Ryan Wintle new contract

Re: Ryan Wintle new contract

Him and Ng are not playing well so far this season for whatever reason

They are both decent Championship players and more than good enough for a lower half Championship club.

Are they our expectations this year? I'm sure many of the 15,000 season ticket holders were expecting more than that

I have no idea why. We were lucky not to be relegated last season and lost 3 of our better players and are under an embargo. It was always going to be a struggle.

Ramsey cant do it all by himself.

Re: Ryan Wintle new contract

I didn't say anything when this deal was announced as I knew I'd have only got stick from the usual suspects for being negative before the season had started, but I just cannot see why anyone gets enthusiastic about Ryan Wintle. As far as I'm concerned, he's limited at best by Championship standards. And I think that's being kind. City need much better than him in the centre of the field if the team is going to progress.

I tend to agree but in his midfield defensive role he is far more consistent than Ralls, yet there are quite a few posters that worship Ralls ?

I think worship is OTT but bar Ramsey hes our best midfielder and if we stay up him staying fit is key.

Injuries and the Championship are definitely catching up on him though.

Ralls is a workhorse and a player that every club needs

Gavin Rae did the distance and covering to allow witts time to shine

Ralls has a few seasons at this level yet and we miss him when he's not on the pitch

Ramsey needs a player like ralls backing him up

Ramsey needs a player who can play off him. Problem we're going to have is that Ramsey is going to expect the players around him to show the awareness and thought needed for him to get his passes off. If and when it doesn't happen then ramsey probably has to hold onto the ball half a second longer than he wants, and the pass going to waste, or intercepted. I'm not making a comparison between the players, but i watched a fair bit of the Inter Miami game against Charlotte. Messi played at least 4 or 5 balls that were cut out or made to look poor because his team mates just couldn't read them. At Barca, that wouldn't have been a problem. It's going to be the same with Ramsey. A top level Premier league player (In thought and Intelligence) knocking about with poor to average championship players.

Not quite accurate about Gavin Rae. His usual centre midfield partner was Stephen McPhail while Whitts was on the flank/had a free role. McPhail always had a grafter alongside him (Scimeca, Olofinjana), not that McPhail wasn't afraid to tackle.

Mcphail was not a tackler or workhorse , I have no idea what you are talking about

Rae was a ball winner and protector . Watts was a left sided forward who would drift out wide . Both him and mcphail needed protection as they were ball players

Kav needed Boland and Bonner

That's how it worked and that's why we need to look for these sort of players now
