Quote: Chris71 "Think I read a quote somewhere very recently from a player (might have been Connor) who credited Johnstone for what he has brought to the team starting games.
Houghton has been a great player for us during his time but he can’t do the 80mins like he’s done over years. Think we do actually get a lot more out him from the bench. I think the criticism of Houghtons performances over the past couple of seasons prior to AL taking over have been valid. Even he himself when interviewed earlier this year said he’d fallen out of love of the game. So maybe now the closeness to the previous Head Coach has gone plus the period of lock down has helped Danny refocus and this along with changes AL has made plus genuine competition for his place maybe why his performances have been more like him.'"
You can't have a club captain that prefers the vice captain to speak to the press, Houghton is not a leader, and he isn't the player he used to be, from the bench as a threat he has a place, had Toronto not collapsed he would have been gone.
