Great News - Johnson back training

AJ On The Comeback Trail

Andy Johnson was back on the City training pitches for the first time today (Monday) following a lengthy absence through injury.

The former West Brom midfielder, who made the switch from the Hawthorns to the Walkers Stadium last summer, has been out of action since October with an ankle problem.

But following a frustrating time on the sidelines, Johnson was back at Belvoir Drive barking out the orders this morning.

Assistant manager Mike Stowell said: "It's a good boost for both Johno and the club - but his banter on the training ground is still rubbish!

"He's a voice and a character and it is a big plus to have him back."

Johnson went under the surgeon's knife in November, and following a few minor setbacks he is now moving in the right direction.

Stowell added: "It's been a frustrating time for him. The operation was a success and they actually found what they were looking for. When you hear those words it just makes you even more eager to get back.

"It's been a long road to recovery and he has had one or two little niggles along the way. But he has stuck at it. He's a tough lad.

"He's go to get through a couple of weeks on the training pitch now before he can take the next step. But he's not too far away."

it seems the OS mistook the word passing with banter

I reckon we'll see a different Andy Johnson when he returns. OK, he's been apalling so far, but I still believe he has a lot to offer and I hope we'll see it.

A clean slate from me, let's hope he has more about him this time

A friend of mine has seen AJ play quite a lot at Baggies, and he thought AJ was a good player at times but he was a little too inconsistent.

Is it because the last time you said this, the player who you mentioned managed to crawl us back from death against Fulham?

No, but it's a good omen.

I don't believe AJ has became this bad overnight. I think he still has it in him, he just needs to produce it

Agreed, it'd be interesting to see if he can make an impact coming off the bench

True, handing out the water bottles is a skilled job

Well that's a start I suppose!!

Seriously though I thought he would be a good signing and if he can get fully fit he still has time to prove it.
