We had no midfield at all so defenders were forced to aimlessly lump it long. That's not even what Jarvis is best at anyway. I feel confident that when he comes back he'll contribute because the team overall is playing a much better style of football.

that's not to say a long ball is automatically 'bad' - look at Halstead's quick clearance to Collins in a recent game. Goal. That's great play, even if the ball does travel 60 yards before getting to Collins.

Previously we appeared to have no plan, so the default was to kick it long to take away from our own area (that didn't work because that meant it just came back)

What is known in the trade as a Reactivate signing .. getting cover in quickly after an injury.
It wouldn't occur to Johnson to act as quickly or indeed at all !!
