Brennan Johnson

[Paplane]

Johnson is the weak link.

Every time the balls goes near him, he either runs away from it....it bounces off him.....he gets tackled easily........or some other way of losing the ball.

A lot of people can see it very clearly.

A lot of people are also blinded like Cooper and think that keep playing him will suddenly make him better - whereas what he needs is to be benched and kicked up the ass..........like his stint in League 1.

He is not cutting it.......he is poor defensively and others nothing in terms of holding the ball up..........and in the current time he needs to be dropped and we get a stronger ball holding/passing midfield in place.

If we do not..........expect Brighton to run rings around us tonight and it will be another 90 minutes of chasing shadows.........

At some point even an idiot realises doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result will not work.

Not just him is all I'm saying. Our defence has been shocking JOHNSONS FAULT. Midfielders can't string 2 passes together JOHNSONS FAULT and please don't call me an idiot because I bet I know more about Forest than you realise. All I'm saying is HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THATS BEEN A LET DOWN. If you're going to say drop a player then be consistant with other players as well. Ok so if he gets dropped and we still get beat by 2/3 or 4 goals who are you going to blame then ???

100% agree, I don't get why people need to have a scapegoat, no-one is claiming he's been great (joint top scorer this season though... :giggle: ) However I could make a long list of issues for every player in our team this year and their flaws/mistakes. 

If you want game defining mistakes, how about Awoniyi missing an open goal vs Bournemouth or McKenna's horrendous mistake vs Bournemouth or Boly's defending vs Fulham or Henderson keeping vs Villa or whoever was at fault vs Everton (Worrall?) or Toff's handball on Sat or Awoniyi's sitter vs Leicester or the defending vs Leicester or the defending vs Spurs for Kane's goal. 

It's a team effort to be this bad! But fine S**t on our best player (on paper) and future of the club. That'll help us turn it around.

I've been calling for him to be dropped for a number of weeks now and this general call now from the fans for him to be dropped is a result of the missed penalty and the stuff that JJ said about him on Match of the Day. I've been seeing it for weeks now. His influcene on games has receeded and his confidence is shot. If Cooper drops him tonight it'll suddenly be a big deal now after all the attention he's received. If he had dropped him 2 or 3 games ago, maybe when the decision was made to go back to a back 4, then no one would have batted an eyelid. Bad management by the coach imo.
