Clough happy with Johnson after debut
Bristol City star Lee Johnson made his debut for Derby County in Saturday's FA Cup third round tie at Millwall.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who joined the Rams on loan last Friday, helped his new team-mates come from behind to draw 1-1 at the New Den and earn a replay at Pride Park on January 13.

Johnson replaced the injured Lee Hendrie at the start of the second half and Derby manager Nigel Clough afterwards declared himself satisfied with his new signing.
He said: "I was very pleased with Lee Johnson when he came on. He did what I brought him to do – he got on the ball and he made a lot of passes.
"Hopefully, his first 45 minutes will have helped him settle and he will be encouraged by it."
Now fully recovered from the flu virus which ruled him out of City's Christmas fixtures against Queens Park Rangers and Watford, Johnson will be looking to make his first start in a Rams jersey when Scunthorpe visit Pride Park on Saturday.

“I hope Little Lee can now show what a good little player he is without the pressure of the City boo boys on his shoulders.”
