New FA directive.  Nobody with a beard can play without a doctor's note.

So since he's come back we've won 3/4.

Maybe just maybe he's one of the most important players at the club.

If Hutton can be praised for running around a bit I'll bump up the Jedinak thread I think. ;)

Sometimes a player can be limited in terms of technical skill, but have great awareness.

This is Jedinak, and bloody he'll we've needed it.

He drove me mad today mind with his hacking and slicing of he ball. Defensively though he's excellent.

The main value of Jedinak is that it means Baker and Chester don't have to come out and win anything in front of them, they just hold their shape and he does the dog work in front of them.

Ever since he was missing, it was obvious we were missing him.
A crucial element, and we need to work out what the contingency is when he is unavailable.

That's my view. Defensively, Jedi solidifies things greatly but his passes and particularly his heading can go absolutely anywhere

Agree with that.  We do look more defensively solid with him in the side and he is more than handy defending set pieces.  He's never going to be the type of player who can sit in midfield and pick passes though.

Considering he was a bit shit right up to the Wolves match too, he's turned it around and we miss him when out. Solid stats those.

As a stat that looks good but how do other players compare?
Personally I think he's a limited player but must say that if he helps get us back into the Prem..fair play..

Will be interesting to see what we decide to do in the summer re cover for him, because we can't expect him to play every match at his age. I always thought Sanchez would be fine to fill that role, and he's also been playing in a 3 man defence at Fiorentina in case Bruce wants to use that again at times next season, but I can't remember if there was an option to buy, or he asked to leave on loan in the summer, or something else which would put him being here next season in jeopardy.
