Re: Brennan Johnson
But also has got in to 2 positions to have those chances... He's a good finisher so I'd say that's a positive sign. Keep doing that and the goals will comeBumble wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 1:11 pm Has missed two big chances in the past two games.

Re: Brennan Johnson
I’ll take a big chance that got saved over twatting into the twilight zone off the shin, or missing the ball completely as has been the case for the most part these last couple of years.

Hasn't shown it yet, but yes he is a good finisher. Have you ever watched his goals from his time at Forest and Spurs?

Shame about the first chance, it was actually a lovely bit of footwork prior to that.
I’m sure he’ll chip in over the season, but I don’t think he should be starting.

Re: Brennan Johnson
He should always be a sub, with his combination of pace, finishing ability (it is in there somewhere) and general inability to really play football

Many such examples of players bursting onto the scene as kids and then fizzling out as they age.
He is a very, very limited footballer and when there is no end product he looks even worse.
If ever a lad is suited to a 20 minute cameo at the end of games it’s him.

Re: Brennan Johnson
Not really how it works is it, by that definition Dibling wouldn't find form and start looking a world beater.Bumble wrote: Sat Sep 19, 2026 4:34 pm We can only judge the player we have not the player from clips many years ago.

He's capable of doing what he's done previously, just needs to get that feeling of scoring back. He's getting in great positions so it doesn't take much to suddenly go on a scoring run.
Happy to drop Grealish and play George and Dibling tbh, but if not we need pace and goals which he will bring if one or two suddenly go in.

Re: Brennan Johnson
His performance today was appalling, I can't believe he wasn't dragged off earlier. Unsure what he's doing in training for Moyes to pick him over the alternatives. Truly awful player

Re: Brennan Johnson
I know he's the new boo boy, but he's getting in positions to score. Those who can't understand why he's starting over Dibling fail to understand that Johnson whilst not converting the chances is getting in to the right positions, which is more than half the battle.
Would Dibling be getting in those positions? Would George?
Johnson has movement far beyond any of our other wingers, and we need goals! Keep playing him, keep telling him to get in those positions and the goals will come.
I know others don't see it, but I have total faith that if played regularly this guy will hit double figures this season.
The rest of his game is quite poor, and so when not scoring I understand the negativity, but we aren't a team that scores many goals, and this guy, much like Barry, is getting on the positions to have big chances... Score one, score another and the floodgates will open.

Re: Brennan Johnson
Team is so lacking in goal threat that we need to make the most of those likely to score. Johnson is our most direct forward and should be utilised. Few forwards play for 90 minutes these days so giving him an hour from the start or 20 off the bench is sensible.

Re: Brennan Johnson
He'll do okay for us if we give him a bit of time to get his confidence back, he's clearly got some talent. The movement and touch to turn was lovely and if he's got a bit more confidence he's slotting that and we're on here talking about an absolute banger of a goal.
