Brennan Johnson could be the difference between survival and relegation for Nottingham Forest, who know that keeping him is more beneficial than selling up. JohnnyTheNic
Brennan Price Johnson is the 5ft 10ins, 21-year-old, Nottingham-born striker who plays for Nottingham Forest. He is the son of David Johnson who also used to play for Nottingham Forest and Ipswich among others. Brennan is one of Forest’s best hopes for escaping relegation.
This turned out to be a great advert for the loan system. He made 49 appearances and scored 13 times. Even more impressively he provided 14 assists in his time there, helping Lincoln finish in the play-off places. This season it’s been tougher for the young striker but he’s still got 10 goals in 41 appearances so far. His career numbers are 154 appearances, 47 goals and 25 assists. He’s got eight Premier League goals this season from an 8.04 xG.
Like all top-notch strikers, when in front of goal, he strikes the ball early. If you watch his goal reels, he hits it first time a lot. That gives him a split second advantage. It also shows what a confident player he is. He’s also quick across the grass and he’s got the anticipation and vision to find space. That is one of the great unspoken skills in football because it happens without the ball but it is especially crucial for a striker. Those who can do it tend to be the best performers.
