Jacob Ramsey

[Monty]

Starts tonight. Good luck lad!

[Legion]

Yes. Would have liked to have seen Bridge and Archer given an opportunity from the subs bench as well but think Smith has decided that Ramsey is the one to develop in the first team.

Poor tonight.

[Legion]

Not great at all but better than Lansbury and AEG who are/were awful.

[villadelph]

He's a teenager playing against Stoke.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought he was decent in the first half but got bullied out of it in the 2nd half. Was the right call to take him off.

[dcdavecollett]

Did one brilliant turn in the box before the break that nearly led to a goal.

At the moment, he seems to run out of steam just after the hour mark.

I played better than AEG and Angela.

Resurrecting this one a bit to point out that he's been included as the 26th player on the official squad photo the club put out earlier. Good lad, i hope we see more of him this season.

Man, these photocalls get later each year! Used to love when Match or Shoot included them as poster pull-outs every August. Those and the free team-trackers and fixture lists ramped the excitement into overdrive. 

I seem to remember having a massive Nottingham Forest squad poster on my wall (may have been Clough's last season) so starved I was of TV coverage of the Villa. I even had a  poster of Southampton journeyman Glenn Cockerill hung-up there.

Despite clearly being in the Villa way, my 8 year old brain seemed to think that any posters in these magazines were fair game to be adorned in bedrooms regardless of your actual team. It was enough to celebrate the beautiful game, one in which there was even room for Glenn Cockerill.

Good days! There would often be a late signing who would be added in a square in the top corner, normally still in the kit of the team he’d left.

...and those league ladders from Shoot! magazine. I had loads of em and always left Villa at the top. One year it was genuine!

[itmustbe_it is!]

Loved the League Ladders. Spent hours on a Sunday morning updating them after the previous days games. these days you'd have to do it every day

Cutting out pictures 1 to 11 of the team on your wall , loved it

[tony scott]

I can’t understand why he can’t get on the bench would be ideal to replace Barkley IMO

[pelty]

Would prefer to see Ramsey given an opportunity. We know what we get with Hourihane and it is distinctly "meh."
