Kenny Jackett: “I think Sean and Rasmus are a good partnership. I do rate Jack and he’s a good player, but for Rasmus the distribution and balance he gives on his left foot has helped the team.” #Pompey Portsmouth News

Therefore by implication he rates Raggett above Jack - oh my!!! PLEASE make this his last season at Fratton (Kenny that is, not Jack!).

I reckon Whatmough is off, it has been playing silly games with his contract situation.

Ruled himself out of the play offs last season too.

If you have inside info then I can't argue with that - but I reckon Jack's injury record might be prohibitive when it comes to other clubs paying him big wages, bit of a risk.

Harsh to hold the playoffs decision against him - his partner was about to give birth and he wanted to do his bit to keep them safe.

Kenny has always worked on the basis that those with the shirt have to lose it.

Jack had the shirt.

He then scored two own goals and got himself rashly sent off.

Raggett has not really done anything major to lose the shirt, and indeed has scored a couple in the correct goal of recent weeks.

What makes you think Jack deserves his place back? Nicolaisen currently has it.

Nicolaisen is the left-sided centre back currently, so Jack is competing with Raggett for the right-sided slot. Whilst Raggett has scored a couple of goals, he also has been culpable in some of the goals we've let it eg. Blackpool where he failed to put in a tackle and fell over, and generally had at least one mistake in him each game.

For me, Jack is a much better defender all round than Raggett and therefore once fit should be starting - play your best players.
