I was all for giving Aaron time when he made mistakes at Accrington - they can happen to anyone, specially in those circumstances. Jack has been rewarded in the last two games for getting it right. He seems fine, specially when you look at the mistakes being made around our division, but I wouldn't deliberately start the season with any young keeper on season-long loan as my first choice.
When you look at how integral Tommy Lee was to our defence, and how his absence messed us up, you might begin to agree? A reliable keeper who gets on with his centre backs, who know his game inside out and trust him ........ for me that's the foundation of any team. (I wonder if the relative youth of our current centre backs and keeper is a factor in our defensive improvement, they're supporting each other.) Once you've got that one-for-all and all-for-one attitude at the back for whatever reason then you become hard to beat. If Parkin could do what Ramsdale is doing, I'd be going why-hey, next season is sorted ...... but a season-long loan leaves you at Bournemouth's mercy. Say Ramsdale is doing brilliantly for us, Begovic gets hurt, Boruc comes in and looks what he is, past-it .......... headline Aaron Ramsdale Recalled from Loan.
If Ramsdale keeps us up, he'll have Chesterfield hero on his CV. (The reality is that if he does well for us, Bournemouth will almost certainly be waiting for a chance to get him some games in the Championship next season when some keeper gets crocked.)
