    If we are picking players out. How has Ramage actually improved our defence? If he has I don't really see it. Yes he is a good bloke and not scared of a tackle but we look no better with him than we did before.

    ok he had a bad game today but the other 3 have a bad game week in week out. he is our leader at the back he is the one who does the nitty gritty stuff. before he came back were were piss poor. he has improved that defence massively. i felt sorry for him today.

    Are we letting less goals in under his leadership? Not really. I thought he was awful against Colchester poor against Notts County and average against Bristol City. If we are singling others out why not him?

    He's our best defender by some distance and I think its a case of the others bringing him down. We'd miss him badly if he was unavailable.

    I really don't see it. He's been at fault for a goal in each of the last few home games though as been fetter away from home.

    Try to imagine how things could be with M'Voto and Nyatanga together in the heart of our defence.

    For me its the lack of protection the back four get from midfield, thats the problem. Bailey jockeying their players out wide where we are at our weakest puts us under pressure and gets Dudgeon and Crainie stick and Brown before him, he got it for not tackling and backing off, yet Bailey could make a lot more tackles and doesn`t.

    I think Cranie is doing well at RB . Agree the midfield invite pressure on us rather than deflect it. I don't dislike Ramage just think people are blinded to his faults.

    Well I aint he meks mistakes like others, but having said that at the moment him and Lewin are my preferred choice centre backs.

    Crainie has done okay at reight back despite stick he gets on here, but then are folks blinded by his faults or Baileys faults etc. If they were all faultless they wouldn`t be nowhere South Yorkshire thats for sure.

    They played okay together last season whilst Crainie was out of the picture.

    He had a nightmare today, but he knew it, and I suspect it may have been down to injury or illness. (He was down on the ground for some time struggling with something)

    I prefer the team with Ramage in than not in.

    I'd quite like to see a team minus Nyatanga, as I think he is the weak link. Too many interceptions/ headers that go straight back to the opposition.

    How he expects to play well with his shirt tucked in so tight and his shorts pulled up so high. He looks like a footballer from the 1930s.

    He's nowt special
