What does BR see in him, is the question? It's BR who picks him after all. He's the one who should be queried in my view.
It really isn't Glen Johnsons's fault that he is GJ.
When he signalled to come off, it might be that he thought we could maintain momentum if a fit sub was brought on quickly (he hadn't realised there were no subs left). We were just at the point of rattling City for the first time.
He's picking up too much flack for what is BR's decision to play him / the club's failure to enlist what it feels to be a better replacement.
It was BR's team and he brought Lambert on too late. That was at least part of the problem and BR should defend Johnson (as he has) because it was BR who picked him.
That we feel GJ may need replacing is fair enough but the vitriol sometimes sent his way seems misplaced to me.
I think you are right there and that sometimes even when we are winning we have fans on here still pulling up the negative stuff. Which is their right but it is a team game.
As for finding a replacement I think we have 2 there who could do a job without being world beaters and now that this has happened they get the chance to prove they are better. At £90k a week we are going to be hard pushed to find any takers and any fee is likely to be a nominal one. It's a bit of a stalemate situation that I am sure BR wants to avoid as we are all about looking forward.
