| Eli Just 14:07 - Sep 9 with 3962 views | Treforys_Jack | This lad obviously has a lot of talent, we need to get behind him especially during the home games. He's going through a tough transitional period, the pace and intensity of the Championship maybe has caught him out. He'll definitely click sooner or later, just needs our support and hopefully Matos will manage him cautiously. [Post edited 9 Sep 15:12]

Imo he like a few others are trying too hard, hopefully he and the other newbies will calm down and we can be more cohesive in the final third. |  | |  |

That is very true so maybe Just shouldn't be starting in big games like last night? Maybe co ing off the bench would have less pressure? I suppose it could be even more intense if you are behind? |  | |  |

Just came as a professional sportsman who participated in World Cup Consequently , fans would have been under the impression he was of a standard to impress We’ve had Inoussa , Walta and young Wales brought in and every one is not “ ready” Maybe some are tired of this Good players always use fans derision to positive effect Fans have always groaned Without fans , football is dead Elijah needs to rise up |  |

| Eli Just on 00:47 - Sep 10 with 2617 views | Demitrius | Speaking as someone who follows the SPL he was excellent for Motherwell last season and yes, had a good World Cup. Something not quite right - maybe struggling to settle in a new city, new challenge ? Who knows but hopefully he'll come good |  |

| Eli Just on 07:07 - Sep 10 with 2506 views | Dr_Winston | I wouldn't say that it's obvious that he has a lot of talent. He had a decent World Cup but that's often an unreliable guage of quality. I wouldn't class having a good season in the SPL as proof of it either. He's also not a kid. He's reached his mid 20's without ever playing at a standard as high as the Championship. I think it's fair to say that we haven't played him in the position which he's historically been most effective in, which may be a big reason why he's struggling. That then raises the question why we're trying to shoehorn him into a role where we already had at least one perfectly good option who has since been bombed out. I think what's concerning me most is that there haven't even been any real flashes of quality. We've seen that with both Yeo and Opuku, whereas Just has basically just wafted about a bit. Still too early to write him off, but he needs some good games soon. |  |

What are actually his issues though? To me I could only see him holding the ball too long. I didn’t really notice any other glaring issues. Not sure what made him do this against Southampton, as it wasn’t so pronounced in his other appearances I’ve seen. He just didn’t want to pass the ball. Running into trouble every time. |  |

Really was only noticeable in yesterday game, right? I mean, he hasn’t pulled any trees in his first few games, but nothing like his performance against Saints |  |

You don’t need to be an analyst to answer a question about a point you made. Someone said he has issues. I asked what are these issues exactly. You said we are not analysts 🤷♂️ I was asking what issues the poster is talking about exactly. I just wanted clarity in my head so I could be on the same page. As I said, I don’t see a particular issue, bust a glaringly bad game for him. I also said that I don’t see anything special in him. If there are no particular issues and he’s just not as good as expected, maybe he will be totally fine and just needs to bulk up a bit and have a year or 2 in the championship, like Eom needed. |  |

Agree with the holding onto the ball too long, in his first couple of games he only took a limited amount of touches to move the ball along in the best cases to release Opoku, quickly bringing him into the game so Opoku could showcase the best side of him. In the first couple of game Just tracked back quickly and effectively, we have now seen him start making runs that end up in traffic, often the result of not releasing the ball earlier enough so he could possibly end up in a better position to receive the ball back. Yeo has had a number of good runs into the box but again crowded out not getting a shot away or pick the right pass. Is this running down blind Alley just a case of holding onto the ball too long, Eustaquio in the midfield knowing he has time to do so, he is looking for the ball which he can play looking for option off the ball?

Ho does not seem to be capable of doing anything correctly - is it Galbraith syndrome where he is just not happy here? Same with Eustaquio |  | |  |

Unhappy so soon? After the start we had? Something would surely have to be seriously wrong for even one player to be hacked off so soon. Maybe he's finding settling in Wales hard, maybe he just needs time? Maybe he needs to be played in a different position? Or maybe some posters are right and he's really not as good as we'd hoped and will fade away and be sold! |  | |  |

Estaquio?? He’s been very decent for us so far and will probably improve |  |
