Nothing to do with the player he might be talented but to wildly bid so late in the window I agree this certainly seems the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 This is such a un bruce transfer window. Strengthened in many areas apart from the key ones of left back and central defence. If Chester gets a long term injury, the season is a write off. Bizarre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I don't care that the window closed, or that every one of the rags are reporting that the deal is off. Until the VT mods move this to OT there is still hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Bruce has already been sacked, they just haven’t announced McDermott it yet. Welcome Thierry... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I think we were confident that this one was going to happen until he had a late change of mind, we then tried for plan B with time running out but Aberdeen decided they could reject our offer for their player. It's not as if we didn't try to bring in a centre half. The only option left is to play one of our current players if our overlords cannot be persuaded to let us have our JT back.

I'm frankly tired of the Jedinak is a terrible CB line so I decided to see what our record is when he starts at CB. Since Derby 2-0 defeat last season 10 games 4 wins 4 draws 2 losses. How is that bad??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bad in the sense that if you use those stats and extrapolate them across the season, we wouldn't have even got into last year's playoffs and would have been nearly thirty points off automatic promotion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen so many people saying Elphick deserved a chance. Frankly he's one of the worst CBs I've ever seen. In 28 games(started +60 mins) 8 wins 9 draws 11 losses Also 3 of the Jedi draws are the last 3 games where he wasn't at fault for any of the goals 3x Axel and Chester penalty Edited September 1, 2018 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at Bournemouth results after he came back from Achilles injury and only 1 win in 7.... against us lol. Draw against Baggies and the rest losses albeit City Pool Chelsea United and Everton. I reckon they shipped him off for a reason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he’s really good at CB then good for you. It’s all about opinions. To be fair against Reading I thought he’d done a good job up until he inexplicably let the ball go from a cross which forced Nyland into making two worldies. Granted it was Chester making the really costly mistake that game though. Another stat for you is that we haven’t kept a clean sheet all season presumably something ain’t right back there.
