lake district canary 4,518 Posted February 11, 2015 Just watched the highlights and although the whole team must have played well, Johnson was responsible for creating the first two goals with his persistence and pressing. Grabban''s goal was brilliant - created by Johnson. Good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacks Back 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Easily my Player of the Season so far. Such a high level of consistency, even when the team is playing pretty poorly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans teeth 18 Posted February 11, 2015 Have to agree there he''s having a great season right up there for player of the seasonHe shows alot of heart when ever he plays and that goes along way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 11, 2015 Superb header for Grabban''s goal. He had chances to get a couple of goals too with a bit more composure.Fast becoming a very good all-round midfielder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''ve criticised him, as have others, for his sometimes slack passing, but if he is offering the kind of pressing and determination he showed for those two goals yesterday, then the positives outweigh the negatives. Would still have reservations about him playing in central midfield, but on the left, he looks to have found a good place for himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 11, 2015 I would personally have him alongside Howson in centre-mid over Tettey. Maybe harsh, as he is only just back from injury, but I felt Tettey was at fault for both of their goals last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,314 Posted February 11, 2015 BJ was instrumental in last nights win, he broke up play with his combative style, he''ll pick up a few yellows along the way of course but he''s having a great season, scored a few earlier on, hope he can keep up this strong level of performance and add a few more goals.

I seem to have woken Lapps up. In my humble opinion, playing the defensive midfield role is not the same as playing central midfield - where Johnson has been found this been found out playing too far forwards and us being caught on the break. If Johnson is given the DM role, then he has to stay back in that position. Same with Tettey imo. I hope this explains it sufficiently for you, without too much waffle.[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarders 4 Posted February 11, 2015 Its the passion from BJ that I love whenever we see him score he just goes mental I love it. Even when he has nothing to do with the goal you can see how much it means to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure whether he''d be POTS material yet, but certainly a nailed on candidate for most improved player . I''ve a feeling that he''s the sort of player tailor made for a manager like Neil to get the best out of, don''t you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 11, 2015 Whatever you''d want to call the role he''s currently playing, it''s working for him.It''s as if we''re compensating for Olsson going forward more but Grabban running the left channel. I suppose i''d call him a defensive wide player.I think we saw both sides of him yesterday. The winning the ball back and assist were great and he sometimes looks a class above this level but then his miss from 12 yards just showed his occasional lack of composure.
