LJ HAPPY WITH THE BIG MAN



Lee Johnson has been assessing Ross Stewart's contribution against Plymouth and our chances in the play offs…


BIG MAN

"That mobility is the big thing. He's a big lad and I think maybe at the moment he's sometimes better playing as a one [striker]. He almost needs the width of the box to be able to arc his run. The goal was a great example, I know Plymouth thought he was offside but I just thought it was a really good run. He's long and he's lean and that gives him the chance to make those runs. Listen, Ross has got megabucks of work to do but that's why we bought him. We wouldn't have him otherwise. 6ft 4, quick, we're talking £10 million [if he was the finished product]. He's a great lad, really good on the tactical stuff because he wants to learn. Technically he's a good player and physically he's extremely good."


THE PLAY OFFS

"After that first game [against Wigan] we're sat 11th in the league and we've come away with a cup win, and now we've got another mini-cup competition that we can actually prepare for with players actually fit. The likes of Bailey Wright, back to his best on Saturday and that's massive for us going back into the play-offs. We've got a lot of different dynamics in forward areas, which we need. And we're learning all the time, learning about the individuals. Who can deal with the pressure of certain games, who you can manage through certain niggles, all these types of things. I'm always learning about the boys and Saturday was another tick in the box for a number of players."
