Ned Non Basher

[The General]

Ok last week I pointed out that Ned gave away 3 suicidal passes against Derby that could all have resulted in goals for Derby if they had finished them off.

For this observation I was slightly accused of "Ned Bashing".

I actually like Ned as a player but ffs he did the exact same thing yesterday for Brighton s first goal

His distribution success rate out of defence under pressure is a definite problem.

He loses the ball as the last man and the opposition are clear on goal and does this every game.

Sort out your distribution Ned you should be able to pass the ball after 10 yrs blimey.

Awful player, League 1 standard, get rid ASAP.

My ar*ehole goes every time he has the ball at his feet. Shame, cos other areas of his game are excellent but at the level we want to be at, even your centre half's need to be able to pass a football.

I`m not sure any of our indvidual players at the back really is the problem on occations where our midfield fails to either invite ( while trying to attack) or close down (when an attack is over). Just a thought.

Ned always looks rushed. 1st touch is poor as well as his distribution. Been a good servant but unless we sign a vocal player like dunne or a Ryan nelson he needs to go

You'll get pelters for this General from his little fan club, but I (and many others) do share these concerns.

Yes he has improved (2nd half of this season in particular), but the fact is there's a potential clanger in him every game.

Secure as a defender, a disaster waiting when he tries to pass the thing

This. Usually. Terribly mistake last night.

Of course on the subject of Derby, it was another of Ned's terrible passes that led to Gary O'Neil being sent off at the Play-Off Final

It will be a test of ollies window-surely to #### he and all the staff can see how poor he is. Keeping him as a bench player is not even an option imo-half blagged it for most of his career.

[James1979]

He's a player who I think will only be appreciated if we have a few games without him at center back. Hall vs Ned is a no brainer for me this season. But most seem to think Hall is the best??

Yeah but he was alongside dunne immense that day

When is he out of contract?

Always makes mistakes. Cost us again v Brighton. When you look at the defenders in this division you have realise he's a poor player . To think he's our captain aswell. Would like to see him sold in the summer but won't happen.
