Carl Jenkinson

Very good. Shame Javi Garcia pulled off the most cynical foul of all time right at the end.

Yeah, really good performance today.

He's really quick too!

Was our best player today, not that he will be given any credit.

That and when he burned Lescott in the first half showed his stamina. I think he's improving on the ball as well.

He did what Theo should do to defenders three times today.

He has been awlsome :bow:.

Time for a GHELkers statue in place of Henry's tbf.

We'll see. The real test for him is when he moves from being the kid from Cheltenham who's doing well - bless, to the serious footballer who could make a few quid for the hangers-on. Then we'll see what his temperament is like. No point even trying to guess beforehand.

When it comes to money , you can't trust any player anymore . Ronaldo , RVP , Rooney ,Barry ..etc.. give us a good lesson .
But you can't deny the obvious progress the kid is making in such a short time . I bet he will be a fantastic footballer . Whether we will keep him for a long time or not is another question . Every player need some financial assurance for their future and some trophy for their pride . We need to match that at some stage . We can't continue to blame them forever . Who would want to remain in mediocrity ? No even you , I suppose .

Gibbs is the one to watch out for. He looks like he has a very nice ceiling in his cave.

Are you still convinced Jenkinson will not be a top defender ? I would like to hear from you again . I know it is too early to judge his progress but what we are seeing now is very very positive . Good sign of a star in the making .

Had a nice game. The his stamina is mental. And physical. No-one I'd rather see 'make it' so hope you're right.
