Impressive Mikey Johnston statistic despite season ending West Brom injury
Mikey Johnston’s Albion campaign was very much one of two halves.
As Albion slid down the table and into relegation trouble - the former Celtic winger signed two summers ago was a rare shining light.
Memorable goals against Portsmouth and Preston came amid a host of top assists for the club.
He was key in their early season form that saw them into the top two.
As things began to slide under Ryan Mason and later Eric Ramsay - Johnston was still a rare piece of positivity in an otherwise dreadful campaign.
It came to an abrupt halt in James Morrison’s first game in interim charge - as Albion slumped to a 2-1 defeat at Oxford United.
Johnston came off injured in the first half and his season was over due to a stress fracture of his ankle.
But despite not featuring in any of the final eleven games of the campaign - his statistics still look impressive stacked up against others in the division.
Despite that injury, Johnston still finished sixth in terms of assists in the Championship.
His nine goals in 34 outings was one of the best in terms of assists to games ratio - with Stoke’s Sorba Thomas coming in with 13 and Sheffield United’s Gus Hamer also leading the list.
The next Albion player behind him was way down the list as midfielder Alex Mowatt picked up four assists, alongside striker Aune Heggebo.
