Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[Matt C]

I feared the worst when he got that knock about 60 seconds after coming on but thankfully he shock it off. Made a difference to the midfield - we’ve missed him.

[OCD]

I think we all did.

[VillaTim]

Didn't look good at the time. Glad he got up and could have grabbed a goal too.

[Astnor]

Great to have him back, did some of the good play we ve seen from him before but wasnt fully up to speed, did seem to take it a bit easy like withdrawing form going for it in tackles - understandable.

[Brend'Watkins]

So good to have him involved again and he looked well up for it. Start him during the week to help with his match fitness is what I’d do.

[Aldridge Villa]

Made a real difference today. We were constantly defending first 10 minutes of second half with no outlet in sight. One drop of the JJ shoulder and a 30 yard carry changed all that . Keep up the good work.

Yes, we were struggling to get out of our own half for the first 10 minutes or so of the second half. Had Brighton made it 3-2, I think the result may have been very different.

One thing JJ doesn't get a lot of credit for is his defensive work. Probably the main reason Unai brought him on when Brighton were bossing the game and getting back into the game.

He makes such a difference to the way we play. His game was maturing towards the end of the season and it's great to see that he's not playing as though he's been out for a few months. That maturity is still there. Once he's played himself back into 90 minute match fitness, our left side will look so much stronger.

[London Villan]

Also allows SJM to play on the right. Really important to have him back.

[itmustbe_it is!]

If he played for Man Shitty or Spuds he'd have been in the English squad for a year. But selfishly the longer Southtwat ignores him the better as far as Villa concerned.

[colin69]

Great goal today, even Southgate won’t be able to ignore him for much longer when he’s fully fit.

[dcdavecollett]

Southgate is probably waiting for JJ to join a Big Club, then he will "see the improvement in his game" then he'll pick him.

Tw*t!!

[Beard82]

On TNT they said something along the line of "Southgate is of course a former Villa Captian, so he always gets a warm welcome when he cames to Villa Park"

Punditry is so bad

[dcdavecollett]

They live on another planet, don't they?

Tw*t!!

The longer he stays away from the England set up the better.
