Great servant for the club. Deserves respect.
Was the victim of a disgraceful penalty award today, but that cannot disguise his liability.
You’ll often find his prints on goal conceded. His passing is atrocious, his footballing nous too. He more often than not is responsible for a move breaking down.
Sentiment does that keep us in the Premier League. We need a better right-back. I would even place a match-fitness lacking Clyne in their until Ferguson is deemed ready to play.

Bad game yes, but he was pretty good in the previous two. He was crap at the end of last season. My own feeling is he's an average squad player and probably shouldn't be playing every game. He's bang in trouble against pacy wingers, and many have pointed out his attacking flaws. He was my favourite player a few years ago. I still think he does a good job. Certainly can't be criticised for lack of effort.

Come on guys,don't blame the man.
After all he's only in there on a temporary basis until we find a replacement for AWB!!!
Blame the management,not the player who's doing his best.
It's either him or .......?

Ferguson will be first choice when fit and Ward will be back up. And we will be fortunate to have such a seasoned pro and great character in the squad.
Today I actually thought was one of his better games in recent times and on the wrong end of a ludicrous decision.

He is an average right back. We are an average team. He is perfect for us.

I predict a plethora of attacking players to aim the ball at a defenders arm or hand as apposed to trying to score by aiming at the goal.Very few,if any 0-0's in the premier league this season.Mr Ward will not be the only defender to wish he was arm less!
stuck up here with a load of northern monkeys!

He has just played 250 games! What utter rubbish to suggest he is or ever has been a liability. Far more reason to focus on his loyalty and determination - both excellent characteristics in a team based sport.

Did you not notice Mitchell was responsible for the first goal for switching off and losing his man, but you decided to slag off Ward instead, just because he was on the end of generally agreed ridiculous hand ball decision.

Didn't expect such a reactionary post after that atrocious VAR/referee decision. Joel Ward isn't good enough for a top half club. He's probably still good enough for us and is never injured.

If you’re having a pop a full back today Imd suggest looking over to the other side. Mitchell switched off for their first and Eze is not offering enough defensive support at times.
Two youngsters though, so there’s time to sort it out.
Vive le Roy!

Solid all round pro and seems like a decent bloke to go with it. Rarely puts a foot wrong.
Still has a few good years in him and hopefully they’ll be with us.

The post clearly states that Ward has been a great servant at the club. His loyalty is not in question. His footballing ability is, however.
If his place in the team is predicated on his character, above his ability, then I’m not surprised you can’t find fault in his performances. I happen to think we should demand more quality from the team.

Nathan Ferguson better be a very very good right as he will need to be to replace Joel Ward,I hope he is but Joel is a great full back and has been for 250 games for Palace, show some respect.

Sure he has had some stinkers at the end of last season, but the 3 games so far he has been solid. Today was a really bad decision against him for the handball.
Even the Everton supporters are stating on their forum they would not be happy with a decision going against them like that.
That bad decision cost Palace and Wardy the game...
