Jacob Ramsey

[eye digress]

After a solid performance versus Young Boys, Jacob was a bit average I thought on Saturday - like quite a few players, obviously, in the first half. He doesn't yet seem to be at peak fitness, so isn't driving forward with his usual elan.

He seemed to be a bit narked to be hooked too, and not for the first time this season. Hope there's nothing significant in that.

They all need to get used to being subbed off , like Watkins and McGinn are too. Very much about squad management this season

Maybe he was narked with his own performance and not the management for subbing him off.
I thought he was really on it early in the game and was only being managed by Wolves by tactical fouling. And a pretty rough arsed tackle deep into Wolves territory.

You're probably right.

Just struck me as JJ has always been such a good lad/model pro for us. Maybe he's also feeling a bit left out of the Rogers-Duran bromance.

It'll play havoc with the fantasy football points but it is going to be necessary this season.

I think all the players taken off were a bit narked as we were actually starting to get on top, and they probably felt deprived of the opportunity of being part of a comeback that was looking on the cards.

But this is part of being in a squad like we have now.  A sub-par 45 minutes, and you're like to find yourself replaced.  Even if you're not playing badly, there is competition on the bench, at, or close to, your level.

That's exactly how I see it. And if they don't like being subbed, play a bit better.

We've got 18-20 players now, many of whom are of similar quality who will expect to be involved in each match. It's what we need to become champions.

Is the right answer.

Being a local lad he may have been narked as we was losing to Wolves and playing shit.

[Footy-Vill]

Felt for JJ when he had to go off against Bayern.
Such bad fortune for him.
Seemed to injury himself stretching for the ball.

[Demitri_C]

He seems very injury prone these days

[Brend'Watkins]

As soon as he stretched for that ball near the touch line I thought, tweaked groin. He is annoyingly injury prone though.

[ChicagoLion]

He is no where near the player he was. Just hope he will not be forever blighted with injuries and  fulfills his potential.

Any update on his, onana and Bailey’s fitness?
