I'd have thought so to be honest, Dibs. He was a waste of space at Spotland as well, apparently.

[CAPSLOCK]

He'll be playing for Scrapheap FC with Eaves and Ward in a couple of years

Yep - and though it will be no consolation - a feckin sight better than me... (Less than hopeless land)...

Though I hope he defies the odds with the David Platt moment...

[Prufrock]

Ward is roughly a billion times better than Tope. Not seen a minute of Eaves so can't comment. Ward is worse case a David Norris decent career league 1/champ standard.

My uncle's a Shrews supporter. He was thoroughly underwhelmed by Temitope, saying he wasn't really anything much better than they already had, and although he often got himself into fairly decent positions he lacked seriously on the final ball. I'd say that yes he's almost certainly no future with us based on that. All the best to him, I hope for his sake he's a 'late bloomer' as it were, but it doesn't look like he'll ever be good enough for us.

Coyle looking to loan Ward to Championship again.

DANNY Ward has been told he can go out on loan for the last three months of the season, so long as Owen Coyle’s current strikeforce stays fit.

The highly-rated 19-year-old has had a frustrating season to date after being forced to return from a spell at Coventry City with a hernia problem in October that required surgery.

The striker has since made progress in the reserve team despite problems with his hamstring, and he suffered another minor setback in midweek when he hobbled out of the second string’s 3-2 victory over Manchester City.

Coyle has been pleased with the progress made by the former Leeds United trainee, but with first-team striker quartet Kevin Davies, Ivan Klasnic, Daniel Sturridge and Johan Elmander currently ahead of Ward in the queue, the manager is considering his next move.

“He has been looking sharp, as have all the kids, and all credit to John Henry,” said Coyle.

“You go and watch them now and they are exciting to watch, and that’s the hard work John is doing with them.

“Danny is exciting and a talented player.

“And if I feel, in the last couple of months of the season, it would be best served for him in the Championship to continue his development, then that’s what we will do.

“He took a knock against City but it’s too early to talk about that now.

“However, in the next couple of weeks, it’s fair to say that if I can retain all my striking options we have, then it will be fair for Danny’s development for him to continue that on loan in the Championship.”

Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies and Leeds United’s Simon Grayson have been spotted in the stands in recent weeks at reserve team games, while League One side Swindon Town – for whom Ward was a massive hit during a loan spell last season, helping them into the play-offs – have also maintained a watchful eye.

It's a shame that he got injured at Coventry because if he had the first few months of the season there, I think he would be ready to at least be on our bench by now. Let's hope he can stay fit this time.

Ricardo Gardner made his Preston North End debut at left-back and played 84 minutes in their 2-1 loss to Leeds United. He almost had a night to forget when he tried to chest the ball back to Lonergan but Paynter nipped in and almost scored.

[t_o_molloy]

Ricardo Gardner played 90 minutes for Prestonand was Man of the Match as they beat Scunthorpe 3-0

Danny Ward came on as a half time substitute and played on the left of a front 3 as Huddersfield Town beat Brentford 1-0.
