Dave J Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 18 hours ago, srsmithusa said: Regarding fan criticism. I asked Paul Faulkner once if criticism from the fans bothered him (and IMO he endured as many or more personal attacks on VT as Steve Bruce has.) He essentially said. “You can’t let it bother you. It means the fans are passionate. It’s that passion that keeps the entire sport succcessful, so you learn to be grateful for the passion and the energy and realize they want Villa to succeed.” Memo to Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 We have arguably the best CDM in the championship and are pigeon holing him in a position he's never played in before to compensate for Bruce's inability to find anyone else with those qualities who can actually play the position or bring out some of those qualities in any of the existing players. Says it all unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rated him as one of the better and most underrated CDM's in the Premier League when he was at Crystal Palace. I think people underestimate what he adds in terms of his mentality. I can't think of a player who is more self-disciplined and leads by example better than Jedinak. He has some fairly rare qualities which make a bigger difference than most people realise.

So, you see it as a “like to” to “reign in” the expression of other posters? Kinda defeats the purpose of a forum doesn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjay Posted September 21, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Jedinak- "Boss, why am i on the bench all of a sudden". Bruce- "You're marking Forestieri son, quick!!! he is stretching, get after him!!!!! And ive realised the whole joke falls down because he wouldn't actually be on the bench either, being suspended. Least i realised he couldn't start Edited September 21, 2018 by Cjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
