Well there is a drop off in technical quality between Sagna and Jenks, and Jenks is definitely not as precocious as a right back as Sergio Ramos was, but Jenks has absolutely unreal athleticism. Don't forget that Jenks is only 20. Sagna didn't have a first team appearance for Auxerre until he was 21. And then only developed when he was 24. Jenks is as promising as Gibbs was at that age. He needs to improve his decision-making, but we ask our wingbacks to do a lot. He's a good defender, but he has to choose when to support the attack better, and not rely on his excellent athleticism to get him out of trouble.

We always seem to forget just how young many of our players are when they begin to see significant time. They can't be expected to just step in and play with the poise of a 26 year old.

Jenks will be okay.
