Ledson

Ledson

The midfield got talked about a lot yesterday after the game, especially with Pearson and Johnson absent. You don’t have to think back very far to find our midfield populated by Andy Procter, John Mousinho, David Amoo Jeff Monakana, Joel Byrom.

Or a bit further for the shambolic Macedonian Gerrard, cojones of a flea Chaplow, heart of a gnat Carter and the perennially two yards off the pace Kevin Nicholls.

Kevin Nichols is in my top 10 worst players
 
Moaning moaning moaning

What do you expect? For him to drop into the team with a masterclass performance?

He did a good job today, a run of games would have him performing better, first half against Blackburn Pearson wasn’t much either.

We’ve just won 3-1, we are second, todays was potentially a banana skin but everyone did there bit.

But some people just have to find fault.

Just try smiling and enjoy what’s happening at PNE.

You do realise that when you say the word moaning three times in a row you are actually moaning?

Our league position and form does not make any player immune from criticism or judgement, otherwise Luke Chadwick would still be playing for Manchester United.

So try smiling while sticking that into your rectum.
 
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.
He was going in for balls which weren't winnable. The lad was clearly eager to make an impression as his chances will be limited behind Pearson. Can't blame him for that, if he had approached things like Potts when he came on we would questioning his commitment. I thought he did well in blocking out any threat of them going through the middle of our defence. I have an incline that AN would have been pleased with that side of his game. I agree the lad is still developing and deserves our encouragement. The tackle was a bad one but only a booking.
 
Ledson did well not to commit another foul after his booking.....but to do this he had to back off form his 'front foot' pressing and simply sit in and protect.... it meant he was 'less involved' but also made sure we finished with 11 men..........

The risk is - Lego is often keen to make an impression and therefore makes the 'rash' challenge too often yet - i.e. Wigan away.....

what he can do is spot the quick early pass - like the one out to Barky in the 2nd goal build up - and so he has qualities if he can loose his rough edges.
