brucey Posted 10 May 2017 Share Posted 10 May 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4232848/Luton-Town-s-James-Justin-pace-determination.html WHAT HAS HE GOT? James Justin has progressed from a successful youth side into Luton's first team. Should the full back keep his place in a team who are on track to gain promotion, he will not be embarrassed by the step up to League One. Playing in a back four, He appears to have enough pace and is a right-footed player with square shoulders, a fair height and a determination to compete at the back post for defensive headers. When I last saw him defending in his area he made a great sliding tackle to deny a certain goal. This showed timing and bravery as a slip would have meant a penalty. I liked the way he followed the winger closely and twice stepped inside, getting in good blocks. He certainly doesn't lack courage. When I see a young player in first-team football, I accept that the coaches are good judges not only of ability but also of his character. Otherwise they would not have promoted him. WHAT DOES HE NEED? He needs to work on his crossing, when to hit the space at the near post and when to aim beyond the far post. His combination play is sound but there is less short passing at this level. He will also find few real wingers to contend with. Many teams in League Two employ a diamond or a narrow 4-2-3-1 system. The more wingers he faces, the more scouts will be able to make a considered judgement. However, the signs are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in desperate need of a square-shouldered right back. Danny Simpson is way too round-shouldered for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFS Posted 10 May 2017 Share Posted 10 May 2017 Good back post defender and can't cross - sounds like a young Simmo to me although that cross recently for Vards' volley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 10 May 2017 Share Posted 10 May 2017 Interesting how our transfer strategy has changed rapidly, from signing a bunch of African internationals under Ranieri, to signing a bunch of lower league players under Shakey. At least it's much less of a gamble price-wise, and if things don't work out they can easily go to the U23s/on loan without anyone moaning, so we'll see what happens!

1969 Posted 11 May 2017 Share Posted 11 May 2017 I used to play football with James's dad and was chatting to him recently about his progress. He'd only just signed his first pro contract at that time and had just broken into the first team - pretty sure he got man of the match when they played Villa(?) in the cup. If he does sign presumably it's with the future in mind although having a back up right back cant hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 11 May 2017 Share Posted 11 May 2017 He was originally a central midfielder but has played right back, left back and left wing this season for Luton. It would suggest he's comfortable on the ball and probably inexperienced as a full back. This might be one to improve the development squad and maybe training alongside Simpson and Fuchs could learn a lot? Six foot tall and sounds strong, quick and athletic if the "square shoulders" are to be believed which sounds an excellent profile for a full back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked with quite a few non-league players last year, and have been linked with a few foreign players this year. Although we are likely to see a change in the type of players we bring in its way too early to start making assumptions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
