Jordan Jones

[simplythebest 11,453]

Improving every game 

[pcbear 10,924]

If he can perform like he did today and Thursday night  on a consistent basis the need for Kent might not be so pressing, its a tough old game.

[RockwellGers 14,726]

He's showing a lot of potential. Rapid as fuck but about 50% of the time he runs right into the player, sure he'll improve though

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Hes proving me wrong , gaining more confidence every game.........

[dee9 3,974]

I wasn't overly excited when we signed him but hes sure making me eat my words.

He's been outstanding these last couple of games. Looks like hes only going to get better aswell.

Delighted with him so far.

Better than Kent?

Folk seem to forget it actually took Kent a wee while to really get going - Jones has started really well if he keeps improving that’s fantastic as he’s ours not a loan. 

[beararse 6,386]

Gonnae buck the trend on this thread.

Thought he would do a turn for us when he signed and so far he has done nothing to make me think otherwise.

Thank your mrs for a decent post on your behalf 😁

Big open pitches he has the pace to do something, he'll be murder against the likes of the sheep up north etc

He'll likely not be played on games that dont suit his qualities. Yes or no for him so far?

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,880]

I always thought it was crazy that people were so quick to write him off when in the past year we’ve seen the likes of Morelos, Kent, Tav, Jack & even Halliday all come on leaps and bounds under the management team. 

Much like they were, Jones is a bit rough around the edges in certain areas but he has a lot of good attributes and with some good coaching he could become a really good player

We’ve obviously signed him with the intention of working with him in training to smooth out those edges and we are already seeing that it’s starting to pay off.

I did say he was gonna be good  but I didn't realise how direct he is.  Every time he gets the ball he's on the attack. Going to get even better.

No for now, if he hasn't the quality to play away from home then he's not good enough, that could change but right now still a no for me, or better still, we need better, decent backup

Ryan who?

I wasn't keen on signing him at the time but I've been very impressed with the improvement of a lot of our players under the coaches that SG has brought in with him and thought that maybe once Jones and Stewart had settled in and worked with the background team then hopefully they  could add to their game, [hopefully the same with Barker, Hastie etc],I still would like to see Kent come in  but if JJ's last two performances are an indication of his future form then Kent if he were to still come in will have a fight on his hands, the backroom staff at Gerrards disposal are a major asset in our challenge for the title and deserve a great deal of praise for the form and fitness of the squad.

[Tiger Shaw 30,611]

Far better player than I thought. 

I like him

He's part of what Gerrard describes as his armoury. Different options for different games. He played away from home on Thursday and was my motm. He's actually likely to be more effective away from home.

Guess it's more about what you want and expect rather than what the gaffer does and a player who is delivering exactly that tbh.

If any team opens up against us he'll be fine, but when teams sit 11 men behind the ball away from home he wont have the space to use his pace,

Then dont play him away from home in games when he wont have the space to use his pace.

Use an Arfield/Stewart or the likes in those games.

I think having different players suited to different games is required.

Buying a player with the combined abilities of both Arfield and Jones would probably set us back about £15m in today's market.

[josmc 525]

He loves the Rangers and you can see that from how he’s playing. Will be a massive player for us this year. No full back will enjoy that pace running at them.

I agree mate watched him in a couple of internationals for Northern Ireland and he looked the part. I think once he settles in proper he will be a good addition to the team.

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

Was unsure on him signing, but the stuff's there.

Loves playing for that jersey. His commitment is unquestionable thus far and he will be doing the oppo plenty damage. Great fucking attitude.

Think he will shine for us. He get's Gerrard!

Not quite yet.

Has to do it a bit more consistently (which Kent was guilty of before) and also do it in an Old Firm.

I know it's not Rangers but he has already had success against the scum albeit in a Kilmarnock jersey. So he at least knows how to score against the scum.

Tav will be happy, gonna win us a good few penalties. 

Or like today, not given penalties. 

To be fair the one RTV kept going on about was outside the box.
