Spotted at the game against Derby last night
Bit optimistic, but I’d have him back.A bit more than spotted by joining the Oxford fans. Maybe he is now just a supporter.

Why? Would you not see him as an upgrade on Brown? I'm amazed anyone wouldn't want him back, especially of the back of being almost ever present for a team that got 96 points last year.I’d prefer to forget him and move on
Didn’t he just play as a winger for us?Johnson is the best left back we've had in the Kassam era. I'd have him back here in a heartbeat. Players aren't fans, the fans need to get over that bit. They wont love Oxford United for ever more, it's a job and their livelihood - nothing more. I'd almost guarantee you that Mark Harris, for example, has an eye on a return to a higher level, whether that's with Oxford or elsewhere. Yes, Johnsons attitude waned a bit when he knew he was off but I don't think he was so disruptive that the opportunity of bringing him back is something that we shouldn't seriously consider.
I'd take him back. Don't think it'll happen however.
We played him left back a fair bit, I believe largly so we could point at him as say "look, he can play left back as well, he's worth more!" I didn't much like him there then but he's had several years playing a more defensive role since so I'd imagine he's improved. You're right though in that he was predominantly a winger here.Didn’t he just play as a winger for us?
