Captain Ledson

I don't think Browne is really captain material either but at this stage of the season is it really worth McAvoy causing a stir by changing the club captain ? Not sure.

I'd let the new man, who ever it is, decide their captain in the summer and leave it as it is for now.

Agree with this.

Ledson is more of a captain than Browne will ever be but there’s no point in rocking the boat now.

Everything we need to know about the previous regime for me.

The players had had enough of Alex.

at no point has any player said this or intimated it, though in months to come this mantra will be repeated as though it is true!

All bar Riis have said they were (and are) gutted and emotional about him leaving...blaming themselves.

they are happy that we didnt get rid of his no 2 as well and his personality is helping them refind their form

Not sure that’s quite true. Ledson, Browne etc all came out and said they were gutted AN had moved on.

Browne discussed how gutted he was in his Ireland press conference the other week.

Players and managers don't have a bad word for each other to the media. The slagging off only comes out to sell the book they write when they retire. In football you never know when your paths will cross again.
 
A captain's performance

Ryan Ledson is becoming more and more popular, if that was possible, and continues to emerge as the real leader in the dressing room.

North End have lost their fair share of those in the last three or four years and having a guy like Ledo step up to the mark in that regard makes a manager's job so much easier.

The biggest compliment you can pay him is that he plays every game like a fan of 20+ years would.

His game is still developing and improving, but Ledson is a guy you want in the trenches with you and the meaning of that badge on the chest will never be lost on him.

On Saturday, he completed the most key passes, accurate long passes, accurate crosses, passes and had the most touches of anyone in PNE's team.

I’m not in the Frankie IN camp. I’ve no idea who I’d like to be Manager, just a few names mentioned that I wouldn‘t want.

Is there a Frankie in camp yet? Too early to decide. If we are going down the route of head coach/transfers through the board and Beet then in truth your managers become disposable as they aren't building for the long term, the people behind the scenes are. It works out a lot cheaper in the long run and is a potentially better approach for a club on a tight budget than letting everyone get fed up doing the same things for four years

I still maintain Neil is a good manager with a lot to offer. The players are enjoying a new start though.

His best performances were alongside Pearson

He clearly thrives playing as part of a two where he has licence to get forward. It’s no coincidence he struggles when played alone. Whiteman and Ledson are an exciting partnership, energy, creativity, strength, decent shot and decent range of passing
