I can understand people wanting him to move on following the statements but that doesn't make him rubbish overnight. Exactly. He blows hot and cold. But is an important part of the team. Let's see how we get on without him if Thomas or MacLean are in there - not a slight on them directly but he is much better. We won't fold over and lose every game but he is a very important option to have on the pitch. Like someone else said, if he goes I think we will see Moult, Skippy and Ainsworth as a top 3....I know who I would rather have starting beside Moult and Skippy every week.

texanwellfan Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I don't think he is rubbish but as an overall assesment I don't think we are any more or less likely to win matches when he is gone. I'll probably get pelters but I actually prefer Ainsworth over Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think Marvin has been, and remains, magic. He's been great to watch and I hope we haven't shat it when they added and extra tenner to £300k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Attacking midfielder is exactly what we need, looks to have a bit of pace about him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MearnsWell Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Both. Thinking I guess is that Thomas and Ainsworth are first choice wingers, Belic could be attacking mid we've missed since Pearo, Moult, Skippy and Blyth compete for striking (or mid in Skippys case) slots.

DEWELL Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Marvin Johnson you ain't getting a move this window son. Best you just get on the pitch and start performing and hopefully a club will come in for you in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought our best option was howfin high balls up to McDonald ? So apparently it looks like we had a plan A and a plan B ...........let hope plan C is to actually play some football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Like very player that has left us - good, bad or indifferent - we'll adjust and move on. It's still better than the days when we used to flog our best players directly to Rangers or Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I thought we played some of our best passing through midfield in a good while against Dundee. Unfortunately it only got us to the edge of the box and we created very few chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 IF Johnson goes to OU, it could well be spun as them smashing their transfer record. 500k, whilst lower than some may have hoped, is decent business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
