Ledson

I was just putting it out there as some people on here seem to think he's a "lovely passer of the ball". For me there's no evidence of that either statistically or on the eye, and it's there to see as a fact that he gives the ball away too much. At times he seems averse to keeping the ball on the ground.

I agree it's hard to make much of an impact when gets little bits and pieces of game time and like others I wasn't expecting wonders from him, but he looks very limited to me as a player.

I agree I don't think he's a great passer of the ball, he quite often just smashes it into the air under absolutely no pressure. He does however try to break the lines more often than Pearson does which goes some way to explaining his lower than average pass completion percentage.

I don't mind Ledson but I don't see him ending up as a deep lying midfielder, think he's more like a Browne than a Pearson which I've said previously.

I love watching Ledson play. He's a lovely passer of the ball.
 
Finally seen the first half incident again on Twitter. It's as I thought it was from my executive box in the AKTE, he goes to block the ball, lad follows through with his clearance and connects with the bottom of Ledson's boot. Absolutely never a sending off. Maybe a booking in this day and age but that's about it. No malice whatsoever.

Nice One.
 
I was right in front of that and he was ball watching, hence the late leg out. Some refs would of given a red others wouldn't. The bottom line is he needs to calm down as there's no need for a challenge like that in this area of the pitch. He's young, he will learn.

Apart from this, I thought he had a decent game.
 
Watching that I wouldn't say there was any malicious intent on Ledson's part - he is focussing on the ball not the man - but he does go in with his studs showing which can cause trouble if there is an opposition player anywhere near. It is obviously a pity about the Huddersfield player but in fact he kicked Ledson's foot - we just have to hope he makes a speedy recovery. Ledson for his part just has to keep developing - he does have a habit of being slightly late for a tackle at times and just needs to become a bit sharper both physically in terms of his reactions and mentally in terms of his awareness of what is happening around him.
