Mikey Johnston

his ability and skill is there , its plain to see for everyone , we might just need to be ehhh patient

 

Some people on this thread are strange , how people can’t see how much of an exciting talent he is and will be is beyond me.

Remember he’s only 20 and will improve with each coming game and week

 

Love the wee man but he's no ready for consistent first team football with us..

His body and physique clearly isn't there yet..

Will be massive for us but needs a Christie type regime..

 

A lot of growing up to do.

A swift boot in the baws from Lenny incoming.

 

i just don't understand why he's lennon go to sub all the time, even during december when we had griffiths on the bench desperately in need of match sharpness and fitness he persisted with this guy as first sub and now it continues with Christie, Rogic and now Klimala who should all be getting on that park before him. The boy was a waste of a shirt tonight, he did nothing.

 

Plays with the head down. Not a fan.

 

Has a lot of potential but we clearly can’t rely on him. Lost count now how many times he has got injured.

Never seems to get a consistent a run of games, just seems to return and then he is out injured again!

Don’t know what it is but there is clearly an issue there. As a club we seem to have a ridiculous problem with injuries but Johnston in particular is just so injury prone.

 

Gimpy little *.

Should thank his lucky stars he's not trying to be a footballer a fee decades earlier.

 

Part of that problem is refs allowing the other teams to kick * out of us every week...

 

Can't agree with that Paddy.

I don't think he was born out of wedlock.

 

Just for balance....They got a foul when he got injured..

Wotherspoon actually fouled Mikey..

Still though....I've bigged him up and rate him massively but he needs to work on his body before he gets another run here..

 

Should have game off. Now likely done himself a lot of damage. Not expecting to see him for a good while.

 

Think that injury could be a bit worse than we all first thought. Lenny has clearly calmed down a bit and sounded a bit concerned. A wobble in his knee isn't great and we really could do without more mid to long term injuries.

 

Sooner elyounoussi's back the better, few flashes of brilliance from johnston this season but he's too greedy at times and needs to bulk up or he wont get far.

 

Plus I think Elyounoussi would fit better into a 352, playing up top or in the 10. Johnston needs to play as a winger ,and at the moment it's not working for us

 

Couldn't disagree more about him being too greedy, at times I think he could go on his own a bit more.

Think people forget his age, hes nowhere near the finished article but what 20 year old wingers are?

He was one of our best players early in the season, then got an injury. Came back and was excellent and now past few games has been off the boil a bit.

I rate the boy highly and think he will go on to be an absolutely class player for us.

 

This is part of the problem but a lot of them seem to be reoccurring hamstring injuries, groin strains, knee injuries etc.

 

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.
