Mile Jedinak - Released

[Clark W Griswold]

He looked really good there but unless we get someone as good or better in that defensive midfield position he needs to stay there. Might be a good bet for next season though alongside Chester. Baker has been pretty good this season but for me Jedinak looked better, based on Saturday. Probably need to see a few more games with him there to be sure though.

He might struggle against a pacey forward with decent movement.

[DrGonzo]

Big game for him today if he does start at the back, probably a bit late for him to think about a full time move into the back line, but he'd not be the first to make the swap.  My concern is principally his pace on the turn, I can see a quick forward getting past his shoulder without too much trouble.

Absolutely awesome today, McGrath-esque.

Steady on.

I mean for sheer presence and composure. He's got 5 yards on most players at this level in his head.

Just watching him on the highlights on the post-match thread and thought he looked terrible in a few moments. Not just the back pass but also second half when their player turned, i think Chester, and Jedinak chose to stand rather than attack the ball. No, not a centre half.

Sorry Pete, I just watched the whole game piss wet through and apart from that backpass ( he hadn't seen their player still lurking from a previous attack) he was bloody immense.

You cannot judge the entire performance from a tiny snippet of information.

You can when he fucks up in most of those 'snippets', for the record I'm a huge fan and think we are much better with him in the team.

That's like saying Hogan had a magnificent 90 minutes.

Or that Kodjia is going to score! ;-)

And i agree i can't fully judge him on a very brief highlights glimpse and it wasn't so much the back pass that alarmed me but how as the last line of defence his first instinct wasn't to get out and close the space. Then you do look at two very poor moments in a brief glimpse and then the highlights are very harsh on him or there are other areas where he may have come up short. But as you said i was wasn't there so I can't say with any authority that he was as suspect as the snapshot of him has shown.

We were poor for most of the game, ironically because we were missing him in behind the midfield, but we would have lost today had he not been playing centre half.
