Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[Footy-Vill]

Poor first half but a couple of his trademark surging runs second half.

I thought out of all midfielders he was only one to show anything first half granted we've seen better but in context of team play and attempt to go forward Ramsey was only one first half even thinking that from the midfield

[ChicagoLion]

Still not doing enough with and without the ball.

[Risso]

He looked a bit better after we'd scored, but I agree, he's miles away from what he's capable of.

[brontebilly]

When he goes on those runs I just think, why don't you do that more often? There's so much talent in there somewhere.

He seems better suited to counter attacking football. But I thought he was decent throughout today. Expected him to do better with that shot and I think he could have played (I think it was) Buendia clean through that time.

[Smirker]

I think this is his level and the first half of last season was just a purple patch for him.

Hope I'm wrong.

[eamonn]

It can't be. That ability as a midfielder to drive at defences is rare and he's shown that he can do it.

[OCD]

I thought that was his best game in a good while, certainly second half. Good couple of surging runs that had them going backwards and he set Digne down the left to cross which led to Watkins almost scoring a couple of minutes before the penalty. He does a lot of defensive work too which I think goes unnoticed.

Ramsey won't be sold, he's our poster boy until Archer comes food.

Ah, he'll be sharing his porridge soon enough.

He just needs to get his hunger back.

I worry that he'll be like Gabby - one goal against Small Heath and he'll dine out on it for the next 12 months

[ROBBO]

He seems to have lost a bit of his pace this season.

[N'ZMAV]

I thought he played well today, especially times when he drives forward with the ball, he kept finding useful pockets of space, but we wasn't bold enough to make the most of it. He needs to keep it up.

[PaulWinch again]

Much better at the weekend, hopefully he’ll build on that.

[dcdavecollett]

Good to hear.

I love watching him running through the midfield.

Our Jacob won't be playing against that lot anytime soon! Unless they are unlucky enough to draw us in a Cup competition - and if they are they'll be easy meat for him.

Still very early in his career - he's only 21. You simply can't be on top form every single match. Players go through dips in form, even top experienced players. Some people almost writing him off already. He'll get better under UE. It wasn't long ago that people were writing off McGinn and Watkins.

This. If for example Archer comes back next season, he might have a spell where he looks great and a dry spell where it's just not working for him. It just happens. He'll be a better player for it.
