Lambert getting all jolly over Oli

With 13 minutes remaining the league leaders were behind to the lowly Shrimpers, who had taken a shock lead on the stroke of half-time when Scott Vernon converted from close-range after Damien Scannell's cross had deflected off City defender Gary Doherty.[LNB]But Johnson then took centre stage, scoring from close-range to equalise after Steve Mildenhall had parried Grant Holt's shot and then heading home a corner deep into injury time to earn Lambert's side what had seemed an unlikely victory.[LNB]"That's what Oli can do for you," said Lambert, who signed the young striker from Stockport during the January transfer window. "When you consider the boy is not long out of non-league football, he has got terrific ability and at times he can be virtually unplayable.[LNB]"Every time we have brought him on he has made an impact and again he gave us the impetus to press on in the second half. He's got great feet and he is the sort of player who can come on and make things happen.[LNB]"The crowd really love him. He also showed what he could do in the air - his header was out of the very top drawer."[LNB][LNB]
