Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[RamboandBruno]

I think the kid deserves a bit of patience.
Saying that i hope he steps up on Sunday

Of course he does. He's a great lad with a high ceiling. He hasn't performed this season to anything like his capabilities though. I also hope he does on Sunday, with a trade mark goal from the edge of the area.

I think back to the Brighton game when he came on, looked like he’d never been away and did the business. That second injury or reoccurrence, has really set him back.
He’s scored in the last two home game against this lot, reckon its time for the return of JJ.

Like Moreno they missed the whole of pre-season and recovering from injury and we have not seen anything like the form they showed last season. Both of them were brilliant on the left hand side for us and added another attacking dimension to our play.

We really could do with those two back on form quickly, hopefully Sunday.

The bit around pre-season always bugs me a bit. I fully get it puts them behind the curve, and in JJ’s case he got injured again which further hampers progress, but I feel like there’s got to be a way of bridging the gap by this stage so that a lack of preseason isn’t a significant hindrance.

By the time you've played half a dozen games, a pre-season or not shouldn't make much difference. If you've trained daily and played in competitive Premier League games, how is that worse than some low intensity rubbish against Walsall with half a team of kids who you're never going to play with again?

I know when I played competitive football, pre-season was all about intense training and not too much football. But then again we were all blokes who liked a pint and once the season finished those five weeks or so were probably very different to a modern day footballer who generally keep themselves in shape and don’t go out on the piss. Maybe not the likes of McCormack and Jack Grealish.

Saying all that, they still seem to be well behind the curve if they miss pre-season for some reason.

Real positive signs today that JJ is getting back to his best. The crucial finish and final touch didn’t quite happen for him, but his driving runs with and without the ball were fantastic at times.

Some lovely link up play with Moreno in the first half too, reminiscent of the back end of last season, he constantly arrived late in the box which is a quality only the best attacking midfielders possess.

Very encouraging performance overall, if he keeps playing like that the goals will come, hopefully a few crucial ones for us in the run in.

Well said, It was the massive positive out of today’s game. His drive gives us a hugely different dimension to our game and lifts everyone else. As he sharpens up even more he’ll be the difference for us in the League but in Europe as well.

Agreed.

All very well but he did not deliver with the final pass or finish.

Yep, really good game today and he looks likes he’s getting up to speed and hopefully finish the season strong.

[PaulWinch again]

Hope so we could do with some players actually hitting some good form now and reversing our weak form.

[tomd2103]

All very well but he did not deliver with the final pass or finish.

To be fair, I think that is probably the last thing that comes when recovering match sharpness.  Thought he was better today, but still not quite there just yet.

[brontebilly]

Correct but our mess of a left flank was vastly improved today and that's down to him. His ability to run with and without the ball is in complete contrast to Tielemans. No surprise it was the best Moreno has played in ages. That touch (never the surest imo) and final pass will come. He can and will score goals.

[Ads]

He was excellent today, just lacking that final pass/shot. But he caused them all sorts of issues.

[Paul.S]

A v good performance from Ramsey today. He’s what we’ve missed and he’ll get better with each game.

[Steve67]

He is clearly rusty as I felt he took the wrong option, failed to sort his feet out, passed the ball too early and was a bit indecisive with the final ball.  Really pleased to get a full game under his belt though as he's a brilliant player and we need his energy and drive.  Sadly, today, he was just a bit undercooked for me.

[Risso]

His running with the ball was better today, his decision making was still way off.

[dorsetvillian]

Getting back to his best and his relationship with Moreno is also getting.back on track.
