Eastie Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Look a far better team with jedinak in the deep role rather than whelan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted January 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2018 Whelan's got to stay out of the line-up, at least for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villianusa Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 He had a couple of big errors that cost us a number of points,, but it doesn't make him a bad player. He did well for the rest of the season, and help us get into a good position in the league. Glad he wasn't playing today though as Jedinak is a better player.

The problem is he is prone to a big error every game. He should have to earn his place back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 He's a good pro and good at what he does. However, the kind of player he is suits a certain type of team and not a team fighting to win promotion. I feel much more comfortable with Jedi sitting ahead of an attacking duo of Grealish and Hourihane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I might be in the minority here but I don't think him being out of the side has had any bearing on results of late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being out meant jedinak didn't play cb. I think that has had a big impact on 2 clean sheets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Jedinak is much better as DM. I actually reckon if we offered Stoke would take him back. They are in major trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player in any given game is going to make a mistake every game over 90 minutes. A big error, I would say not. sadly for Whelan, he made two in back to back games, so a number of people forget all the good work he has down.

I see where you are coming from but a lot of the time it depends on what the opposition do with it. For example against Brentford he gave the ball away but there was still a lot to do for the finish. Big error was probably wrong choice of words. I think he is very careless with the ball way too often. Maybe he needed a rest after so many games as he does cover a lot of ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of the same. Whelan was in the team every week when we had our previous good run this season. He's had a couple of really poor performances of late so I'm glad Jedinak is getting a go in there. But I don' really subscribe to this train of thought that we're a much worse side with Whelan in it. Some of our best performances this season have been with Whelan in the side.
