Ryan Ledson

Ryan Ledson

Starting to change my mind on Ledson. Seems to have toned down the silly challenges. Plays with urgency playing quick 1 touch passes which we miss at times, has a decent engine. If he can add a few goals to his game next season, he’ll be a solid championship player

He needs to keep it up. I've been impressed with him during this run though. I'd say the run of games he has had tells us everything we need to know about Pearos future
 
Both he, Storey and Harrop need an extended run in the team. If Davies and Pearson go then maybe Trev will allow the signing of a striker for 5m.

I said the same but I was being polite. To say his distribution needs work is a real understatement. I worry about our midfield next season if he will be a starter.

I don’t view him as a holding midfielder long-term. More of a battler, box to box type. He isn’t good enough on the ball to sit deep like Pearson or Gallagher and dictate the play.

We will have to sign someone if Pearson goes.

The 'fringe' players - Ledson, Potts, Rafferty - look like they've breathed a bit of life back in to the team. We had started to look stale, tired and devoid of ideas.
Conversely the 'Old guard' of davies, Pearson and browne have been very poor imo since the restart.
Interesting to see what AN does when everybody's fit.

Agree with this. Davies, Pearo and Browne could subconsciously thinking they're wanting to go. This close to the end of the season, the cynic has to believe they've had conversations with their agents. Can't help but be distracting. Can't be good for the team either of they know the top lads aren't committed. Not saying it's true but would make sense why they have dropped off.

Need to get Ledson, Rafu, Earl, DJ, Potts, Fisher all snapped up before end of July.
 
Ledson and Storey will replace Pearson and Davies. We'll need to use the money to strengthen other obvious areas. I really think we must pay the loan fees for some quality Prem youngsters like Brewster.

Ledson is not a holding midfielder, surely that has been demonstrated now. If he is to replace BP on the team sheet, then it must be within a change of system.

The problem with our stance on loan fees and wage contributions is that all it results in is top young Premier League loanees going to our rivals instead and strengthening them, but never us.
 
Just don't get the obsession with a holding midfielder... What's wrong with 1/2/3 box to box players who just use there common sense and communication of when to go and when to stay??.. Think its a modern day overrated tactical obsession personally.... Sure ill get shot down though. 😁

I quite like this idea. Browney, Ledson and Potts as a narrow Box to Box 3. Can have Barky, Sinclair and DJ as a fuid front 3. Fisher and Rafu bombing on on the wings.
