Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis McGugan says criticism of Brennan Johnson's form this season is harsh for one key reason.
The 21-year-old Wales international forward has played all bar five minutes in the Premier League since promotion. Johnson has won acclaim in the last two seasons, first on loan at Lincoln City and then in the Championship as Forest won promotion.
However, he has been criticised by fans for his contributions this season, but McGugan says that is unfair given the step up in class and the change in Forest's place in the league standings.
