hirstyno9 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Recalled to the Jamaica team at the age of 36, Jermaine Johnson scored a late penalty in a 3-1 defeat at Peru today. With so little football going on this caught my attention, to be honest I thought his career was over. A brilliant servant to SWFC, during some dark days he provided some pace, flair and cracking goals. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Aye couldn't cross but he never stopped running, we need someone at least a little like him. We're crying out for pace !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ironic thing is, last season we were crying out for a JJ type of player out wide with real pace to speed up our attacks and get us up the pitch a bit quicker.

We had one his name was Will Buckley, playing him meant we couldn't play our usual 3 cm so his game time was limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesWalker Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 As daft as it sounds with 20 mins left in ET against Huddersfield bringing JJ off the bench would have probably seen us have a good go of winning that game. That just goes to show how poor our recruitment was last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did an excellent job for us at that time, but he's a million miles off this squad FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did an excellent job for us at that time, but he's a million miles off this squad FFS! Think your taking my point out of context. The fact we didn't have anyone with the attributes of JJ in the squad displays the poor recruitment last season. Therefore, even JJ would have been a better option that what we had. We were crying out for someone who could carry the ball and stretch Huddersfield out. Without that threat on the pitch they were quite comfortable playing a high line and pressing us, winning the ball back quite high up the pitch. The last 20 mins both teams were physically drained, however they carried a threat due to the pace in their side (especially Quaner down our left).

He gets bonus points with a lot of the fans for being the only semi-entertaining player when we were absolute horse poo, but he wasn't particularly good and even at his best, never close a top 6 championship player. Did enjoy the occasional worldy into the top corner though, especially after his previous 6 attempts had all but removed the roof cladding from those little league 1 grounds.
