Exactly and even if there wasn't a CB playing at RB we also have Elphick who while not great is better than Jedi at CB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 We have a perfectly good enough CB in the team, hes playing at **** right back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 could fix this now. Move Axel in to CB, Elmo to RB and Jedi into DM, Barnie and Green can have the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizzler Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 So **** stupid. Exactly what he did against Sheffield United. Bruce is so **** negative. Just play Tuanzebe at CB and Elmo RB. Jedinak at fault too, such a bad pass. Absolute **** donkey. His passing is woeful for a centre mid, absolutely woeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is, I have no idea why we are playing him at RB when we have Elmohamady available and Adomah on the bench. Yes he is. He can fill in at right back if need be, but as you can see from his lack of offensive play, he is not a right back by trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 You can definitely blame a professional footballer for not being capable of weighting a simple back pass properly whilst also acknowledging that he shouldn't be playing there anyway. It's more Bruce's fault if Jedinak gets caught out of position due to not being comfortable at CB, not when he can't manage to do something you'd expect of literally every player on the pitch regardless of where they play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Same stupid mistakes being repeated over and over again which will probably result in more dropped points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just put Adomah instead of Jedinak and things would hopefully go well. Strange tactics, Tuanzebe seem good in high balls so I think we don’t need Jedinak at CB this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me but bringing on an attacking player for a defensive player would give Bruce a heart attack. Please keep these silly ideas to yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedinak has consistently proven that he is shit at CB, whilst proving that he is pretty good at DM. For some reason, with two other CB's at the club, he has decided to play Jedinak at CB, and push out our newly re-signed CB to play at RB whilst we have 487 RB's at the club, one of whom is currently playing at LB. Jedinak has so far had two fairly predictable howlers, one of which has cost a goal. I think that the point people are trying to make is that Jedinak should not be playing at CB, and since Bruce decided to move all the pieces around and play him there, he is responsible for the results of doing so.

bobzy Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 James Chester quite clearly prefers, and will get first dibs, at playing right-of-centre at the back. Alan Hutton has established himself as our first choice left-back, generally. Personally, I wouldn't chuck Tuanzebe to left-of-centre defence - he is entirely right footed and doesn't bother bringing the ball inside at all (rightly so). El Mohammady is more than capable as a wing back but looks suspect defensively at right back. The only thing that should have probably happened is that Elphick retained his place over Jedinak - but people weren't happy with him last game either. Shrug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2018 Frustrating to concede from such a sloppy mistake. Bruce needs to be a bit braver in his team selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this make it clear for you? So Jedinak playing at CB means he is no longer capable of kicking a football properly. Yep, loud and clear.
