Brennan Johnson

[Tricky]

Perhaps we should give the lad a break from the action. Not nice to hear and see people turning on him. Probably be better if Steve leaves him out for a bit for BJ's own sake really.

This is my view too, give the lad a break for a bit.
Playing him every game the pressure is building and the penalty miss is the result.
He is a great talent, let's nurture it.

He should have been dropped before Saturday though.

Dropping him against Brighton could have a detrimental affect on his mind and confidence, as he will see it as being a punishment for the penalty miss.

The best thing Steve can do is play BJ tomorrow night and hope he uses it to his full advantage by playing out of his skin. If he isn't pulling up trees, then hook him and sit him on the bench for a few games to get his head right. If he comes on for the last 30 minutes or so, he will have the pace and energy to get past tiring defences
