Mile Jedinak - Released

Came into it a bit more second half going forwards. Looked better, as did the whole side, with three centrally.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned this 3 in the middle idea before. It looks promising.

[Matt Collins]

Was he better today?

Boodum tish..

I guess, because Bruce has no allegiance to the players, signed or otherwise, he can see things more clearly, yet a  3 in midfield seems so obvious.

Nor me, game passed him by. Scott Parker looked far superior in the battle of the 30 something midfielders.

Listening to the commentary on Saturday Parker was mentioned numerous times as either passing badly or dispossessed by a Villa player.

Even if so, this doesn't completely invalidate my point!

[Sexual Ealing]

It only occurred to me late in the second half that the Parker they were referring to was Scott Parker, the midfielder from the past!

First half Parker was controlling the game, in the second we, and more specifically Gardner, pressured him more and his influence was negated. A plus point for Bruce I would say, spotting the problem and making the adjustment to fix it.

Controlling the game in their own half and about 4ft away from their own penalty box. I thought Lambert was the Manager it was so tedious

Absolutely but when you have set up for a point that is just what you need.

If Kod had been playing central to start the game, I don't think that Parker would have had as much time to control the games / bore the bejezzus out of us. Harassing the opposition just isn't Rudy's game

Parker was so deep that if Bacuna/Gardner/Jedi had stepped up to him, they'd have been way out of position.

Later in the game, with Kod central, Parker didn't have as much time

[He wears a magic hat]

The first half was nauseating. I'm fed up with teams playing this pathetic keep ball in their own half. What purpose does it serve. Fulham actually looked as though they had one or two players that could cause us problems if they had played with any attacking intent.

When teams do this I want us to be brave enough and throw caution to the wind, press as a team and try to inject some life into proceedings.

It was ultimately their downfall as they played one back pass too many. 

I'm still on the fence with Jedinak.  I certainly think it's too early to write him off.
