I woke up to a text from my Forest supporting mate here in the midlands this morning which said “JWP ruined my weekend” followed by the W word, which brought a smile from me despite my having had a soft spot for yesterday’s opposition down the years since Brian Clough. I know how the lad must have felt because world class Hammer Ward-Prowse was monumental – very much a David Moyes signing by the way, so lots of credit where it is due. He truly is a game changer. But for him it would have been a very different game indeed yesterday, Instead he took his assists for the season to nine and turned on a display of serious ability. It is hard to understand – as stated by many others why Gareth Southgate continues to ignore him.
World class Ward-Prowse
Alan Shearer had a slightly different way of describing the midfielder than my pal Chris 🙂 when claiming that he had been the best player in the world at delivering set pieces. He discussed the No 7 on BBC2’s Match of the Day and said: “James Ward-Prowse is world class. He is the best around and has been for a long time.
