We signed him on the back of two good seasons alongside a big carthorse at Macclesfield. We either played him out wide, up top on his own or, even worse, with Desire Segbe Azankpo... Bang on for me. We wasted him, I think he could do OK at this level with a target man alongside him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between the Glasgow giants and the rest of the Scottish Premiership seems as wide as ever. Difficult to say really where the teams would fit into the EFL based on level of play.

For me it’s got to be judged on the quality of player moving there my knowledge is limited but from players I know of - Trevor Carson playing for Hartlepool in conference goes to Motherwell then wanted by Celtic McKay scoring for fun at Ross County- Couldn’t hit a barn door in England Iacovitti - one of the poorer players from last season - now started the last two games in the Scottish prem Chris Killen - Scored for fun at Hibs after having an average record for us then went to Middlesborough and struggled.

the_mighty_bosh Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Ross County have 2 wins from 2 with a strikeforce of Lee Erwin and Billy McKay. That's the exact strikeforce (along with Freddie Ladapo) that scored 12 goals in 24 games and had 16 scoreless games for us, yet is a starting Premier League pairing up there. That says a lot about the standard of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an amazingly bizarre appointment- I wish him well, always came across as a decent guy although mediocre as a player and forgettable as a coach and caretaker. Can’t help thinking that Bristol City will regret letting Johnson go - he’s got them as close to the Premier League as they are ever likely to I imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t see how you look at his credentials and think he’s the man to take you up- which considering how much their owner has put in will undoubtedly be the aim.
