The way I look at is this season is gone now Bully so we might as well settle for winning the FA Cup and give Rammy the rest of the season to regain his form.
I‘m glad you mentioned the back up keeper situation by the way because the general consensus was that Moore wasn’t good enough for the PL and yet it seems to me the the two backup keepers that have been added are no better maybe even worse than him. Can anybody disagree? Obviously Wilder doesn’t otherwise one of them would surely have been in the side giving Ramsdale time to recover some semblance of form this season.
Everybody’s has had a view on the club not bringing in a decent replacement for JOC but for me (even allowing for the fact that I’m a bit ‘keeper fixated), the fact that we’ve gone through a season and a half in the PL with no competent backup goalkeeper is nothing short of dereliction of duty. I don‘t want to believe that Wilder has been ok with it and yet here we are flogging a keeper who’s confidence is shot to death as there’s no alternative. It’s shades of George Long under Clough all over again but at far higher stakes and level. We’d probably get a decent experienced Championship keeper for a few £million who could really challenge Ramsdale, it doesn’t make sense. I mean come on Wes bloody Foderingham. What the hell is all that about?
As Clough senior used to say, the goalkeeper is the most important player in the team and yet we rocked up to the best league in the world with lower league backup and we have still not addressed it. Frankly I find it totally baffling.
