"it's down to me now to find a club and play as many games as I can. My boy is two, he's into his football and he wants to watch me play for my country and at a club as well."
Our midfield couldn't have been much weaker and he couldn't get in it, surely there was effort missing in training for him not to have been involved.
This is the only thing I can see as being the reason he did not get any minutes. Bowyer demands a certain attitude from his players and maybe Ledley didn't display that. However he seems pretty motivated to play and sounds like he has this goal of getting in the Wales squad so surely he must have been trying?
To be honest he did not look to clever in the half he did play for us, so maybe he really has regressed as a footballer, but then surely Bowyer would have seen that in training.
Sad about Ledley. I have been a fan ever since his early days at Cardiff
When we signed him I thought pre window that there was nothing to lose. I also suspected that he might have his eyes on Euro 2020 so landing at a club who have 3 other Welsh Internationals seemed a good move for him.
The other scenario I thought possible was that he was looking at a move to the MLS and when Bowyer said he had something lined up for February I suspected that he might be moving there.
So I was surprised to read the BBC article. I don't think Newport County will give him that springboard to the Euros. Although they would give him a local club to play for and I suspect that they would love him to join.

Just a weird situation all around.
Weird meaning unique?
Has RD/TD’s fingerprints all over it if you ask me! Hopefully the last regime signing..

Like you i was surprised to hear he wants to play localy to Cardiff. It all seems a bit weird to me

I doubt it. Our midfield was decimated by injuries and there was a month until the transfer window opened. It was a punt by Bowyer, especially as around that time he seemed desperate to not play Morgan.
The weird thing was sticking him straight into the starting 11, rather than easing him in as a late sub.
Didn’t we have a real rubbish song for him along the lines of “Iain Iain Ferguson Iain Iain Ferguson och aye da noo see you see you see you jimmee jimmee “

His name has to be in there on the ‘worst ever signings’ threads in future, surely.

Perhaps he had a ding dong with Bowyer?
Being originally from Cardiff that kinda limits him to Bristol Rovers or Newport County, maybe even Swindon
Wales (despite not liking them) are a bit like England where they're getting a good number of young Midfielders coming through
Would be extremely surprised if Ledley remade the Welsh squad if he dropped below the Championship

I saw him against us for Cardiff and Palace as well as Celtic when they played against my Scottish team Raith Rovers in the Scottish League Cup.

Tom Hovi had two appearances but only managed 36 mins....
Karim Bagheri takes the award for me....17 mins.

He’s still listed in our squad on the official site.
