Ramsdale looked excellent, quick off his line and good kicking.
Covered his team-mates on so many occasions. Won plenty of headers and looked a class above the rest. Such a impressive start to his loan spell. Booked for dissent.
They are absolutely raving on their forum.
Corrected that for you.
Seems to be pretty close to MoM every game. Just a few quotes from Villa messageboard about yesterday's defeat to the Baggies:
'Mings: 8 Bournemouth must be blessed with CB's if this lad can't get a game there. Just what we need as a captain? '
'Mings has really impressed me, comfortable on the ball, reads the game well and has leadership qualities so sadly lacking this season. '
'Mings is getting better each game as he sees someone has to take some responsibility which is largely non-existent elsewhere. '
Viewing it from the outside I think there could be two issues making Eddie cautious about trusting Mings. First of all there is obviously his history of injuries and failure to survive a run of games without disappearing again for several weeks/months. I think the back four really needs to be a unit and Eddie hates having to chop and change defenders. So if anybody is going to break into that unit permanently it has to be somebody who manages to stay injury free for long periods. If Mings can play every game at Villa then I think Eddie would have a chat with him and take another serious look at bringing him back.For one reason or another Mingsy has not become a regular in our team...after 3 years...he seemed good enough to me in several of his limited appearances, albeit on a screen .....so surely there must be a serious flaw that Eddie knows of, about either his suitability to the PL or something deep and mental!
No....far too good for Championship...but injuries always holding him back....I wonder if he has found his level.
Its a tough one. Honestly, hes good enough for this level BUT he is too injury prone and therefore his level may be lower, in a league less demanding. I'd send him on loan for next season and see if he sinks or swims at a Championship side. I'd get Clyne back in the interim on loan
