omariqy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Should not have played today. Looks all over the place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Terrible decision from Bruce and one we could all see coming, Jedinak simply cannot play consecutive matches that are so close together and to be honest we really shouldn't need such a defensive specialist to play at home to QPR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Still not sure what Bjarnason did to not earn this spot. When he played there, we looked effective going forwards and won each game. With Jedinak back, we've basically become a set piece team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2018 I thought he was probably our best player first half. Didn't do well in the 3 at the back though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 13, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm not a Jedinak fan; but I don't think he was particularly poor tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I stated I had my concerns about jedinak being unable to play so many games in shirt space. It was poor decision not to start bjarnason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much doubt that including Bjarnasson from the start would have somehow changed that game. Especially as Jedinak was actually decent in the first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked knackered to me. did his best but we have to look after the likes of jedinak and terry. these guys are well into their 30s. asking them to play 3 times in a week is a huge gamble. tuanzebe injured and god knows where samba is so who do we have to play for terry who had his worst game for us. another who looked knackered.

I don't really see the knackered angle. I don't think the players looked knackered last night. They were just all shit. Fatigue is an easy excuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff and Wolves had no problem with fatigue so for me is a excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I thought Jedinak was one of our better players in the first half, but there were moments where he looked knackered to me. When a player gets away from him, he often reaches out and pulls them down. In the first half he did this and gave QPR a freekick in a really dangerous position. I think a player of his experience should be avoiding doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It wasn't tiredness per se but more intensity. QPR were winning every second ball and they were harrying our players. The young lad Eze (?) gave him the runaround. When Jedi had the ball he made the simple pass but he couldn't close down space quick enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply wasn't up for the physical encounter, which gives us the platform to apply our skills.....They rumbled us and we let them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree I thought Adomah and Grealish were really trying their best to make things happen and they were probably our best players first half. Jedinak was completely over run by Eze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 IMO it's not worth having what is pretty much a central defender playing in midfield that you get with him in the team. He still brings certain things, but a team fighting for promotion in the Championship shouldn't really need those things except for when defending a lead in the dying moments of a game. We become a worse footballing side with him in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
