Ryan Ledson

Ryan Ledson

I do still like the look of Ledson overall but he's not going to get a sniff while Pearson's here, but he isn't ready yet to replace Pearson if he goes.
He's got some good attributes, just a shame he can be such a liability at times. May need Pearo's mum to have a word with him...!
 
Good player. However with our options ahead of him, it's hard to see him getting in. If the price is right, look to sell.
 
Give him an extra year for me. Not really near the consistency we need from him at the moment, but he is still pretty young and has time to develop.

Ideally, could do with a loan
 
Lacks the positional sense to sit in front of a back 4 as a holding midfielder. I suppose he could be tried as a 'number 8' but we already have very good options for that type of role.

Agree with this. He had a brief spell last season where he looked really decent. Villa at home over Christmas he was outstanding. Must be hard knowing whatever he does, he's 5th choice.

this is nearer than the above comment.... apart from the building the side round him idea.... if we go up then no, but in the championship another year to develop and maybe he'll be an asset.
 
He's definitely got ability. What I like about him is the positivity in his play which was always in evidence at Oxford. Always looks for a forward pass, tries to unlock defences. He was very highly rated at Everton.

His progress at North End though has been way below what I expected. And I suspect this is to do with his ability to listen to instruction/ intelligence. Neil has a very precise way of working and if you can't get it, you've no chance. Possibly what ended his promising Everton career and reflects his silly rash tendencies when he does get a chance.

There's definitely something in there though but I wonder whether we'll ever see it, particularly if Bayliss develops. Can't see Trev being happy with him leaving on a free though.
 
Why buy young players who are not quite ready for the first team but they have potential to be a good player so they need games to improve and develop .we need reserve team or under 23s
 
Ledson could be playing against statues and would still play as though he constantly has an opponent two feet away from him.

He's not awful to have around and can be useful here and there but I certainly wouldn't lose sleep should he be sold.
