Ryan Ledson

Ryan Ledson

Equally as shit as the rest of them yesterday.
I often scream about playing the ball forward and ‘passing through the thirds’ but fuck me, please don’t try a worldy pass every fucking time. Tedious.

Ledson will have been here 7 and a half years by the time his contract ends. Just let that settle in

Almost 8 years worth of wages from us, in return for one half-decent 6 months. Is it any wonder this club is in such a state?

I’ve just seen someone describe him as future captain on Twitter. I genuinely give up with this fanbase, we deserve it all

Shit you're right. Well 7 not 7.5. but I posted it as 5 years yesterday and thought that was bad enough. Updated list.... (Covering length from start of first contract to end of extension)

Browne (10.5 years)
Johnson (8.5 years)
Ledson (7 years)
Hughes (6 years)
Maguire (6 years)
Harrop (6 years)
Potts (5.5 years)
Bauer (5 years)
Lindsay (4.5 years)
Bodin (3.5 years)
Evans (3.5 years)

As you say, a decent six months here can end up netting you six or more years of championship money. What a life.

That's just not true.

Lindsay, Storey, Hughes, Evans, Potts and Maguire have all improved under him.

Lindsay and Storey, the 2 centre backs whose lack of ability means they only look decent in a back 3.

Hughes has always been steady away.

Evans, since his foot injury has disappeared, is showing the form he produced when he 1st signed.

Ahh, Potts, the best right wing back in the league and a regular scorer of screamers and assists. And Maguire, 0 goals and 0 assists this season, 1 goal and 2 assists past season. Such an improvement!

Riis, Ledson, Browne, DJ, Whiteman, McCann, Bauer, all performing at lower levels then they have previously. And have been for a lot of this season.

Maguire has hardly played under Lowe, hence an improvement.

The rest you can't argue with. They have improved.

Thought Ledson had a good game last night. He tried a few of his daft balls that didn't come off. But he seemed to concentrate more on winning the ball and giving it to DJ, Browne and Alvaro etc, to play football with. Much better for me. Keep it simple and know your limitations.

He played some decent slide passes into the attackers last night but most didn't quite come off as they were overhit. I think he often has a lot of the right ideas, just lacks the execution.
 
He's so far off being Championship level it's baffling how he was rewarded with a long term deal. Last night he was even too slow to hack down his man as they glided past him. Yes occasionally his hollywood passes come off but most of the time the ball is just given on a plate to the opposition

Ledson was better last night. Kept it simple & less of the wasteful Hollywood balls. Still will only ever be an understudy to Whiteman for the time that he is at the club

If he plays his game like he did last night I'd say he's a capable understudy.
With a fit McCann though he drops lower down the order.
 
Think he did better last night as Storey and Lindsey pushed up a little more which allowed DJ and Browne to be more advanced so Ledson wasn't getting as crowded deep and had more options around him
 
He'll probably play every game next season when DJ and probably Whiteman go. Browne entering his final year too?

Activate Woodburn's extra year, give Onomah a 1+1 deal, and that's likely where we're at, plus McCann.

We'll need a good loanee like James McAtee or Tyler Morton.
 
I thought he did well last night in spells. A lot of good interceptions.

I just wish he would stop the shit floated balls, they never come off. Its league 1/2 shite. When he hits forward passes with some pace along the deck he is a very capable passer of the ball. At one point second half he wrapped one into Cannon's feet, Cannon turned and shot and I think we ended up with a corner from it. I'd like to see a lot more of that from him but of course he needs something pass to.
