Mile Jedinak - Released

[passitsideways]

Seems to save his best performances for the derby, although to be fair, the Blues always making it easy for him by launching it in the air, where's no one's better. Having the ability to rotate between him (for the away games against the teams who play hoofball) and Bjarnason/Whelan is a very good thing.

He was immense yesterday. Well done Mile and Brucey.

Yesterday is why, when he's fit, he plays.  He has a lot of limitations as a player but the control he gives us by shutting down that channel makes the game much easier.

I've said before that I can't remember a player with such presence on the pitch. I was trying to describe him to the wife yesterday.

He's slow, his passing is bad and he's a brilliant player. He is positionally world class, if nothing else.

If he stays fit, he has to stay in the side for me.  He shores up our defence and wins pretty much everything in the air in that comes his way.

I think it was a fantastic performance from him yesterday but Saturday will be a completely different game, with the ball likely to be on the floor a lot more. I'm not a fan of BB but wonder whether he may be more suited to that position for the Fulham game?

I'd stick with him.  We'll need to break up Fulham's attacks and Jedinak is the master of that.

Playing Jedi on Sunday was the right move. However, in general, I'd still start Bjarney, have Jedi on the bench and Whelan not in the squad

Wolves would be the next start for Jedi

Winner of key area in midfield and the screen to back 4. Mile was rock solid. Heard the commentators mention his screen of Gallagher and it was evident he won many duels. Great combative and physical force was very well selected in derby match yesterday . Strong contender for next match v fulham

My thoughts exactly. He dominated the space between midfield and centre of defence and anything in that zone he made his. Fulham will want tog et the ball wider and will not be lumping it so I think we may need BB's mobility in there with Jedi dropping to the bench and if he does then I do not see the need for Whelan to take up a bench spot.

I wonder what the stats are when Mile plays (in his actual position as opposed to a centre back) how many we win or don't lose?

Last season it was ridiculous in terms of us not winning when he wasn't available and then picking up form when he came back.

To me he's a real player's player. Has had plenty of stick on here in the last year but I'm sure Terry and Chester appreciate all the dirty work he does during the game.

His dodgy passing isn't an issue either with better quality infront of him now. Last year he was often in a midfield with Gardner and Bacuna so no wonder we couldn't string 5 passes together.

Talking of players player. I've not seen it mentioned but I'm not sure if his altercation with Ndoye from that corner was possibly a way of getting him back for his foot on Grealish? Something went on that upset Ndoye and lose it. Not sure if anyone has seen the detail?

I'd imagine his fustration at being the shittest player on the pitch eventually spilled over into violence. It's the Birmingham City way.

He was shit in a “not actually sure he’s a footballer” way.  Haven’t seen anybody that poor since Tonev.

Hahaha! You may well have a point. After yesterday I dared to venture on the SHA forum earlier (for some entertainment) and saw one of their fans saying Ndoye made Grealish look like Yohan Cruyff (my favourite quote of the day).
