    Top win today, but its sods law we now have to face the smarmy dwarf and his "Wilbrahamivich" (really?) without Scowen, Hourihane or Roberts. I worry. Sorry.

    Wasn't it 'Wilbrahamovic'? After Aaron Wilbraham scored their late winner today? Either way, his joke was ****.

    Glass half full. If we have to play anyone while we have a thin squad I'm glad it's the guy who is such a poor manager that he had a squad capable of not just promotion but double Wembley wins and had them bottom of the table due to incompetence.

    Love how many people conveniently ignore the fact that Johnson took us on a brilliant run before being poached by Bristol. He's not doing too bad there either. You can dislike the bloke but to call him a poor manager is a bit daft.

    You mean after Patrick crane told him to sign hammill? After 10,000 fans and the owner practically forced him to change his entire philosophy and adopt the tactics that all is mere mortals had been crying out for for months? Yes when he did that we went on a run

    The FACT is that we only went on a run after he was pressured to change things

    Sure, but he did spend 15m in the close season, so that'll help, yes, they did get nearly that in for Jonathan Kodjia to Aston Villa, but he's hardly operating on a shoestring.

    None of that is "FACT" though is it. He's a decent young manager who did well for us. Well enough to get a move to the championship. And he's doing a pretty good job at this level also.

    It isn't a fact that we were in a relegation place and had a dramatic upturn in fortunes and went on a winning run when the manager (sorry head coach) drastically changed his tactics under pressure from the fan base? Righto

    Sorry he was awful for us. He may one day become a good manager. For us he was spectacularly bad. In League 1 once we had shorn the deadwood we are a 'big team' with a big budget. He had us bottom of the table playing awful football. And he sounded like Joe Pasquale.

    Forget the terrible football, that was the deal breaker for me from day one. I had a more masculine voice the day I got bored at a wedding and starting inhaling the contents of the balloons.

    No it isn't. You can't blame someone for doing badly then refuse to give credit when they do well. His role didnt change during this time. Anyway, it appears this kind of logic is lost on the anti Johnson brigade, so I guess there's no point continuing the argument. Hecky is our boss now, move on folks.
