with bringing ex players back?

The point is KG7. Penalties missed this season equates to 7 points being lost. Which would eventually have left us with 75 points...Comfortably in a play off spot!.... Like Ward or not, He would have scored those penalties. BTW. I'm not advocating bringing him back to CCFC. I'm making a valid point on his penalty taking, nothing more
