Mile Jedinak - Released

[Matt Collins]

I agree and think Bacuna should come in for one of them. He's not great but he offers more penetration

I'm glad Gardner is getting a run after so many years of trouble but he's not good enough.

If we do get into the prem I don't think even Jedinak can cut it. I'm beginning to think we might be better off staying down here two years and building a league title winning side next season that's more ready to compete in Big League (r)

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Now officially the worst midfielder at the club.

That's not an easy title to have when you look at the other players we have.

He really is a shockingly bad player. Can't pass, can't run, can't tackle, can't control. The game just passes him by. Awful.

He needs a game or two out but let's not kid ourselves about the quality of the replacement options

Gardner and Tshibola v Luton for example

He was poor tonight and quite rightly taken off. But you're way over the top. Jedinak is a defensive midfielder, limited to that role. He needs better players than Gardner, Westwood and Bacuna around him to do some of his work, granted. But he's improved no end since he originally signed for us.

You are entitled to your opinion but I think you are talking rubbish.  He is the only midfield player we have that can protect the back four and also the only one that can break up play.  He is very limited when he has the ball but that is not his game.  Also, he is the only midfield player willing to try and get his head on the ball.  Like Sanchez before him, he tires badly because he is trying to cover ground that others should be and that is when he starts making mistakes.

[Matt Collins]

I'd say Jedinak was
- appalling to begin with
- then inspirational, essentially as a third centre back screening th back four
- has looked more tired of late and struggled when we've reverted to a two man midfield

[ciggiesnbeer]

I like him but boy he could easily have seen red if his crazy lunge had actually connected.

[N'ZMAV]

Jedinak needs a bit of help in centre midfield. Poor fucker.

[QuintonVilla]

He makes Gareth Barry look like Usain Bolt.

[Clampy]

He's had some really good games and some not so good one's as well, especially when he first came in. I like him a lot.

[kippaxvilla2]

He needs to be rested after the Cardiff game.  But then we will get mullered at Spurs with Floaty in place of him.

He's certainly challenging Westwood for that honour.  Dreadful player.

Totally agree with this, he is a very good defensive midfield player, pure and simple but offers absolutely nothing going forward in any attacking sense at all.
In a midfield three, I think he would be ideal but in a two especially alongside Westwood who also offers nothing going forward and very little defensively, Jedinak struggles with the amount of work he has to do.

[TonyD]

Tired. Overworked.   Tosh.   He simply can't pass the ball forward to a teammate.  Replace. 

[oswald funkletrumpet]

I think he tries hard but the reality is i can shit quicker and he isnt that good

He is struggling with games coming in quick succession and i think this will be his last season

lazy signing
