Johnson As our Main striker ?

he certainly couldnt do any worse thats for sure,but i agree worth a try,i was speaking to a lad at work the other day and he suggested the same thing
 
Warnock must have his head in his hands looking at this thread. Marvin has probably the worst football brain in the squad. Imagine him up against two big centre halves 😬

Going inside both then scoring
as in having the worst footballing brain i can doubt is he not our top scorer also in the past few games he has been the one who has but the best balls into the box other than deadballs ???
 
Jesus.... Do people think its that bad😂?

I've heard Watmore and now Johnson. A winger and a fullback as 'better' options than the 17.5mil 2 forwards we have.

The forwards are gash (or lack of confidence) but they are all we have until Jan at the very earliest. I'll still rant about Britts finishing but it's all we have.

But it’s not all we have, we need to try something different, we have tried them to death now, we know what we get, which is minimal, just repeating the same won’t change anything.

do you not think Browne would not have been tried other than him b
getting injured ?
 
I’m sorry but there’s absolutely nothing about Johnson’s game that suggests he’s worth trying up front. Especially in a lone striker role. He’s not an intelligent footballer but, in fairness to him, can put a decent cross in from time to time.

I think you’re underestimating how difficult it is to lead the line. Suggesting just sticking anyone up there because they’ve scored a couple of goals from wide positions is farcical.

Less farcical than sticking what we know doesn’t work.

not as our main striker but up the top end of the pitch with watmore
 
Yeah, let's actively negate our attacking threat even further (which would be an achievement in itself) by sticking an average (at best) winger up front. On his own. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It’s not like we’d be sticking David James up front. These lads are putting away chances and creating chances. Put em both up top together and if the opposition put three past us.. we can always put the lads who aren’t scoring back on!
 
I don't think playing Johnson as a striker is the answer.

Play Britt up front with Roberts no 10, or Britt and Akpom up front together.

He needs to stop playing Britt and Akpom as lone strikers, with 3 defensive midfielders - it doesn't work.

Not sure I agree putting him front but jeez "the worst football brain in the squad"? How'd you figure that one out?

Out of interest who has the second worst football brain in the squad?
