He tries unlike some bug he is never in a million years championship quality. He dived in like a headless chicken in the lead up to their 1st goal and then spent the rest of the game chasing shadows and giving the ball away. Another player rewarded with a contract for doing sweet fa
 
He's simply not good enough at this level. League one player. You can't be rewarding a player a contract because he loves a challenge. I'd like to add, he misses a lot as well and is a headless chicken as the opening post says.
The lad has been here 4-5 seasons now and hasn't progressed and won't get any better. Another poor decision giving him a contract.

Who the hell gave him a 2.5 year contract extension. Baffling!! Kind of optimises why we are in the mess we are in and why I have so much disdain for Riddler and the owners.

Much like all the extensions previously it's simply so we don't have to pay a transfer fee and higher wages for someone better. That's the entire strategy with our squad development.

It's obviously not Ledsons fault but when crud like Harrop can get 6 years of money outta north end is it any surprise all the other players fall over themselves to sign new deals.

It's gotta be the easiest life in football. Be very mediocre, get paid handsomely and get to play every week. Sign me up.

Just as it's the owners' sole ambition to secure survival every year, it's the players' sole ambition to secure that contract extension whenever the final year comes round. Sign that and they can get back to the serious business of loafing about and posting on Insta.

The lack of ambition is completely circular and self-fulfilling, and even extends beyond the club, because nobody else wants to buy the club or any of the shiftless lifers employed by it, to the extent that we eventually have to pay them to fuck off.
 
We spent 2 years trying to sign him, another 3.5 years hoping he might improve, then rewarded him with a 2 years contract. Baffling, truly baffling. The reason he plays so deep and tries so mainly 40 yard "Hollywood balls" is because he has zero pace. 2 or 3 forward passes a game which almost come off is nothing like good enough.
 
For their 1st he came flying in on the left wing probably trying to bail out Johnson, got nowhere near and opened up a gaping hole in the middle which they exploited to score

Too slow to look up and pick a pass too, so most of these balls are played off-balance and blind. No wonder they're mostly off-target and overhit.

Epitomises the club in many ways.

DJ will leave the club this season and a few months later fans will notice that "we never replaced DJ".

But when Ledson eventually leaves the club, many years from now, no one at all will notice when we don't replace him.

Lost shape. Aarons had the ball out wide with a runner outside him. DJ went to the runner, Aarons cut inside into a huge gap and between them, McCann and Ledson let him go. Poor goal to concede overall but for me that’s about players knowing their role. Down to the coaching staff

Disagree down to Ledson flying in when there was no need. He’s a headless chicken but agree the main problem was the way the team was set up

Totally agree with how the team is set up, not only Lowe to blame, what the hell do Marsh and Gallagher bring to the table. Gallagher been coaching now for a few years now and not progressed this bunch one bit.
 
A bloke behind me calls him Ledos which winds me up. And he calls Woodburn Wooders, as if he's best mates with them.

Anyway, another game with 0 goals and 0 assists from our midfield dynamo. But 'he hates Blackpool' so he's brilliant.
 
What I don’t understand about Ledson is why Lowe and Co don’t tell him to play.it simple sometimes. He’s good at winning the ball but treasure it and vary your play.
