In his post match interview Johnson says the club is as much his as it is the fans because he's been hear a long time.
Christ he's been a paid employee for five years, there are fans in attendances who can recall the O'Farrell era. Where does the man's arrogance end and his humility begin.

I was at Plainmoor yesterday and in my opinion we were much the better side but nonetheless the overall quality was poor and once again we are indebted to an incredible strike from 35 yards by Brett McGavin. What a goal!
De Silva played very well and I feel he is improving all the time and becoming a bigger threat. He has pace and trickery.
I was pleased for Dan Martin who had a very good game and with Deano alongside Tomlinson we looked better balanced at the back.
The next two games away will prove one way or another if we are good enough to finish 2nd which realistically must be our target now.

All about opinions I guess, I thought other than two mazy runs that came to nothing, Desilva offered little in defense or attack. I thought Archer looked far stronger at holding the ball up and running at players.
Also thought Martin ran up and down the pitch a lot, defensively looked ok (didn't have much to do) but offered little going forward. Just back from numerious issues, so hopefully can only get better.
Lapslie helped the midfield look more stable in it's defending and attacking.
I agree we looked the better side, but against the opposition that isn't saying much, Dover were hard working but limited, you can see why they only lose 1-0 in games.

For me what Johnson appears to be alluding too is despite the pressures to win every match he is still committed to the cause and enjoys his work and time at Torquay. Even though he is a paid employee that commitment ought to be commendable, There was a time when loyalty was supposed to mean something. There’s no getting away from the fact we are in a battle for promotion this season, but the picture is clear in terms of what Johnsons wants to try and achieve, and it’s a challenge. To this end, how would sacking an experienced manager like some expendable pawn push the club further forward other than having more pressure heaped upon the next poor sucker to remain in a play-off spot and guarantee us promotion to satisfy entitled fans.
