Jack has been with us for years, just because he was injured most of last season doesn't mean he wasn't here FFS, stop being so pedantic. Burgess left and Rasmus joined, everyone else was here. If you can't grasp that then thank god this isn't anything academic you have to get your head around.
Well said Wightblue but FFS don't let Deep know you don't really rate Johnson.
My last reply too.
We were comparing last season's squad to this year. Jack was not available last year ... that's not being pedantic, it's a simple fact. Being pedantic is claiming he should be counted for some reason just because he was on the books.
And for the record I don't rate Johnson so far as much better than average. But that is a lot better than the well below average Bolton, so a clear improvement on last year.
But the most compelling evidence of the improvement in the defence is that we have conceded 21% fewer goals at this stage - that takes away any subjective opinions of players because it is a fact that can't be denied.
