Captain Ledson

I thought Ledson was anonymous last night. Agree with comments on the Hollywood passes though at least he’s stopped most of the rolling around on the floor looking for cheap free kicks. I thought McCann put in a good shift constantly harrying Millwall and breaking down their play.

Ledson's a squad player and will be useful in the rotation needed up to the end of the season, but that’s his limit at the moment but hope he can develop under Lowe and Marsh.
 
Both Ledson & McCann are squad players and as I mentioned on the matchday thread, neither are doing enough when given the chance to displace Whiteman, Browne or DJ

However reality needs to set in with some North End fans. We have to have squad players, very few if any clubs in the world have a squad of players who are all good enough to start on a regular basis, including Liverpool, City and Real Madrid. If they were good enough for the first team and were not getting picked, they'd be elsewhere.

What a club like Preston need, is to have back up players who can come in and make the transition as smooth as possible if one or two regulars are missing. Lindsay I would say did that last night, perhaps not so McCann & Ledson. Whichever club you are in the world, if your best players are out, you are not going to perform as well, Example Liverpool when VVD was out as they can't carry another VVD on the bench.

Anyone who thinks Preston North End can have back ups as good as say DJ, Whiteman and SVDB need a reality check, we can't afford 15k a week players on the bench.

My point is Ledson and McCann are good back up players for Preston at the moment, McCann slightly ahead of Ledson is how I see it, but it's a good solid 5, even 6 if we need Potts to fill in there.

I believe Lowe will spend enough time on the training ground to improve the likes of McCann & Ledson, something that has not happened with our fringe players for 2-3 seasons.

In fairness I think most people are saying that. Not really having a go at the lad, just saying it as it is at the moment. Let's not forget Ledson got pots last year, both supporters and players so there is a player in there.

McCann slightly ahead of Ledson…. You having a laugh…. McCann’s light years ahead of Ledson.
I’ll remind you in 6 / 12 months 👍🏻

Not from what I see it. McCann has his moments but he still has had a few dreadful games this season - Forest away and cardiff at home.
Ledson has had a couple of good ones too - West Brom away and Swansea at home.

From my perspective they aren't consistent enough to be a mainstay in the first 11 instead of Browne, DJ and Whiteman.
I do agree with pbc373 - we aren't going to have players as good as the three in the middle. But at the moment they are effective squad players.

To improve as a squad though we need to get rid of the shit squad players and bring in more effective ones who can play in the first team when called upon.
