Lukers1 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) To be fair Pete I was at Hull the day Leigh Palin finished Fillery's career, it was his first start for us. Probably one of the worst tackles I have ever seen. Edited November 10, 2014 by Lukers1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably one of the worst tackles I have ever seen. You're right, it was a shocker He'd always played really well for Brighton against us and it seemed a good signing ....but because of that tackle it didn't work out Now...as astottie mentioned .... for Jon Keeley !

oafc1955 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The Birmingham Mail reckon that he will be leaving in Jan/summer. I've just read that myself...... Maybe a permanent deal is in the pipeline.......... From the paper, The 22-year-old Bodymoor Heath academy graduate spent the first part of the season on loan at Chesterfield. Johnson, who has been at Villa since 2009, has also had a temporary spells at Yeovil. He is out of contract at Villa next summer and is expected to leave after never making a senior appearance for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markspark92 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) "I think he has been the classiest player we have ever had on loan." "Daniel Johnson has been a pleasure to watch!! He is head and shoulders above any of our current bunch and if it was my decision would break the bank to sign him!!!" "I'd personally like to wish him all the best and would love to see him here again (though I can't see it happening). He's been a fantastic loanee and he's the main reason Doyle has bagged so many goals." "I wanted to shake the blokes hand and thank him for what he's given us (he's been a sheer joy to watch) and to wish him all the best" From Chesterfield forum Edited November 10, 2014 by Markspark92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitts Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 As he is primarily a left footer, perhaps he offers cover for Forte rather than Winchester? Forte still appears to be struggling in some games with his niggling injury and does not train all the time in the week. Daniel Johnson may offer similar pace and poise on left side. Could be a useful signing for the team - offers pace, skill and flexibility in the midfield / forward area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a useful signing for the team - offers pace, skill and flexibility in the midfield / forward area. So Johnson comes in at left midfield and 'Super' Mike Jones goes on the right! Johnson/Dayton alternatives for Philly. Winnie becomes a sub for Right/'Centre' Mid Ibere plays up front with Forte replaced at 60 minute stage by Poleon or vice versa! Turner/Bove give additional attacking options from the bench. Mills 'owns' that left side when attacking so Johnson plays a bit on the inside. All pretty good options bearing in mind our financial state! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Sounds positive for a permanent move if things work out, From the Chron..... I was on my way back home to London after being with Villa for the week, but once I knew Oldham were in for me I had no hesitation in coming here, he said. I would have come earlier if Id had the chance. I just want to play - hopefully until the end of the season, but well have to wait and see what happens.

NewBlue Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Worth just saying how good that assist was yesterday. Dropping the ball dead-weight onto the penalty spot for someone to run onto is some skill. This lad and Philly should rip apart teams at BP. You could watch it on loop...https://www.twitter.com/oafcvines/status/536566697134944257 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 What are the rules for how many teams a player can go to in a season? If it's more than 2, we'll struggle to keep hold of him after January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I think he's got more of a hint of the Messi about him, except for being black and having dreads. Not sure we know quite how to use him yet, it's pretty clear you would like him running through the middle at defences but we need to set up to accommodate that.
