James Justin

[Arriba Los Zorros]

He has been absolutely brilliant. Made the step up par excellence second half of this season.

 

Think he'll be one of our best players next season.

[HighPeakFox]

Absolutely fantastic today.

[StanSP]

Have enjoyed his performances. Got some composure about him and loves a last ditch tackle, which for now to me shows good recovery whether it's from his own error or a team-mates.

 

Seems to be versatile, too. Looks comfortable at RB/RWB and even now at CB based on today. 

Definitely does help us with options in the future, even more so if we want Ricardo to attack more and Justin can slot in in the defensive slot.

[RobHawk]

Our Motm for me today. Given he was playing in league one this time last year I think it's fair to say this lad has a bright future.

[TMELcfc]

Best of the back three today. Evans been a monster most the season, come back from break playing like Lee Evans 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Great signing, thrown in at the deep end towards the end of the season and has coped well. Can play anywhere along the back line too, a valuable asset and will be here for many years to come IMO.

[Webbo]

The last 10 games have done him the world of good. Still behind Ricardo obviously but no worries about him as cover.

[PaddyS]

He's looked unbelievably good on the ball a few times recently. Got some real skill and composure about him.

[Lesta2014]

My MOTM today 

[Jaspa]

Hope he can play LB otherwise he'll probably have to get used to the bench again. Can see Chilly going and Ricky staying for one more.

 

He's done well in his first season. Room to grow, still very young. Huge task for him to get into the England setup though, wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he has an Irish/Jamaican granny all of a sudden.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Anyone expecting a player in Justin’s situation to come in and get everything right straight off the bat is deluding themselves in what it takes to become a proper player at this level. 

 

But you have to say the way he’s acquitted himself during a difficult induction has been nothing less than first class.

 

He’s clearly shown the qualities and more importantly the mentality we saw in him to make him a significant addition and want to spend time in educating him at this level.

 

These early signs can point to this particular investment being another astute bit of business by the club.

[CosbehFox]

A lot to like about his effort today. Made errors and then made up for them through pure determination. 
 

For a lad like him to come in as he has done to the background of his Dad passing away in March is an immense effort 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

This run has done him  world of good. He looks a proper Prem player. I didn't think that in the autumn away to Burton. Take a bow lad.

[dayday]

I had my doubts before, but today really come of age, if anything good has come from our injuries is knowing that Justin and Thomas are more than capable at this level 

[deejdeej]

I thought he was awesome today being played out of position, good on him.

His best performances have actually come as part of a back 3. There could be room for both him and Ricardo on the pitch yet

[Gevans_97]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before - but just reading an article in the Athletic and apparently JJ’s dad passed away in April. 

 

Can’t give the lad enough credit for the way he played and pushed through in what must have been such a difficult time.

Wow. Those are the kinds of things that put your life into perspective. What an absolutely top lad and when we're back in the stands, hopefully we can give him the applause he deserves. 

[Guest An Sionnach]

Overall , his strength, intelligence and quick recovery have been most notable , passing and spatial awareness will certainly improve and he has a great teacher in Jonny , who has done so much for Caglar's game. Just cut out the kneejerk reactions if he has the odd bad game. Perfection in a defender is rare , even Baresi made the odd cock-up.

[Dames]

I actually think he'd make a good centre back either in a 3 or a 2.

 

Joe Gomez played at full back (Both right and left) before settling into CB and I can see quite a few similarities in their styles of play. Might be a good path for JJ to continue on.

[StanSP]

Called up for u21s next month 

[Ashley]

Trained today with the senior England team along with Ryan Sessegnon. No real left back in the team however Mings can play there. Wonder if one out the two will receive a full call up.

Wow that’s impressive.

[AjcW]

A great experience for him I’m sure.

 

[Raw Dykes]

How good would it be for JJ to take Chilwell's place in the England team straight away?
