    I was a Johnson fan but his comments re Sunday have wound me up. He's our guest but he's there to scout our players. Wamker. If I was paddy Cryne I'd withdraw the invitation just as he's about to go into the ground. ........

    He told The Post: "I'm treating it as a scouting mission and I'll be taking a close look at three or four players on show.
    "It will be good to see all my friends and former colleagues at Barnsley and I really do hope they go on and lift the trophy.
    "But I'm with Bristol City now and my main focus will be on looking at players rather than having a day out."
    Johnson guided Barnsley to a penalty shoot-out win over Fleetwood Town in the Northern Area final in February, his final game in charge of the League One club.
    He was unveiled as City's new head coach 48 hours later, since when he has guided the Robins to six wins from nine matches.
    He added: "I was asked to do the Sky commentary for Sunday's game, but told them I was scouting the game. I'm not sure, but I think they've asked Steve Cotterill to do it instead."

    If we're in the championship next season he's got no chance of getting any of our players. Ballax to him, he's history.

    Where does it say he's there to scout our players? Maybe the 3-4 he's looking at are all Oxford. Probably very unlikely but it's a possibility and you're just presuming.

    Anyway even if we stay in league one I can't see any of our players being at Brizzle next season. Our better players should they leave us will get better championship clubs looking at them.

    Can't help but thinking he's saying that to keep the Bristol City fans happy.

    what a disgraceful attitude when hes being treated as a 'special' guest by Cryne. hes got the nerve to not only turn up and scout on the day, but he makes it worse by publicly announcing it in the papers. what a scumbag!!

    I'd be interested to know how many of them would want to play for him again.

    How long did it take him to work out how to get the best out of Winnall & Hourihane & he shattered the confidence of the goalies & defenders with his constant chopping & changing of personnel & formation

    You'd have thought the dozy ****er would've spent enough time watching them on the training ground.

    Think the best response to him showing up will be a chorus of "who are ya?"

    If those comments are true..........and there's nothing to doubt that they are not

    Then the silly little foooker needs to get as much abuse as he can possibly get at Wembley

    I wish I was going now..........just to find him

    Absolute disgrace..........he has kicked Barnsley in the teeth, after the club and directors have held out their hand of friendship to him

    Seems an odd thing for him to say if he's a guest. Charge him for a ticket if he wants to complete his scouting mission.
