Certainly hasn't been a major loss has he?

The games Jagielka played in before injury:

Wins 5
Draws 4
Losses 3

The games Jagielka missed through injury:

Wins 6
Draws 5
Losses 2
Which teams were played before and after the injury Dave ?

It was after Jagielka got injured that we started leaking silly goals to average teams.
Think back to our first ten games, that was when we played all the top teams.

Out of those currently above us in the table we played 7 matches with Jagielka
Out of those currently above us in the table we played 6 without Jagielka

Not much in it.

My point was that we'd hardly notice the difference, and I think that's borne out to a degree.

If I'm honest, I think he does add slightly more security. I'd rather we had a Jagielka/Funes Mori CD pairing and either leave Stones at RB or leave him out altogether and play Oviedo or Galloway at RB.

Actually the defensive implosion times perfectly with James Mccarthy's injury.

We were winning against Bournemouth until he went off, then all hell broke loose.
 
I'd say that game was fading from us before the injury, but its interesting that our resolve returned defensively with Besic's inclusion, probably the player with most similarities to mccarthy

McCarthy was keeping them at bay almost singlehandedly. I think you're right though. We don't defend as a team well so it we need at least one lid running around and getting stuck in.

and besic coming in seems to have stabilised things and besic is v similar to mccarthy....
