Jacob Ramsey - Gone

miles off ? he's recovering after a bad injury. He looked sharper on Weds. bit by bit he's getting there

Yep, miles off. He's been awful in just about every game since he came back.

I don't think he's been "awful", he's been very average. I just think he's suffering from the comparison to his exceptionally high levels at the end of last season, which he's not yet got back to.  He's also come back into the side in a period when we're just not clicking like we were earlier in the season.  It might just be he's one of those players that needs matches to get his proper match sharpness back.  Some players can come in and perform almost immediately after injury, but it looks like he's not one of them, unfortunately.

I still think he'll come good this season.

Yes and a goal and assist in both of his last two home matches v Man Utd gives cause for optimism.

He's been pretty much entirely anonymous.  For the position he plays in I'd class that as pretty awful.

I wonder is he worried about getting hurt where he was injured. He seems a bit tentative in his mobility when he comes on as a sub. There was a couple of flashes of the old JJ on Wensday though, so fingers-crossed he's building-up confidence.

Great. How has he done in all of the games before that?

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?

[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.

[PaulWinch again]

I’ll take a hat trick from him, that’d be nice.
