If I get all the stats up it's boring but I know his stats year on year aren't great. Maybe you should check them out yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman had 11 goals and 2 assists in 15/16 from 2057 minutes Russell 10 goals and 8 assists in 15/16 from 3248 minutes Not especially fantastic as everyone claims just because he's our Johnny. And statistically, that is actually Johnny's best ever season surprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother continuing the Blackman comparison, it's unlikely he'll ever manage to play as many minutes as JR he seems unable to stay fit. I wonder why?! So still we've no-one in the squad better than JR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Johnny, but I just think he gets the easiest ride of any player we've had in a long time just because he seems to possess a good attitude. He was always seen as some kind of crazy hard worker, and I have no idea why. He doesn't track back more than Ince did. He loves standing next to the nearest defender and effectively marking himself out of the game, and has a refusal to want to run into obvious space. He's then also prone to fluffing a good chance with either a bad shot or a horrendous decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he's still not been bettered for all the cash we've splashed. I'd love to see a consistent player, but don't think we will. Whether he'll be good enough for GR, we'll see.

Sexydadbod Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 If we are relying on Russell as one of our wingers to get us up then we will be forever in the championship. Time for someone else to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 He had a poor season last year but so did most of the squad...not a bad record prior to that.... A few more of these please Johnny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
