"Whether you raise your voice or not as long as it gets into their psyche hopefully they improve. They are certainly gaining experiencing with us, that's for sure."
Johnson also backed Norwich City loanee Korey Smith to be a success with the Glovers after signing a three-month loan before Saturday's defeat at stadium:MK, making his debut as a second half substitute.
The 21-year-old boasts more than 60 appearances for the Canaries in League One and enjoyed a temporary spell at Barnsley last season.
The boss said: "He is a midfield player really but we wanted him in that little hole and we wanted his energy.
"When he gets on the ball more, we pass to him more and we give him more of the ball and don't give it away he is going to be a little find for us."
