I really hope we don't get to see the reaction if Jedinak makes a goal-conceding mistake. Midfield and forwards are fine with me.

Bruce just can't resist it can he.......he has to go against any logic and drop Axel for Mile......it'll be 4-3 to Villa! Attack and midfield is right, I've no problem with that.

Anyone feel like his selections are like that Mastermind board game with the black and white pegs?

Jedinak will do Ok against Rotherham, it's just the constant chopping and changing the defense that will cost us in the long run. How many teams have done well without a relatively stable back 4?

Personally, other than Jedinak, that is a pretty good side and no excuses not to win.  Goals from midfield and up front.  I'm ok with the line up to be fair.

It hopefully won’t matter against Rotherham, but that midfield will offer no protection to the defence and that defence has Jedi at its heart.

I really hope Rotherham are a hoof team with strapping ex-miners as their strikers as that's the only reason I can find to put Jedi back in defence. Of course Bodger could have put him in front of the back four to give some valuable support and Axel some experience of dealing with meathead strikers.

No doubt Rotherham will now play it on the floor and pass it around our bodged defence. Most opposition managers seem to be able to out think our rotting King Edward. We still should have enough in attack to do them though. 4-1 Villa.

The Rotherham that is one point behind us? Yes hopefully...

Looks fairly light spectator wise. Not the best camera angle with the upper Trinity closed I suppose.
