I've been critical of Ledson even when we were winning, he needs to be a backup and that is it.

Otherwise the players have earnt the right to be supported through the next few games.

Love and peace man 😀 Not one person has denied that and we've been doing it for decades in many cases... All they've/we've done is offered their opinion.... Just like you. There really is no need to be so defensive and nasty in your retorts. We're all on the same side even if you are married to a Dingle.

You make some constructive posts at times.... Keep it up. Don't keep letting yourself down with the unwarranted abuse and trolling. 😉

We aren’t doing much wrong with the players considering we are third in the league. Saturday is the first time
In 9 games we completely fucked it up. Lessons to be learned. Hopefully it’s bodes well for Wednesday and Saturday.

There is being critical and then there is acting like our entire season so far has been
Shocking after our first defeat when it has actually been the opposite.

And if they are then I'll be over the moon and you'll have nothing to write to me about and I'll have nothing to complain about. Great start.... No one has denied that. 🙂

In fairness to McCann (and Ledson) that's the "box midfield" system though. Those two deep midfielders are intended to be bypassed and the ball is supposed to go straight to Browne and Holmes at "10" to then set up attacks

I know what you are saying but that means ( in effect ) 7 at the back.... No wonder we hoof it. 🙂

Where have I been nasty and defensive?

I think you're making that up to fulfil some sort of hero fantasy you have.
 
needs dropping - we havnt won since he returned - lets get back to how we started the season without him. Yes it'll be unpopularand yes hes a good player but it isnt working

Part of that to do with the fixture list. Today I thought he was alright although some of his crossing from wide positions was very poor, just balls going out of play when there were men in the box.

I do agree about the corners though. I've never really get why teams hit floated corners towards back post as you sometimes need three positive contacts before anything ends up towards the goal.

Southampton inswinger corner in 95th minute is always far more effective as you just need one glance and it can go in.
 
Definitely been poor since his injury, notably lost a lot of muscle and looks skinny. Understandable given he had a hernia.

Ridiculous to want rid of him though. Without him, the engine room of our midfield is just League One cloggers like Ledson and McCann.
 
I said this before the Southampton game. I read - and hear so much about his technical ability (especially when we're on Sky) but I don't see it. I try. I make myself study him but largely, he passes me by. I've seen midfield maestros since my first...Nobby Lawton , through Ken Knighton , Gregan etc - but I always noticed everything they did. Unless Whiteman scores a la Blackpool, I don't clock his contributions.

I get a couple of tough fixtures but we also had tough fixtures at the start of the season

Just comes deep and collects the ball of my Woodman and gives it to the wingback

Whiteman is over rated hasn’t stamped his authority on any match I have seen.
I haven't seen many matches our midfield has controlled.
I said we will end up mid table now I am not sure hopefully 50points & the sooner the better.
 
Think most fans can see Lowe has reverted to type with his tactics & formation since Whiteman returned.

Let Whitey have it so he can work his magic (i.e. pass it to Whiteman so he can pass it back to you so you can pass it back to him again, before launching it upfield etc.)

I don't rate him that much either, but he played much further forwards at Doncaster. He's not a sitting, defensive midfielder.

Comes back to tactics again and the role he's being asked to play.
