Welcome to the club. I seem to recall John Johnston playing very well for Leek against us.

Sets up Leek's 2nd goal - No11 (dreadful decision from the ref for their penalty a little earlier in the footage)

The zonal marking went well there I thought...

Sounds a fantastic signing on paper but I won't get too excited until I've seen him in Red and White. After all Brian Smikle and Joe Mwasile tore us apart before signing....

Yep, looks a very decent signing. I wonder if any other Salford lads will join him?

I was being restrained! He also had a good game at Salford against us, although I am trying to erase last season from the memory.

I cant believe he has not yet spoken to the fans himself and not having a meet the players evening is a disgrace. On top of that he has not yet scored or even supplied a cross, bloody rubbish signing.


Good luck John and welcome to the club.

First post in bloody months this from me :-)

Sounds like an ideal replacement for Clee.. Only a young lad seems very keen and knows and respects  PP which cant be bad.

Next up a decent Striker to smash home all the crosses that this lad will hopefully provide.

Good luck Fella ... the only way is up  ;)

Welcome to what remains of a great club. Play your rocks off and you could well be a hero. Big challenge here John. Best of luck.

Reaction to the signing has been very positive and we've received lots of great comments from Salford fans who seem to think he'll boss it at our level. Promising stuff! If he lives up to it, him and Miller on the wings could be huge for us. Welcome to the club, John!

I think he's a right winger so not a direct replacement as such. We still need a left winger.

Miller only wants to play on left. No idea why.

If the the same player im thinking this is a very good signing.

Probably so he can cut in and shoot.

Yes indeed. Limits him a bit though and everyone knows whats coming

Well he certainly doesn't attempt to pass to a colleague. Parkinson certainly needs to work on that aspect of Miller's game.
