Agree with SH too as potentially another 22 games still to play

Id keep him. Experienced, international player that is just starting to adapt and look the part. Still lots of games to go. Would only get a pittance if we did sell him...etc...

First time I watched him was at Reading, he was mince.

He's improved hugely so he's a keeper for now.

Bearing in mind Whelan often looks knackered and Jedinak is made of glass, I'd keep him. We can reevaluate in the summer.

Keep. He's starting to show why we recruited him in the first place.  I'd start him as well.

He seems to be settling in. Keep him, at least until the end of the season. By then we will have a better indication of his worth and value to the team.

I'd play him ahead of Onomah, Whelan and Lansbury (obviously).

I think we may be getting a bit carried away with a couple of good games.  But if he does keep it up he could become a vital asset in the second half of the season.  This is real squad depth that a lot of our competitors could only. dream of.

I would start him tomorrow and see how he is in that role again. Will boost his confidence and hopefully he can perform in the same manner he did last week

I know Steer is out for the rest of the season but I’d rather have Bunn as the back keeper than Bjarnason.

Not so sure about that tbh

He’s been one of the worst players I’ve ever seen in all but  one of his appearances for Villa

How often has he been played in his normal position? I assume you mean the one performance was last week, if so would you start with him tomorrow?

I agree, but in his defence, that one game was the last game, which puts a different spin on it.

Not on your nelly, we look a far better team with Jedinak as DM, if he’s not fit then Whelan, then Barney, reluctantly. He’s been poor for all but one appearance in a year.
