I thought JJ did well for us today. He grew in confidence as the match wore on, positive in taking his man on, tracked back well and a great ball in for Defoe to score from.

Decent enough tbh! But...I'd much rather Kent down the left so fingers crossed on that one.I thought JJ did well for us today. He grew in confidence as the match wore on, positive in taking his man on, tracked back well and a great ball in for Defoe to score from.
Been pleasantly surprised by JJ during pre-season. Pacy, direct and has good delivery. Whether he will be a regular starter or not remains to be seen (I suspect not as Im thinking Kent will return) but he will be a great addition from the bench.
Not at his best today for me.
The whole side, Davis apart, looked lethargic.
Today leaves more questions than answers.
As should be the case. Playing with an out and out winger is great when you’ve got a big target man, but when we’ve not, short passing interplay is more effective.Been very good in pre season but actually think he will be the one that misses out at the start of the season with Arfield coming into the left position
Possibly down to the way Killie played?Barasic and Jones are not on the same wavelength yet.
Jones drove at the Rovers defence, put in a great cross for Defoe but seemed oblivious to the overlap for almost all of the first half.
I have to agree with this. We didnt seem capable of getting into the next gear.Not at his best today for me.

* I also think that Gerrard gave up on Grezda mid-season and Moneyballed the best (availability vs cost) winger in the league out of frustration, to be honest, and that's how we got Jones: I also think he'll do well.
Edit: Typo.
I wasn’t going to be surprised by the lad’s workrate.Delivery has been better than expected thus far as has his work rate.
Like to see him get on the ball more and just go.
Soild start.
