He doesn’t look good and I would strongly be in favour of selling and getting someone else in.

 

That said, I think anyone blaming him for the third goal is nuts.

The ball has just been played here. Taverniwr gets to it about two yards outside the six yard box. Ramsdale must be standing about three yards from where the ball ultimately next gets touched, Botman redirects Tavernier enough that it should be a very easy claim for an even somewhat competent goalkeeper.

 

Don’t think I can blame Botman for not just assuming his keeper wouldn’t come and claim a routine through ball.

This is it for me. Just needs games and a good spell without an injury.

Ive said it before, but hes not suited for how we play currently. Think he'd still be a useful player in a defensive side that's compact.

 

But his lack of mobility in these open style games is glaring.

Works both ways, Botman first went to go right, realised that was wrong decision, backed off and as ball is played, player runs around him. Ramsdale from that position will be expecting his CB to get there goal side and clear, not be comfortably beaten where player can get shot away.

Not a hope in hell that he miraculously turns into Usain Bolt. Very slow at pressing, very slow on the turn, just very slow. His passing is good and his heading is ok. On the bench until we sell. We massively miss Dan Burn.

Think that's down to us sitting a bit deeper because the lack of a striker and fret.

Honestly, if Ramsdale charges out and takes the ball as Pope would, and as Botman's expecting, everyone's probably saying what good defending it was for him to get in the way and slow Tavernier down.

Botman 90% at fault there. Awful/non existent defending. At the end of the day he is a defender and he's been terrible at it for at least a year now. His fans on here can take a running jump. Aye he passes the ball great, so what? I want my defenders to defend!

on the contrary, there are two minutes to go and the pass is such that Botman more or less has possession of the ball. Instead he chooses to play the man and hope that Ramsdale is going to come off his line and claim it. 

 

In an ideal world Ramsdale does that but we all know he doesn't come off his line well. Don't take the chance, just clear it.

The goal is 50:50 between them both.  Botman should never give Tavernier an opportunity to shoot. He should command the entire sequence and clear it at the worst.  
 

Ramsdale  should be sweeping that up easy.  It’s typical of how hesitant he is off his line. The goal is scored near the 6 yard box ffs. He won’t even domnate that area even if he got there at the last it’s a sign of the lack of command he has in general.  Pope looks to get that ball as soon as the pass is made. 
 

Biggest factor is 2 players not used to playing with each other

Seriously? He just needs game time - lacking match sharpness 

 

Just don't think he has the mobility needed and he's injured too often. IMO.

Absolutely pointless negativity based on the back of a dodgy-ish performance.

He's been well dodgey for a year now. Not just one performance. Do you actually watch our games?

Maybe Botman is just you know... Out of form? The same that has happened to every sportsman that has ever existed?

It's exactly this. People excusing Botman because of injury, fitness or whatever miss the point that he was totally at fault for Bournemouth's third goal. It was honestly pathetic defending. I can't wait for Dan Burn to come back. I would even have a fit Lascelles ahead of Botman.

Out of form for over a year?
