Mile Jedinak - Released

[cheltenhamlion]

Bruce can set a team up. It won't always work but making the parts better than the whole is where he has surprised me.

[Matt Collins]

Making the parts better than the whole?

[Dante Lavelli]

Making the parts better than the whole?

I agree.  I like the guy but all he has done is make them a team.  I think there's easily more potential in those players, but equally without X they have to propensity to be lazy bastards.  Bruce has quickly solved that, but no more in my opinion.

"all" he has done?

Crikey, if it was that easy, they'd be paying someone 20 grand a year to do it, not someone on Bruce's wage.

I'm not sure what more anyone could have expected from the past 7 games?

Sometimes you can buy a player based on what he did for another team but then you do not allow him to play the same role. Fans are then surprised that he doesn't perform so well. Villa have been guilty of this quite a lot in recent years.

[Gregorys Boy]

I still say Jedinak's signing will prove a good one over the long term.  With all the attacking players we have we need a more grounded, experienced tough tackler and fits the bill nicely.  Palace are certainly missing him right now

He's doing a good job, but 3rd in the form table is not, in my opinion, above what this squad is capable.

[PeterWithesShin]

And where were we in current form when he took over? He's taken a club that had won 4 of 51 league games and won 4 of his first 7. That takes a lot more than just a bit of organisation.

[Toronto Villa]

Bruce has reduced the unnecessary noise and his experience has provided focus. It might not get us into the CL but what he brings will settle us down and eventually get us promoted.

[dave shelley]

Out of interest, does anyone know what his yellow card count is?

[Toronto Villa]

He's on 4

[dave shelley]

Thank you.

[PeterWithesShin]

Interestingly (or not), he hasn't been booked since Bruce took over.

Agreed.  If we don't go up this season then I am pretty confident than it will be next season.  We will worry about life in the PL if/when we get there.

He got booked today. Is that five, and suspension?
