Tony Carr Jersey profile consists of Birmingham centre back Roger Johnson. He is the 2nd Defender that I and fellow blogger 5stars have profiled in our feature. Please enjoy this weeks playersBefore Roger Johnson joined Premier Leaguepromoters Birmingham City, the English defender was noted as one of Cardiff City best players. Johnson clocked up a total of 119 appearances for the Bluebirds, and he also netted twelve times in his three yearspell with Cardiff. Roger Johnson was a ma sive hit with the Cardiff faithful, as he secured the clubs player of the year award at the end of the 2007/2008 season.Last seasonscampaign provedto be his last season for the Welsh side, however he still went out with a bang, as he started over 50 matches for Cardiff last season.In June
Lonzo Ball Jersey 2009, Johnson secured a five millionpound move to Birmingham City.Thecentre back stated thatPremier League football is the dream, I cantwait to get started.This season hasturned out brilliantly on Johnsons behalf. As Alex McLeish signed him and fellow Championship defender at the time, Scott Dann the beginning of the season credentials were of course the same as every other promoted team stay clear of relegation. However the two have turned outto be, one of the most promising centre back pairings, in the Premier League this season. However its Roger Johnson who has caughtpeoples attention this season, with awesome displays against the likes of Chelsea, Fulham and Manchester City. Roger Johnson has thrown
Rawle Alkins Jersey his body on the line innearly every single game this season, as his tackling and his blocking have been first cla s. His distribution has also been first cla s, as he has helped Birmingham Citysustain ten clean sheets in all competitions this season.Also Birmingham has the2nd highest number of clean sheets, nine in total in this seasons Premier League, as they sit behind league leaders Chelsea onthat stat.So far this season, Roger Johnson has appeared the most times for Birmingham City in the 09/10 campaign. Also on a positive note the Birmingham centre back is jointon the list, as the most featured player in the Premier League this season, alongwith Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra.However can Roger Johnson keep uphis brilliant form for Birmingham City? As we are currently in thesecond half of the Premier League season, Birmingham lay 8th in the table, albeitfrom the help of Roger Johnson and his team mates, Scott Dann and Joe Hart. Johnson has been one of the better players for theWest Midlands club; therefore his
Jahlil Okafor Jersey name has been mentioned as a po sible candidate for an England call up. I wouldnt put it past him, as beingselected for the England squad, in some up and coming friendly games, however most of us will probably think that,the World Cup is too much ofa long shot for Roger Johnson. IfJohnson stays injury free, the centre back will definitely need to perform in the March and April months, only if Birmingham wants to sustain a topten finish at the end of this season. As McLeishs men have home ties against Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool at the back end of this season. Overall Roger Johnson is turning out to be, an ultimate defender for his
Christian Wood Jersey new club Birmingham City, and if he is lucky he could well be drafted intothe England squad in the next couple of months.Wednesday Premiership Player Profile Carlton Cole(by 5stars)
