After a humiliating 5-0 defeat in the cup to Nottingham Forest in January this year, Sam Allardyce realised he had to act fast to bolster our ever depleting defence; James Collins, Winston Reid and James Tomkins were all out of action. This realisation triggered a shock loan deal for Roger Johnson: a player who had twice been relegated with both Birmingham and Wolves and had not played a single Premier League game since March 2012. His first appearance was in a 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City proving what a worthless signing he was.
