Mile Jedinak - Released

[cdbearsfan]

Don't get me started on Bacuna's improved form. Is it beyond the realms of possibility that he could get a Dutch cap?

I may be missing the joke, but Bacuna has already played competitive games for Curaçao and so can't play for anyone else.

I think you are missing the joke CD, at least that's what I think.  If not, it's on me.  I think this is what he's on about.

No sign of Jedinak in Australia's WCQ in the UAE last night. Not sure what the nature of the injury is. Let's hope he is okay for Sunday.

Never heard it called that. You learn something new every day!

I haven't seem him play for us yet. How has he done so far?

My worry when we signed him was that he's getting on and may not be able to get around the pitch so well any more, and was never reputed to be the best passer anyway. Perhaps more suited to a three man midfield. The problem is we don't really have the other midfielders to fit in alongside him.

Very average and your worry is correct ,the midfield area is a slow ponderous sideways passing unit with Tshibola the only one who offers something different.It amazes me we went into the season with the midfielders we have

[Pete3206]

He has an annoying habit of flicking a first time pass into thin air. Have a look FFS!

Didn't see the game today, but saw him on Wednesday and definitely think that is the case.  He needs to be sitting just in front of the defence, with some more athletic players around him.

I think this was the plan, but we could not get the targeted players, which is not that surprising given the timing of the take-over.

[Matt Collins]

I'm not sure it was the plan? We've bought players to ensure we have two competing for every role in a 4231. I do think palace played that way, so he must be able to do it? But there's a reason he was let go presumably

Needs time before we take a view. But if we can get Tish fit, and then possibly get someone more dynamic in during the winter, that would certainly help.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

if we can get tish fit is the key bit

missed half the games already this season as well as a load last season, so the pattern was already there

central midfield has been a problem for years, not enough was done to address it and it is costing us points already
