Stoneybloke Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 All that fuss about nothing. Maybe he can show his real potential now. Link to comment
Green Final Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 We'll probably never find out what has been going on in the background. I'm very pleased to see Calvin remaining a Dons player for the present time. Link to comment

beef_sister Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hopefully he signs an extension now that he's not away until summer at the earliest Needs to get back to full fitness and kick on from now until the end of the season 1 Link to comment

Redmist1903 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Is it just me that thinks this guy can't defend? A massive percentage of the goals we seem to have lost this season when he is playing come from the area of the pitch he should be responsible for. He's obviously decent going forward so to get the best out of this guy and to ultimately jack up his price we should consider going to 3 at the back again and push him forward into a wing back position. Get to the summer with potential suitors thinking his stats and data are the dogs bolloxs then sell him for >£5 million before it becomes apparent he can't defend. I've no confidence in our coaching team to improve his defensive capabilities. 1 Link to comment
DandyWarhol Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 He's been woefully out of form since returning from injury. Whether that is down to all the hype/speculation going to his head who knows. Fitness and defensive ability are 2 major issues. Link to comment

I've no confidence in our coaching team to improve his defensive capabilities. Seem to remember the well renowned German right back, Manni Kaltz, who was part of the Hamburg team we defeated in the 1983 Super Cup. He was fantastic going forward, with brilliant crossing ability if I recall correctly. Was also a bit suspect with the defending side. Someone else has said perhaps Ramsay should develop his game further forward like Bale did. Good shout that + if Glass does it and it works the transfer fee would undoubtedly rise. Link to comment

I've no confidence in our coaching team to improve his defensive capabilities. Whilst you might be correct, the goal last night was not his fault. He did his job by blocking the initial shot; the other defenders did their job by marking the other attackers; our midfielders were watching and following the ball, which meant there was nobody near Callaghan when the ball dropped to him. As for Ramsay playing wing back, I think this is a great idea and I said this earlier in the season. I think he would also be effective as a right winger. If we were to change his position, I think this would more through accident than design, as I have no faith in our management team to think of something like this. And if that “accident” were to happen, our management team would all of a sudden have a “light bulb” moment and think, “hey, Calvin did great in that more advanced position. We should play him there more often. It’s galling that something as obvious as this (as well as many other completely obvious things) is crystal clear to so many of us amateurs of a fan message board, yet our, ahem, expert management team seem totally blind to this and other obvious changes that would drastically benefit the team.

Scotty_Toronto Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 More than happy to let Ramsay work through his return from injury. Players like him don't grow on trees. I'll take the growing pains and accept mistakes while he learns the defensive side of the game. Hopefully he'll settle now that the window has passed. Link to comment
Alex_14 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Is it wild to suggest putting him to right wing and sticking Ojo at right back? Link to comment
Millertime Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 He is lasting even less in games now Should have taken the 5M 1 Link to comment
Torry Tosser Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I heard that the Leeds scout after watching him,said theyv'e got 2 kids in under 18s as good as him,if not better. Link to comment

Dr_Manhattan Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I would think he's played at right back because the only other option we have is Gurr. We've tried 3 at the back, we were woeful. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I think a spell on the bench might do Ramsay the power of good. He's struggling just now and I've more confidence in the defence when he's not in it. Link to comment

I'm inclined to agree but my concern is he's seen as a high value asset and benching him isn't going to do his value much good, so wonder if they'll just keep plodding along and hoping he finally has a decent game at some point. Imo his attitude is really poor at the moment. Link to comment

Our defence is ropey enough as is without adding to the issue in persevering with a young loon who's obviously struggling. Link to comment
