Match Day Thread Saints vs Sheffield Wednesday - Saturday, November 8 - 15:00 KO

I think it was more people could see that a top class keeper might see themselves being pushed into second place by Ramsdale if and when he returns, so they might be reluctant to come here.

 

I still think we should have sold Ramsdalle rather than loaned him personally.

 

Yes I agree, as long as we replaced him!

 

It strikes me as that thinking too far ahead thing, worrying about what might happen after promotion rather than focusing on actually getting promoted.

 

SR trying to be too clever, you say?

 

If only this could have been predicted.

 

Yes he plays for Ireland...

 

I'm ready to be throughly shot down here but....

I genuinely don't think Ramsdale did that well for us. Goes without saying that he's better than what's currently on offer but he's by no means our best goalkeeper in recent years. I'd put him about the same level as Boruc.

 

Probably a pigment of my imagination?

 

I thought Boruc was better than Ramsdale.

 

I did say he was a bit hopeless!

 

Yes but Bazunu more so. The number of shots where the keeper ‘should do better’ will be higher with Baz than McCarthy. I don’t know how to quantify this, would mean going through every goal they both concede and every save made and deciding how many of each others goals they would let in and how many they would save. Which is of course subjective.

 

Ramsdale subbed on 77th minute, conceded 2 and Bees won 3 - 1.

 

There was a big outcry from a lot of people tbh. When George long signed there was a melt down
