Captain Ledson

Browne shouldn't have been made captain in hindsight. If we're ever going to achieve something in this division we need to be bullish, pressing teams and giving them the odd kick here and there. Just like yesterday.

Ledson or Whiteman for me, Ledson pips it after yesterday, you could see how much it meant to get his side over the line with a win as captain. Its been no secret for a long time that he's a huge character in the dressing room and a notoriously bad loser. That's what we need.

Nothing against Browne, nothing wrong with being a quieter man. I actually think if he had that burden removed we might see him get back to his form of a couple of years ago playing as a 10 in a team that presses like we did yesterday. Potts keeps that role for now though, he was terrific.

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

No they haven’t.

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.

As long as Browne is playing in midfield and not at full back then let him remain as captain for the remaining games.Personally i think the responsibility of captaincy has taken something away from Brownes normal game,hasnt the same tenacity since being captain.
 
Great game, need to see more of it.

Finally looks like he's cut the moronic tackles out of his game that have cost us points on numerous occasions.

Absolute rubbish.

Will just leave this here. https://www.pnefc.net/news/2021/may/ryan-ledson-proud-to-receive-double-award/

That award was much more an indictment on how dreadful we were as a club last season than anything he achieved on the field. He did really well in the first 8-10 games and really struggled after that. Like when Harrop won Championship player of the month, but anyone with a functioning pair of eyes knew he was crap

His composure on the ball and defensive positioning just have not improved at all, and he remains a big disappointment given the hype around his signing.

I think Lowe's style will allow him more touches higher up the pitch, where he can take advantage of his excellent vision in the final third to be an acceptable back-up, but for large parts of his career here he has not even been that.

I would like him to prove me wrong but the: "But he won POTS, he must be good" argument is so reductive

I wouldn’t say he’s been inept. He played well in parts last season and also had a good partnership with whiteman in midfield earlier in the season.

I also haven’t seen enough of mccan playing well to say he’s a much better option. Both good players but need to do more when starting.
 
Ledson was very good last night, fair play to him.

As for McCann, I wouldn't be panicking just yet. He's outstanding off the ball but with us moving to a more possession based style, Browne and Johnson are just better and bigger threats on the ball at this moment in time. It's no slight on McCann, he'll just have to make sure he takes his chance when it comes.

I wouldn't bother trying, because you will not change the view on Ledson of @Lee Trundle and @Yoowell.

In fact Ledson will never change their view on Ledson....😁
