Not the biggest issue given that the twat has reverted to Jedinak in defence, but the loan sub goalie seems to have been dropped from being sub goalie. Bit odd? Not as odd as wasting a loan space on a sub goalie to start with of course.

Last season I hoped for Gabby to get a long term, minor injury. Jedinak's turn.

Nothing against him, but he's a disaster.

Apart from Axel being dropped, that's a good team. How deep we play is the issue and how we get Jack close to the front two. UTV.

Not a bad looking line up attacking wise to be fair, but Jedinak back in defence?  For fuck sake man, can you not afford a stamp for an actual resignation letter?

Rotherham offer their most threat from set pieces and are strong in the air so that would be my guess as to why...

Rotherham will score tonight and if they score first it will get interesting.

we shouldn't really need a defence we are playing Rotherham at home

I can only assume Rotherham play the long ball & he's put him there for the aerial bombardment?

Probably not.

On the plus side good to see El Ghazi starts.

I reckon Jedinak has got photos of Fistface eating a salad.  It's the only logical explanation.

Apart from Jedinak what are people mithering about? Midfield is set-up for Grealish to cause havoc, time he stepped up again.

Jedi over Axel? Apart from that it's a fairly decent line-up.

The team isn’t that bad with the massive exception of dropping AT for Jedinak. What the fuck does Bruce see in him in that position? Fucking buffoon

The front 6 players are a decent shout, but how this former defender and his former-defender assistant can keep fucking around with the defence is beyond me. I agree that Elmo is best at RB but Hutton and Jedi together on the left is an invitation to a horror show.
I have a bit of a thing about not having a left footer in the defensive line-up, and Taylor played okay on Saturday.
