Brennan Johnson

[wassy04]

I think he relies on the 'Hail Mary" that at some point in the 90 minutes Johnson might actually get the ball, not lose it, do something with it and score.

However, for the other 85 minutes its like having 10 men.

Cooper needs to bench Johnson for a few games........use him as an impact sub to run against tired legs and defenders on a yellow card.  Finish strong.....and win games in the last 20 minutes.......not lose them.

The 10 men thing is excessive and tiring. He actually defended well, playing in basically a new position last night. Made a lot of runs that didn't get anywhere due to a lack of service but that doesn't mean he wasn't playing.

I'm not denying that it might not be a terrible idea for him to get rotated, I'm sure Dennis would prefer to play right.

Although, up until the second half yesterday MGW had equally done nothing of any note, just pointless flicks and repeatedly losing the ball. Plus Dennis started well but he lost the ball so many times just running and getting tackled, it was so frustrating. I get Brennan is this week's scapegoat but he is not the only weakness up there.
