I don’t have a problem with him, just don’t get this desperate clamour for him to start when all we have seen so far has been a disaster.

Saint86 Posted 13 May, 2021 Share Posted 13 May, 2021 If he's going to be given game time, it will be in CM alongside JWP, with Armstrong back out on the right. Or he'll come on as a late sub for Tella/Armstrong/redmond/walcott etc and they'll juggle the formation to put him in the middle. The manager and players see him in training everyday, if he's worthy of game time he'll get it.

Now we are safe i'd like to see him be given another go, a couple of games with no real pressure to see what he can do. Ralph has never seemed keen on him, choosing others to start for games such as Shrewsbury. I'm not convinced the tackle at Old Trafford is the only reason for him not playing since. We were desperate for players on that fateful night and I think Ralph just decided to throw him in because other alternatives (Romeu, Diallo & Smallbone) were all injured. With hindsight he could have played Armstrong in defensive midfield but at the time he wasn't considered for that position. I have absolutely no idea whether Ralph just doesn't see a potential Premiership player or there is some sort of attitude problem, but I still don't think that the infamous tackle is the only reason for his continued omission. I suspect that he will disappear at the end of the season to another club (Belgium was mentioned in January), I just hope that it doesn't come back to haunt us. He certainly wasn't pulling up any trees in the U-23 team in 2020, so maybe he just isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are safe i'd like to see him be given another go, a couple of games with no real pressure to see what he can do. That game at old Trafford was the low point for squad depth - we fielded 11 "first team" players from the entire 18man squad, two of those being keepers, and only 8 (being generous) being players you'd expect to get any real game time normally. So whilst I don't disagree that it would be nice to see him have a run. This is a player who for most of the fans has purely been built up on here, who was clearly a long way down the pecking order prior even to his league debut, and who the manager sees daily and has yet to think is good enough. Given our finances and necessary squad rebuild, I'd rather we try to bank a few million pounds (through league finish), than drop positions due to the manager testing a player he doesn't think is ready - as frustrating as that may be for us fans 🤷♂️ Edited 13 May, 2021 by Saint86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 14 May, 2021 Share Posted 14 May, 2021 I am as confused as you all after Ralph's comments. On the one hand, he says we know we have a talented player and I will give him a chance, but he also says we want to get as many points on the board as we can with our strongest team. And he clearly doesn't see Janko as part of the strongest team. It's now or never, Ralph. We have 3 games left. Give him a chance.

Dusic Posted 14 May, 2021 Share Posted 14 May, 2021 (edited) Seems a clear cut situation to me. - Manager has a talented rookie who he thinks has potential but is a way off being near the level of the existing first team players - Jankewitz, despite never really putting together a consistent run of top performances in the U23s thinks he deserves some first team minutes, isn't getting any. Has interest from a mid level Eredivisie team (was it Groningen?) and gets a bit sulky. - Relationship with club and Manager goes south to the extend of submitting a written transfer request which is rejected. - In the midst of a massive injury crisis, Jankewitz gets a chance largely as the only remaining option and spectacularly fucks it up, leading to a huge and embarassing defeat for the Manager, tarnishing his reputation with Saints fans and the wider audience. - Player who wasn't really trusted by the Manager before this, and had been pushing hard to leave, has not been given another minute on the pitch, plus shortly after the injured players returned. - Manager then says, quite rightly, that the next time the player gets a chance he needs to take it but that he isnt on the same level as those playing. - At the same time and in the context of Crocker's recent comments about the attitude of some players in the Academy, this sends the message that the club decides when and how you progress, not any single player. Likely outcome: Player leaves this summer as he only has a year left anyway and it doesnt seem to be a happy situation, both before the Utd game and even worse afterwards.
