Johnson instead of Brown

Brown is better than Shopido and Sow put together on what I have seen 

Thats probably what put Johnson under so much pressure 


Especially after Wigan game where I thought Brown was excellent. Then dropped?!

I don’t know what his problem is with Brown 

 

Assuming Hutch is fit then I want to see this:

 

BPF

 

Hunt

Iorfa

Dunkley

Brown

 

Hutchinson

Adeniran

Bannan

 

Shodipo

Paterson

Berahino


Thats a poor team to be honest.

 

Berahino showed glimpses of a good striker today, so why would you waste him out wide? 
 

Dunkley should be nowhere near the starting 11 when Hutch and Gibson fit.

Hutchinson needs to play alongside Iorfa at the back for me.

How many times did Johnson play left back for Middlesbrough?

 

Genuine question as I don’t know the answer. 
 

Pretty sure he played mainly as a wide left player in a front 3.

 

This... Johnson has never been a left back or a defender, he's always played as an attacking player.

 

Brown on the other hand has always played left back before he came to us.

 

So why does Moore think that turning them into something they're not and playing both out of their natural positions is such a good idea?

Johnson is one of the worst players to play for us in the last 15 years. 

And you could see this after the first 2 games yet here we are with him still starting games.... Why?!

Sadly the truth is we’ve acquired an array of very average wingers.

 

Johnson did really well Tuesday. It would have been daft to drop him. Plus, his super cross got us our goal today. But, it’s pretty obvious he can’t defend. Maybe a decent LWB, but a poor winger and a poor LB.

 

Brown can’t cross, beat his man, and carps himself when gifted a chance.

 

Sow and Shodipo have shown mild glimpses, but nothing more.

 

Corbeanu looks to have drive but no composure yet.

 

Windass will walk into the LW or RW slot.

Johnson cost us a goal giving away a stupid penalty on Tuesday night.

It’s laughable that our fullbacks are the useless Johnson and the hapless Palmer

 

Both of them shybo for the 2nd goal. 
 

Johnson just totally ineffective and Palmer goes walkabout and then - as usual - stops and walks and they get an overload in the middle due to our missing RB

Agree mate, how Palmer keeps getting a shirt, the opposition knows to play on him, no differant to last season. Johnson is as slow as Palmer, can't understand why Brown didn't play today. Wonder if there is an agreement with Middlesborough that Johnson has to play so many games as part of the loan deal,  hope not.
