Popular Post sexbelowsound Posted March 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Jedi is an absolute boss. I like where he tells the Sheff Wednesday player to get off the pitch when he gets a red. This is MY HOUSE!

TRO Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Steve Bruce often makes reference to physicality in this league and so does Steve McClaren and Neil Warnock. I think Jed epitomise that.....helps create a solid platform 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Is he the best in the division at what he does? Some of his long range passing yesterday was superb too, quarterback-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be captain for me - True warrior and very vocal and confident. i was a bit worried by chesters comments he found it awkward to criticize players in the dressing room - Chester is a very good player but Jedi is more of a leader for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captains usually pick themselves by their performances and help and guidance......but SB will know all about captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed we have several captains of ex clubs in the team , all leaders in their own way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Chester is probably the better captain, for three reasons: a] He is the current incumbent, and you shouldn't change captain for no good reason because you humiliate the person doing the job now, and in this case we don't want to do that, b] He has worked with Steve Bruce for far longer than all the other players at the club, so should know his methods better, and c] Chester is likely to play more minutes than any other outfield player over the course of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Would you play Jedinak as CB going forward? For me he has to be on the pitch at all times, he win's almost everything in the air and some of the balls he plays forward are great. Granted his short passing is awful In order to play a 4-4-2 Jedinak needs to sit in as a CB as he no longer has the legs to play CM in a 2 At least whilst Baker is injured I would leave him next to Chester and experiment with a 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop him back in to centre half, and throw on an attacker instead in place of whoever's at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 IMO the most unfairly criticised player on the main Villa forums this season. Yeah his start here wasn't great but people were still giving him massive stick around xmas time. Our contrasting records when he does or doesn't play isn't a co-incidence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Set to play centre back against Wigan according to Bruce. Quote Steve Bruce has confirmed that Mile Jedinak will play centre-back at Wigan. And Bruce says Jedinak can eventually switch positions long-term and play there in the future. Bruce believes Jedinak will be a “top-class centre-back” in the coming years. He said: “I thought Mile did very, very well there against Sheffield Wednesday. “I have seen him play there before and it suits him. For example, anything that comes anywhere near him in the air, he gets his head on it. “I think he has all the ingredients to be a top-class centre-back. “That has given me food for thought. He’s going to play there again tomorrow. I thought he was that good. I don’t mind saying that. "I thought he was excellent against Sheffield Wednesday.” https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/03/17/jedinak-set-for-new-role Edited March 17, 2017 by sexbelowsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see us attempt to play with 2 up top in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his long range passing yesterday was superb too, quarterback-like. This was one of the facets to the game he added when dropping back against wednesday. No longer were we able to be pinned back because nobody has the ability to pass the ball forwards. It seems an obvious move for him at this stage of the career. It also solves the problem of how to keep him on the pitch and properly play 2 up front. Fingers crossed he can continue the role as he stated last weekend...but this is Jedi...course he can! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
