He should be the stand-out player in the League right from the first touch of the ball each and every match. we have a very complicated role for our full backs so it will take a few games for anyone to get used to when to invert and when not to and also when to press and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 So what do we think of Jenko so far? Definitely not an Atkinson going to forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 He's not slouch, but not as agile and mobile as a full back should be. He's not playing his position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t he a traditional right full back? It’s not like we ask him to play striker. Defensively he’s okay but our fullbacks require to be creative, hence Atkinson was such a good asset for our system. He was brought in as a replacement for Atkinson but is nowhere near like for like. Makes you wonder why we got him? Perhaps also to give CB coverage. Anyway it all contributes to the lack of forward creativity and our one dimensional play at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Jenkinson isn't creative, which is fine - but the winger ahead of him needs to change his approach, slightly, if you imagine Bos as our medium term left back, the winger is going to get a very different level of support.

rass Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I actually think Jenkinson is quite solid and has been ok. Pretty hard to compare him to Atkinson, doubt it was ever the intention to replace that lad like for like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fullback role is quite unique, basically become a midfielder and allows the winger to rip wide and the overload occurs in the middle third. From memory Jamo was pretty shit for a while, but now he is probably one of the keys players in the build up. I think in time Jenkinson could get it, the only thing for me watching him, every pass he makes just seems very precise and not exactly natural. He looks like he's really concentrating on even the simpliest 5 yarder. It's not a criticism but more an observation, and I'm not really sure if it annoys me yet.

I haven't watched much of him, but my first impression was that he could be carrying a back condition that restricts the way his body can move, not necessarily in what he can ultimately do but how fluidly he can react and move. I have one myself and that's why I noticed it. Just as an example I should be square on to a drawer before I pull it open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed this “extreme focus and careful precise passing” but always contributed his to his height, general posture and perhaps some insecurity due to the Adelaide backpass fiasco. I can’t recall any reports on back issues but maybe JW is right. In forward play there is a big contrast between Jenko, Atkinson and Galloway and I start to wonder how this effects a Nabbout and our midfield.

Suffered a stress fracture in his lower back in 2011 that sidelined him for three months. Later injuries include an ACL and dislocated shoulder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jenkinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it actually is noticeable the difference, but in his last few games less so, but definitely alters the dynamic when he moves into midfield and has Nabbout waiting for the out ball. FWIW I think he has been a good addition and come finals might be really important, you dont play for Arsenal if you are a donkey. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we got him more so for CB coverage as well but will PK pick him over a fully fit Galloway you think as RB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to see PK dropping him. He rarely drops anyone, but at RB for me Galloway fully fit gives us more. As CB cover, thats probably our strongest area, Good, Nuno and Griffiths are superb, then on the fringe Stokes and that bloke from NPL seem like they can do a job. You add Jenkinson, credit needs to be given to our list management for this position. Goalkeeper and #10 is another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityWildcat Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 I thought his first touch was really poor ... repeatedly ... against Victory, given his pedigree. I do know that my fellow Forest fans in Nottingham were *really* pleased to see the back of him. Made no impression at the City Ground.
