well the next time we get a load of people moaning why Smith is playing fucking whelan again, well that's why he's playing fucking whelan again.
Quote from: Clark W Griswold on February 09, 2019, 10:38:19 AMJedinak did at least look quite fit again. He just looked very rusty but he has done in the past in his first couple of games back. We have always had far better results with a fit and fully functioning Jedinak in the team and if he's got a bit more in the tank still i'd persevere. As for Hourahane, he's just a massive piss flap of a footballer, the quicker Grealish comes back to relieve him of his duties the better. The results thing isn’t true any more. He was especially poor away at Sheff U.

He absolutely changes the manner in which we play. We are so much deeper and there is a massive gap between the midfield and forwards so we end up whacking it long way too often. He has offered next to nothing going forward and is too slow and old to offer anything defensively for 90 minutes.I’m one of his biggest critics and Whelan did well when he came on last night. I wouldn’t suggest otherwise. But he’s not the answer at all. He’s a player you bring on late or in specific situations for 15-20 minutes. And last night he replaced a very ineffective Jedinak so it made him stand out even more.

My point is he's rubbish and shot, but he's slightly less rubbish and shot than jedinak, and barring some talent in the youth team emerging, we're stuck with either or until the end of the season.
hmmm. who's going to do the tackling or any sort of defensive responsibilities?

You can of course remind me of this when we keep conceding 3 per game.
He was pretty shit at the weekend it must be said.
