Ramsdale’s little jump

[wavy-blade]

Worst signing this club has made for a long time Wilder really fucked there .

I mean the whole concept of selling a player for £300,000 or what ever it was , and then buy him back for 18 mill , i never got my head around that in the first place ?? For that reason alone i would have looked else where !

 

[varkanoid]

Every time I see Rammers jump and flap.. I honestly want to keep pressing my screen as if playing a game of Flappy bird!!

For me it was always getting the footwork right in order to be set before making a save.

Ramsdale does neither. His footwork is all over the place and his arms are never set they’re always flapping about everywhere.

Not a fan of how he dives from a standing start either it means he has to dive upwards to get down which means he’s getting nowhere near shots that should be pretty routine.

For me goalkeeping is a lot about anticipation. I’ve not played to any great level but I have done a lot of specialised training when I was younger. Any one can makes saves but being able to get into the right positions makes it a hell of a lot easier. For as long as I can remember it was drilled into me that I could see everything on the field and should have bred that into my defenders with confidence.

Ramsdale isn’t displaying many of these qualities at all atm, unfortunately.

Then again I have said before he’s clearly lacking confidence and so are his defenders in him.

Watch the training video I posted in the Spurs match thread post no.1 go to 4 mins 20 and watch our goalkeepers. They look sharper than Ramsdale.

 

[Champagneblade]

In every game, you can see Ramsdale call for the ball and move towards it but a defender will clear instead when he could have left it. It happened 2 or 3 times today.

The defence do not trust him at all.

I am certain of this because I play in goal and my defence don’t trust me so I know this behaviour when I see it...

What are you doing next Saturday?

I don't know if it is a fitness thing or just general agility but he just never seems to make up yards when the ball isn't travelling at great pace. Same with the Villa goal earlier. They aren't howlers but you expect him to get nearer. Add to this when shots come that fly over. He never gets anywhere near the top of the goal with his dives.

I hope we kept the receipt.

This one:

 

[1889]

Put us on the back foot from minute one with that ridiculous shanked clearance.

Apart from being very wooden, slow in anticipation. reactions, punching diving and physical presence I think he is very very weak with his feet particularly when he’s getting closed down.

He actually kicks the ball like someone who’s in goal purely because they were last pick

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

You knew we were in for a treat from Wilders pet rabbit,with the early minutes clearance.

 

[varkanoid]

Yes - Ramsdale, 2nd save he spills, third save he spills. Compare that to the one in red.

This one:

 

[JT89]

Their first goal doesn't happen if just catches the ball instead of somehow jumping downwards to tip it over the bar.

Kane's goal wasn't anywhere near in the corner.

In the 2nd half when he comes out he needs to be brave but he absolutely bottles it.

Would imagine our defence have very little confidence in him.

 

[bladesmanluke]

How has focus turned to bashing Rammer's?

I accept he was a little bit all over shop but I don't think he did anything to warrant a slaughtering today.

It was one of the worst performances from a keeper I've ever seen. Flapped at absolutely everything

Not that half of the efforts should've even made it as far as him, but that's another topic

 

[mattbianco1]

Got himself out of the Man Utd game.

That's 3 out of 4 times now since promotion

 

[United Aren't Back.]

He looks a bag of nerves every game, like a kid playing in an adults game... The problem is he's probably being paid a fortune

So is Norwood for instance.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

How has focus turned to bashing Rammer's?

I accept he was a little bit all over shop but I don't think he did anything to warrant a slaughtering today.

First 30 seconds misskicks ball, 1st goal headed in 6yd box, flaps one off line when trying to punch it , even the commentators were laughing.
Second half comes sliding out looses ball bailed out by Egan, crashes into Egan on a cross instead of shouting for it and if he did it shows how much confidence Egan has in him. Third goal classed as a great finish by some but should he be beat by a ball that's in the air that long.

 

[Medlock]

What on earth was he doing on the edge of his box, sinking to his knees and flapping the ball. He should be tearing out, diving on the ball, and then clearing out the striker. Poor decision making .

 

[robbiez666]

The problem I have with it, is that whilst it helps with spring if the shot is in the air, it takes him longer to get down when it's nearer to his body. He's really poor getting down to his left. It's something keepers often struggle with on the wrong foot.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Poor old Egan has got zero confidence in Ramsdale

How much has Ramsdale in him?
Ball down the middle he's done for pace every time.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I don’t like to criticise any United player but he simply isn’t good enough.

When he dives he doesn’t seem to cover any ground. His legs go to one side, his arms to the other and he lands in the same position he started.

I‘m not blaming him for today’s defeat though. I blame Norwood for that.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Dropping him will be Wilder admitting a mistake so Wilder will never do that.

So true. If he was to drop Ramsdale, he then can’t make comments about money as a bargaining chip to the board. It also goes against the childish strategy of naming a full bench to put more pressure on the board to invest. They can simply turn round and say we gave you money and you have sat 41 million of it on the bench I.e. Brewster and Ramsdale.

 

[Toronto Blade]

He needs a different type of studs he often slips as he goes to kick a back pass.
The loss wasn't his fault today Bogle takes the blame for the first goal with poor attempt at covering his man then two horrific giveaways by Norwood.

 

[FredZeppelin]

I’m a gk coach at step 4 non league and use to play step 3 non legaue up until two year ago.

It acts as a trigger movement like triggers when batting in cricket. Watch a lot of goalkeepers around the world and you will see it. from mind, De Gea and Neuer have a big trigger jump.

I try and stop the lads I coach having a huge one, just need a small set and ready. Not a big bound and set. Just gets your feet ready to spring and helps you not have planted weight on the balls of your feet and helps the springing motion.

This is in no way a dig at you, mate, honestly. But in cricket trigger movements are a refinement to your game that you start to introduce only after you have the basics absolutely right. Those basics are that your head is completely still and, most importantly, balanced. Good players introduce them more as they move up in standard and play against genuinely quick bowlers. The problem with them is that there are just too many moving parts when you are out of form. That's when you go back to basics and get your head and central core balance back.

Do you think Rammers might benefit from going back to basics a bit more? It seems to me that his trigger movement just delays his reaction slightly and it makes him look a bit slower than usual to the ball. Not good for a Prem keeper.

UTB

 

[Foxy]

I'm yet to see one good performance in 20 games. He's a bag of nerves and can't catch a ball.

Admittedly, a number have been low average scores overall, but he's got 4 MOTM's from player ratings on here.

 

[Aston max]

I think the lad needs leaving out for a while, his confidence is knocked you can see that, the whole team needs to take a long hard look at themselves, and I am now beginning to think wilder needs to think about the system
Just gutted at the moment
58 years I have been going to the lane and all over the country with them but I will accept whats happening and carry on and hope the board back CW for the push back

Tbf I think you have a point. Think I'm just struggling to get past Norwood's performance.

 

[Hague Blade]

I've noticed when he decides to come out to challenge on one on one's he doesn't dive forwards to feet but slides backwards giving the forward more space. Half hearted challenges. He has no command of his box at all.

Exactly this. That one at the start of the second half was really poor - either stay at home, or come and commit 100% to getting the ball. He did neither. I‘m not quite as down on him as some, but that was really poor, schoolboy stuff.

 

[diode_blade]

WTF has Rammers done wrong for any of the goals today, the defence fucked up the first from the corner, then our players gave the fucking ball away in the midfiled for the second and fantastic third.
If that 3rd had been scored by tit head Maradonna, Messi, Ronaldo or Currie everyone would be raving about it., Watch it again, he knew exactly what he was doing and where all are defenders and where Rammers was, nowt any fucker could have done about that.
At the moment yes his confidence is low, and perhaps a bit of time on the bench would do him good, but don't slag the poor lad off for those goals.

 

[alcoblade]

His trigger movement seems to take him away from the ball e.g the Man City goal.

I also don’t like his positioning on set pieces. First goal today case in point.

You aim vaguely for the corner and it’s in.

A very poor signing, who I suspect will not be first choice in a years time.

Admitting defeat is the test for Wilder, assuming it was his signing.

Nothing today, for me. However, I’ve come to the conclusion (sadly) that at this level, he’s a really poor keeper.

 

[Digs blade]

Uncanny how many professional goalies we have on here.

He’s a young Sheffield lad trying to defend a goal with defenders who are are conceding goals.

How about cutting him some slack and supporting him

I know he has made some errors, Didn't Tracey and Ned Kelly and Padds do the same, but they turned out ok. A rest hopefully would do him good.
