I would add Aliu, Byron and Nemisz as guys that looked out of place and Street added nothing but took nothing away so I guess he is even not good/not bad.

I wouldn't say Byron has looked out of place. He hasn't been a difference maker but he's always involved. His size is what does him in. Aliu has also looked okay but I don't think he can keep it up when the adrenalin wears off after a few games. Nemisz has been progressing judging by his last call up. He was no longer a tourist and was getting involved in the play. He's not ready for full time but I wouldn't give up on him.
My biggest beef with Ward is his handling of Irving. The other thing I don't understand is moving Horak to the wing when we need centres but that may have come from higher up. I guess the thing with Ward is, is he having success. I don't think he is considering he has some good players.
