We got into a position to make finals last year in large part because of Pedersen. As soon as he was dropped, our structure fell apart and we wilted. I’m very glad to see him back in the team because his maturity and structural importance is very very valuable.
Pedersen’s biggest strength is his ability to straighten us up. He sticks to structures, and makes it easier for his team-mates to do the same. He’s a very valuable contributor, and I’m confident he’ll show that again this weekend.
I feel like the last three weeks have been a case of missed opportunities and bad luck. Honestly, it’s harder to take than being plain crap; but at least there’s light at the end of the tunnel...
