I remember those! He lets you hold on until you're over the threshold and then one lesson, he'll pretend to be asleep so you have to land yourself!! Unfortunately for you, I can't really tell how I do it..maybe practice?? (sorry, had to!). Honestly, you get used to compensating for the wind blowing you across the runway as well as how quickly you're going down. I'd say, its mostly in steady conditions that you could get away with not using the rudder, but most the time you have to cause the weather in Britain is not stable! You'll come to that later on when your FI teaches you crab/wingdown crosswind landing techniques.

In the end remember, slow, steady movements especially when pitching up/down and > pitch controls speed > power controls rate of descent. What are you learning in btw?

FFW

corrections welcome, but thats how I do it!
