Andy Johnson int a footballer

I don't know, mate - did he? nt

 

It was highlighted in his column.

They were blowing 5 mins into the 2nd half, after a not particularly end to end 1st half either.

 

RE: It was highlighted in his column.

I hadn't read it. I must admit Johnson and Devaney looked particularly shagged towards the end of their respective games...

He is a good player but we didn't see the best of him because there was no overlap for him, Souza just stayed back rather than allowing him that one-two overlap.

Thought Johnson looked good, sort of no nonsense midfielder we've needed for a while.

Well we have got this lot for the next 2or 3 years, i hope he can mould them into a decent team. Got their contracts, and their work permits. I think most of them will be sleeping peacefully tonight.

 

RE: It was highlighted in his column.

Both had worked hard and Dev was all over the place tackling back etc.

A few near us were having a go near the end saying the players looked tires, as my mate said - it was a hot day, first match and they were 2 down (at the time), trying to chase the game and the ball down, players do seem to be hit by fatigue more when they are chasing the game.

Glad I didn't come on here last night if this was the sort of threads we had - FFS will people just back off and give the team a few games to settle and get to know each other?!

 

that's far more eloquent than you managed yesterday fella

 

I wasn't best pleased at the time

 

RE: It was highlighted in his column.

Agreed, mate - a disappointing result, admittedly, and a sorry way to start the season but surely, I thought, too early for even the Barnsley Boo Boys to make a start getting on the team's back.

Alas, not...

A great deal of positives to be taken out of the performance and some, albeit scattered, examples of what the majority of the new signings have to offer.

 

Thought he did OK nt

I agree with you about Johnson mate. Steady i though on saturday. Souza thought was playing out of position. Cleary in my eyes a center half. Played at left back to accomodate reid. who isn't good enough.
