looks like he’s lacking in confidences as he’s overthinking a lot of situations but he’s still gives the team that ball in behind and can stretch the pitch.

A lot of it is aesthetics imo. Think he got in behind more than Odobert but people are more inclined for that kind of player. Needs to be better when he gets around the back definitely but a lot of that looks like nerves to me. At Forest he was more assertive in those areas.

Yeah, a lot of his play just screams of a player whose confidence is on the floor. He’s seems actively worried about controlling the ball which is a tell-tale sign.
 
I think he played ok, but he’s definitely one of the weakest players in the squad. I just can’t warm to him and I’d really like to see someone better in place of him.

The funny thing is Johnson is one of the most unaggressive players I've ever seen. He's so timid.

Odobert is on another planet from him. His touch is sharp,gets at the full back,can go inside and outside and wants to play like a winger. Even when he passes it back or sideways it’s with a purpose. Johnson might not have the ability but he could play more aggressively with his runs. He’s a kid trapped in a man’s body. He plays like a 14 year old.

nah he definitely wasn't bad but I get there's an agenda with him in that people don't necessarily like his style of play thus say he's played shite when he hasn't.

Against Leicester he was shite...today he was not.

He was 100% poor. We had a game against a terrible side who most of our players flourished against and he was on the periphery of the game the entire time.

To prove its not an """agenda"""" I'll cite some opinions from sports journalists who probably don't care about who he is. Not cherry picking, just gonna find the first few I find at random on a google.


Brennan Johnson

Worked hard but struggled to make an impact in the final third with the final pass or touch not going his way. 5

RW: Brennan Johnson - 5/10 - Skirted around the fringes of the contest and often ran into the dead end propped up by Mykolenko.

RW - Brennan Johnson - 5/10​

Had the opportunity to run with the ball on a couple of occasions, but was guilty of making the wrong decisions too often.

So yeah, definitely not an agenda. a 5/10 in a game you win 4-0 is pretty poor, and he was rated the worst player on the pitch for us by all these websites. Again, doubt they have any particular agenda against him, they just have eyes..
 
What ever our feelings we should support the player, he looks short on confidence and seems like he is forcing everything.

Ange will probably bench him at some point and that might be for his own good.

It’s getting to the point where we should consider getting rid of him.

If someone wants to come in and give us £30m for him, bite their hand off.

He is nowhere near good enough.

This old chestnut again......

If he's as shit as you all say; then no-one is gonna pay 30m quid for him.

If he's as shit as you all say; then anyone that wants him is not at a level where they can afford 30m quid players.

Ange tried to build momentum for him against in theory far weaker sides before tougher matches against Newcastle and Woolwich. So he got big minutes so far. Irony is that BJ seems far more suitable against stronger opponents than low blocks, and we cooked his confidence just before we really need him.
 
Sincerely, what is he good at? I can't see anything that he excels in. Today we played one of the weakest sides in the league, everyone had a very good game bar him. He couldn't beat his man in any opportunity, couldn't control the ball in good positions lots of times, killing some good attacking oppotunities every time the ball reached him. Ok, he has good numbers from last season, but he's also a very big problem when he gets the ball, he ends up wasting opportunities most of the time. We need a player better than him if we want to compete seriously. If the guy fails to show up against Everton he won't do better against most of the teams.

He has fantastic movement. Even in a poor game like today he managed to pop in the box and get a header from a good position which he put wide.
