COMMENTARY

Well this is quite a turn up for the books as Aston Villa midfielder Mile Jedinak is a player who normally receives a lot of criticism from fans on average, and it’s odd that supporters are urging Dean Smith to play him on Saturday against Ipswich Town. After journalist Matt Maher provided an update via his personal Twitter on the 34-year-old defensive midfielder to reveal he was back in training and had played 60 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly, some Villans supporters couldn’t help but admit their side missed him. Jedinak hasn’t featured in the Championship for the Villans since September and it seems absence has made the heart grow fonder. While some acknowledge that the veteran did have fans turn against him, probably due to his performances dipping with him being a slow presence in midfield, others just point out how much stronger he made the team defensively. While Jedinak has only just got over the injury that has kept him on the sidelines recently, it seems that fans believe he is worth taking the risk on. This may be a reflection of how fed up they are with their side’s defensive vulnerabilities rather that testament to Jedinak’s ability however.
