      Bloody awful, didn't think he could get any worse. Just goes to show you can always be surprised.

      Have to agree, hasn't recovered from a terrible 2nd half to last season and needs dropping sharpish.

      Utter sh*te tonight.

      I really like Glen as an attacking full back but his form is starting to worry me.

      Have to agree, hasn't recovered from a terrible 2nd half to last season and needs dropping sharpish.

      No one to drop him for mate.

      I would have had Ryan in tonight to see how he done as every cahnce he'll over take Glen at some point.

      Said it in match thread. Neither can't defend and now losing his attacking threat as well. Thinks he is Ronaldo or Messi, always has to take 2-3 players at one time and ends up losing possession.

      I don't think he beat anyone tonight on his runs. Was really disappointed.

      Come on Glen, step up son.

      Defo the next big earner to be on the transfer list.  Think his head is more focused on getting his maths degree and learning Spanish, ready for his retirement.

      It's been a while since we've last said Johnson is on his best form. Probably an overrated player tbh. Hasn't played brilliantly for a while.

      Just have to hope Kelly gets fit and gives him much better competition, or come next summer we move Johnson on and look to purchase a defensively solid defender.

      It's just his concentration that's the probably. He just makes it so easy for someone to run in behind. Plus from set pieces he has been a problem.

      Had an absolute shocker last night.

      Lost count of how many times he tried to beat his man & either lost the ball or ran down a dead end.

      This isn't anything new with Johnson, he's always been a poor defender and made blatant errors but has usually had someone to cover for him. When he doesn't, he's shown to be the liability he is.

      Going forward, I've often though of him as overrated anyway. He has a decent strike on him and scores the occasional great goal which has people drooling over him. But he's not great at passing, his crossing leaves a lot to be desired and his tracking back from attacking positions is almost non-existent. He loses the ball then casually jogs rather than breaking his bollocks to get back in position.

      I really hope he is sold. I just wonder who the F**k would want him. Most teams couldn't afford him because we'd want a big price and the teams who can afford him clearly aren't interested.

      Been off his game for quite a while now but the fact that there has been F**k all to replace him with has kept him in the side.

      Not good enough at the moment.

      Absolutely dire last night had a decent 10 minutes when he first moved to left back but apart from that I can't excuse a performance like that. Especially from a 'first team regular'!

      He shouldn't be in the team. What he's done to deserve an automatic starting place at RB is beyond me. If we look to strengthen this area, he'd improve his game no doubt. Same applies to Lucas.

      We have no one else until Kelly gets fit or Brendan takes a massive gamble on Ryan McLaughlin.
