wombatram Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I only caught a small amount of the post game radio commentary, but they were saying that Frank has decided that’s it for those two... (they won’t play anymore and he would rather field the youngsters), is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Johnson will have been told to duck off after the stoke game I suspect, what he did has no place in football, frank perhaps doesn’t want him repsresnting the club. Always thought Ledley was a decent player, but he wasn’t good early in the season and hes told old and expensive to have on the bench. Can understand both decisions, tho I think we will need at least one replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the money we save we will buy someone, but we certainly don't need a "replacement" for two players who don't even make the match day squad.

Johnson did for the majority of the season until his suspension. We lack cover in centre mid at the moment, so we need to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 For all the gammonic shouts of ‘X is crap because he can’t play unless he’s in a middle three’, Joe Ledley is proof that some footballers can play in a two but not a three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Shame for both of them. Ledley was one of the first names on the team going into the season and had near enough nailed down the defensive midfield role going into the Reading game. I thought the criticism of him in the games against Reading and Leeds were unfair because he was playing injured in both games. I’d still have him around because he’s the only midfielder we have who can tackle and has good defensive awareness. As for Johnson, I’d keep him around in the squad in some capacity for the rest of the season because he can be used in different roles. I’m not a fan of his though so I’d let him go at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 If they are not going to get a game and an offer comes in, let them go, but only if the squad is strong enough to cover if we have a couple of 1st teamers injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not a particulary normal reaction is it? Can’t say I’d ever have the reaction to turn around and go in for a bite, might be tempted to spin his jaw, but going for a late night snack on joe Allen isn’t High on my list of priorities. Regardless it’s not about what I think, I’d have probs fined him a weeks wages and got on with it, it’s about what frank thinks. Can’t be a coincidence he does that and is bombed out the squad for 17 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not the worst thing you'll see on a football field. If the cameras hadn't been there it would have been quickly forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
