With the number of substitutes allowed currently a player only needs to be able to perform for 60 minutes.

Still think we should look to add some extra quality if we can sign someone that fits the bill.

I can't understand who at the club decided we needed yet another central midfielder on trial, we've already got Upson normally surplus to requirements plus Oztumer, Liddle and Hargreaves also in the squad, why haven't we got any strikers on trial, which we do still desperately need.

Even more so now that Hanlan is playing with an injury.

Ledley has signed for Newport.

Ledley has signed for Newport. As I've said in other threads, I think we've missed an opportunity to bring in an experienced quality player there that could have helped our younger midfielders, that he will have got to know through training with them, and been used for 60 minutes to start games, or for 30 plus as a sub - a sub that would have brought that experience onto the pitch at times when most needed, instead of bringing players on that 'weren't ready'. Edit - Newport manager Mike Flynn said: "I think Joe will have a big part to play on and off the pitch between now and the end of the season, and his experience will help us get where we want to be." www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56443244Isn't experience one of the key things we lack.....

Maybe but we do have a number of midfielders at the club already and I can imagine Ledley may command a decent wage so if he isn’t going to be ready to start and have a significant impact, then I’d expect he’d be a costly bench warmer....? We have to trust JBs judgement here I think? Remember, Newport are league 2 and Ledley hasn’t played competitively for most of this season

Remember, Newport are league 2 and Ledley hasn’t played competitively for most of this season If Ogogo, Rodman, Oztumer, Grant etc were all fully fit I would agree with you. I can't imagine Ledley is getting paid a huge amount by Newport on this contract which is only until the end of the season...

Possibly but Ozzy is just out of favour I think and we don’t know how long Rodders or Grant or out for. The only long term injuries I think are Ogogo and Barrett. We’ve got Hargreaves, Liddle, Westbrooke, McCormick, Upson, as well as Koiki and Harries who can play central midfield . As it’s only a contract til the end of the season then I can imagine it’s higher than if it’s a longer deal and I don’t think we possibly need or want him for longer as we’ll have players coming back and JB will want his own window to use

He was initially but I thought that had passed now but I could be wrong

Barrett.Forgotten about him and don't think Liddle is in JB's sights. Hope Davies comes back as seems he's doing well at Barrow. Big changes in the summer whatever division we are in.If we do stay up then clubs like Sheff Wed will be really impressed with the Mem!!!!!! Sadly even if we get 6 points from our next two games we won't move up one place.

Had doubts about the idea of signing Ledley but with mounting injuries and lack of quality and experience on our bench, I can see us regretting not taking a small chance with him. Interest to see how he does at Newport.

Interest to see how he does at Newport. We may just regret that. A deal like Newport have done for him was hardly a high risk.

I think in all honesty, we have
A) enough midfielders not getting a match B) enough unfit players not getting a match C) enough old players not getting a match
So really, opting to not take on another of all 3 is an easy decision.
We could of quietly sculpted him into a coach and encouraged his direction towards there maybe, but the man wants to kick a ball around and like Joey said about him, this ain't the club where he's going to find that.
