DJ

Form or no form, there is always a market for established championship performers when there's no transfer fee for them. He's only 30, and whilst his current wage is high for us, that doesn't make it high for most of this league.

If he goes, he will do just fine.

I think DJ doubts this too - hence his semi-detached 'one-eye-on-the-exit-so-not-getting-injured-here' performances so far this season.

Johnson has been a stalwart since he came into the side in L1 and helped propel us to promotion.

He deserves better than the Barky treatment. (And so did Barky.)

Agreed.

But it's a two-way street. He needs to show a bit more focus when he's on the pitch - where we need him because he's potentially our best player on his day.

How Woodburn got on ahead of him last night is bizarre, and makes you wonder what DJ's been like in training, especially as BW was absolutely dire and looked less interested than DJ has at any point this season. 🙁

Aye, Johnson being left on the bench in favour of Woodburn, who has all the midfield presence of a wind-blown Tom Bayliss, suggests to me the process of "proving" we can do without DJ is in full swing.

DJ, imo opinion, is being slowly eased out as both parties (Pne/DJs Team) know the score.

At least we are starting to build a midfield around the impressive (again!) Ali McCann.

Thought he was quality last night, carries more of a goal threat than our other midfielders at the moment.

We can do without him if we just want to play negative defensive football. I wouldnt blame him for wanting to leave the club if we just want him to chase shadows. Our forward offensive passing yesterday was sparse and generally terrible.

DJ hobbled off the bus at Sunderland to the extent I was very surprised he was on the bench so perhaps fitness is an issue. I certainly thought he would come on ahead of Woodburn last night to close the game out.

No way he'll be here next season, it's his one last signing on fee payday. His mates having a great time in Greece and I can see something like that happening.

I must admit that I want Woodburn to do well but he got brushed aside very easily last night when he came on…..

I know that it is difficult to get into the game when you only come on with 15/20 mins left but unfortunately he added nothing..
