Cardiff’s Johnson: A True Xmas Star!

Cardiff City defender Roger Johnson is one of the main reasons that club captain Darren Purse is out of the first team and attracting interest from elsewhere. His form has been impressive and the partnership with Glenn Loovens has blossomed into a dominating pairing.


Johnson is also a potent threat at set-pieces and has got his fair share of goals, including goals in back to back games recently with headers against Preston North End and Watford.


The recent haul over the festive period saw Johnson climb quickly up the Actim rankings for the Championship. The Actim index assigns points for individual player’s contributions to the team and provides detailed statistical analysis of key contributions.


Roger Johnson was actually one of the highest scoring players in the division over the recent period – especially impressive for a defender and one of just 6 players to pass the 100 point mark over 4 games.


Roger Johnson is fast becoming an indispensible member of the squad. He rarely has an off day and is impressive in all areas of the field marking him as a stand-out player in the Cardiff City team. His form, recently has been good and is reflected in the rankings. Long may it continue!
