    Would 100% sign him up if the option is there.

    Didn't have a great game today and has been pretty poor of late, having looked excellent initially 
    Has he got a case of the Brees?
    More the Jones's

    If you've got any form of attacking intent in your body it will be surgically removed!!

    Been a good signing so far and one I think we all would want to see permanently sign in the summer.

    But last night he, along with everyone was pretty poor, thought was better once we moved to a back 4 but as a wb both him and chambers were so far behind the ball.

    We see this constantly with our wingbacks. They come in, they're exciting and aggressive up the pitch and then they drop further and further back. Ramsay could never meaningfully get forward after the first few games last season, Bree's heatmap got closer and closer to his goal after being mostly in the opposition half and box in the first 5 games, it did for Apter once he stopped pushing as high up the pitch and started having to rely on his defensive ability and now we've seen it a bit with Clarke. The attacking freedom seems to drain over time, we even saw it with TC on the left playing very, very deep and worrying about his defensive responsibilities more than getting at the opposition. We're in a pressure environment and I do think the reality of adhering to the defensive requirements starts to weigh on the players as they play more and more for the side. You can survive not being very creative in a Jones team but you will not get away with failing defensively as Harry Clarke found out after the Pompey game. It's a complex role being the RWB in our side, it's no surprise that Ramsay and Clarke have both looked quite a bit freer when they've had Fevrier in front of them in recent games. Having to take responsibility for the entire right side in both attacking and defending while being asked to put in an insane graft is tough for any player, I think they get quite jaded before too long.

    Been poor recently, really struggled with Johnston last night. If Jones wasn’t injured I’d be playing Sichenje and Ramsay on the right and Clarke on the bench 

    If Burke were / is fit, I would go Ramsay RWB, Collins / Burke / Bell in the middle and Chambers on the left.

    Bit harsh, not his best game last night but he was no worse than the other 10 players on the pitch in red. And he was on the bench until the 90th min on Saturday!

    He played like the nation knew it was his fault that we didn't beat Portsmouth. He was meant to score after 40 seconds and hear the full-time whistle after 90 minutes.

    In addition to his second big miss in recent weeks, Harry Clarke lost his perfect early celebration record; he's now 2-1 for the season as per my count.
