Verrips

[JayGreen17]

What does this lad need to do to get a game, if Ramsdale was an outfield player he’d have been dropped months ago....Rammers is what chocolate is to being a fire guard...useless. Worst 1st choice keeper we’ve had..that’s including Simonsen.

Give Verrips a go in the cup games at the very least.

 

[Russ]

I can give you 18 million reasons why.

 

[BigDon]

Agree totally but unfortunately the stubborn Mr Wilder will not allow poor performances to get the better of his inept signings.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Verrips has not been on the bench for the last two games

 

[FMBlade1]

Wilder won't drop him as would be an admission that Wilder made a mistake.

 

[Drunk blade]

Verrips is an unknown quantity but even if he is mid level championship standard he should be in the team at the moment, I'd put moore back in if he was fit

 

[JPBrods]

Ramsdale is in this side a season early. Next year in the Championship he will be a valuable asset. This season he is a liability.

I expect his game to improve with confidence and clean sheets against similar opposition rather than having the piss taken out of him by world class players. Just yet another frustrating Wilder signing that just isn't ready for this level this season, but may prove his worth over time. We were a bit too forward facing in recruitment. We looked so far into the future we didn't see the pile of shite we had assembled for 20/21.

Oh, and on Verrips I have no idea. I think we just have to stick Rammers in net all season and swallow it down.

 

[JayGreen17]

I think there’s a reason Ramsdale has been in 2 relegation side in the same amount of years....

 

[Albert Grumble]

Needs to take that lead out of his boots so he can get off the floor!

I've been saying the same thing since the start of season, why Wilder brought him in I guess we'll never no..18mill down swannie for a championship keeper at best...

 

[Gretsch Blade]

Got more confidence with Jags between the sticks!!

 

[Kop Cat]

Agree hes a young lad and MAY improve over time but surely this season is not doing the lads confidence any good, give him a rest.

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

Even George Long, Wilko De Vogt and a Frank bastard Talia wouldn't be much worse than the current option.

Goes without saying that I'm all for sticking Verrips in.

Spot on analysis....I also think when you see opposition strikers so often taking aim from 35+ yards out you know exactly what the opposition’s pre-match analysis is saying about him!!

 

[HeySethUTB]

Is simonsen still knocking about? Just asking for a friend.

 

[BigDon]

the challenge in the second half where Egan and Ramsdale came together happened because Egan has absolutely no confidence in Ramsdale even collecting a simple ball....nor does Basham. nor does Ampadu, nor does Bogle, stevens pr this forum........CW does though!!!!

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Didn’t realise until I saw someone say it on Twitter, but this is nowhere near the corner and his position is terrible.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

At the moment we could play both in goal together at the same time and still lose......

Looked like he was diving full stretch yet the balls near the middle of the goal... Surely should have saved that

Yes I initially screenshot his starting position which was just as horrific, he was so far to the left obviously thinking he was in the middle of his goal

 

[HeySethUTB]

People go on about, wilder included, how he’s the England U21 goalkeeper so he must be good. At the moment I see nothing to suggest he will become the next England number one. I mean Steven Bywater, Stuart Taylor, Ben Alnwick, Joe Lewis, Scott Loach and Jason Steele have played at that level and how many of them went for £18 million, we have well and truly had our pants down.

And I know he didn’t buy himself, but he’s CURRENTLY not good enough for this division.

 

[Badger Blade]

There lies the problem for most of not all of our new signings. They might be good enough in 2 or 3 seasons time but who's plugging the gaps in the meantime?

 

[Drunk blade]

Just watched the goals back.. Might be being harsh but the third goal... If he's on his line he catches it surely

 

[FTPE]

I want Ramsdale to succeed, he still might. Its probably better he builds with us outside of the Premiership limelight but right now he needs dropping.

Do we have a replacement? God knows, I've not seen the alternatives but right now just an average keeper that isn't a quivering wreck would be a upgrade.

Its hard not to sound a cunt when you ask for him to be benched but confidence starts from the back.
Rammers seems a really nice kid and has all agility in the world but he scares our patched up defence to pieces. He does me, and like everyone on here has already said - if he was an outfield he would have been dropped weeks ago.

This is my first rant about him as well. I've backed him, even defended him right up to this point. He's not completely to blame, obviously losing JOC is a huge factor also, but we can't bring Jack back any quicker, we can give another goalie a try.
The cup could be that perfect opportunity.

Agreed, we have spent near enough 50% of the £120 Million in total on potential - £10m for the pair from derby, £23m on brewster, £18 million on Ramsdale and £5 Million on Burke. In time I’m sure these lads will come good, I desperately want them to. I just hope the psychological damage of playing in a team that was being trolled by everyone, isn’t a career defining moment that lingers around like a bad dream preventing them from realising their potential.

 

[ChappyAppleBlade]

He's an absolutely bog standard professional goal keeper.

No better than Verrips, Foderingham or Moore.

He doesn't consistently make unbelievable saves.
He doesn't command his area
His catching is questionable
His footwork is awful
His distribution is bang average.
He unexplainably can be lobbed from 3 yards

I've said it elsewhere but Wilder is playing him because he blew £18m on the kid and is now hoping he'll come good to save face.

Put a pissed off Kop behind him next season and he's going to make George Long look like Lev Yashin.

 

[Fifaking]

If we are sitting bottom with either verraps or foders in goal from start of season, it doesn't seem half has bad has spending 18 mill on a keeper who can't keep for shit. Yes not all goals conceded are his fault but players around him have no confidence in him. The way we played last season with more flair, freedom and confidence was a lot to do with players being confident in Henderson

He is absolutely desperate for some Championship football and an education there, he just isn't PL ready, at all.

He went from L1 football with AFC Wimbledon to PL relegation with Bournemouth, to well, yeah - with us.

Contrast that with Henderson, who is a generational talent but, starting with Stockport, methodically honed his craft at each level of English football, slowly working his way up.

 

[Nah den]

I'm just not sure what people have seen to suggest he's going to be a good keeper at some point in the future?

This England U2 thing is a complete red herring too. You only have to look at a list of players that have played for the U21s and went on to be terrible.

That said, there are several other players who are/should be called out for being not good enough too. It's not all on Ramsdale.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

The defence look terrified playing in front of him. I’ve never seen a keeper with less control of his box in many years. Blackman used to scare me at times with his distribution, but this feels worse.
