    Our fans got too attached to Ramsdale too quickly

    That’s one thing that’s puzzled me even more. He is not from the academy. He has hardly been here for two years. His performances last year were average. Why did a majority of our fans get so attached to Ramsdale? It’s something that confused me a little. Is it because of the " banter"?

      All or Nothing was very powerful PR. It’s the same as if we started selling all the Hale End players like ESR, you can’t take the PR wins without blowback if you act in the opposite way.

      it’s understandable i think - he had an excellent run of games. was a breath of fresh air for a decently long time after ospina/cech/leno/martinez etc. suits the system mostly. has a great story to his career too, really fought his way up.

      just not quite the level we need unfortunately. dunno if Raya is either tbh but still. i guess our plan is to just not need a top tier keeper, just need someone who can pass and defenders to stop them needing to make saves. working so far imo
