VillaChris Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Very much proved wrong as I didn't want us to bring him back as thought he was average last season and we could do better. He's been excellent and made key saves at big moments so well done Sam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 He is having a very good season and if he keeps it up we will need to be promoted to keep him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 If we go up this season, it could well be down to him. Difference between winning and losing or at best drawing yesterday. Two absolute top drawer saves, for nailed on goals. Whatever he costs, he is worth it, I hope DeGea stays at Man Utd, coz he could well fill his boots if he goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a dig at anybody, just thinking we were very attacking and capable of scoring goals. Keeper clangers and defense being nervous of them played a huge part in our undoing last season.

Not a dig at anybody, just thinking we were very attacking and capable of scoring goals. Keeper clangers and defense being nervous of them played a huge part in our undoing last season. Actually, I'd prefer never having to think about RDM again, but... There are so many hypotheticals here: 1. That RDM would have had the knowledge, nous and persuasive powers to get Johnstone in, given that his first choice was Gollini 2. That RDM, even if he did get Johnstone, would have had the coaching set up able to improve the player as has happened under Steve Bruce 3. That RDM would have ben able to create the solidity in defence to support Johnstone. Just reminded myself of the defence in RDM's final game: Hutton, Elphick, Chester, Cissokho. Not sure how well even Johnstone would have done with that horror show in front of him If under RDM "were very attacking and capable of scoring goals" how do you explain the fact that we only managed 10 goals in his 11 league games with us?

Eastie Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 When you look at Pickford going for a reported £30m to Everton then we have done well to get Johnstone on loan again - would have been better still had we an agreement to buy but united have a 12 month option on him next summer so wouldn’t be a huge fee involved if we do go up . This lad will only get better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 23, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2017 Unsure on his positioning for their goal, but brilliant save in the second half. When you're in the sort of form he is in you can forgive the odd small error. Really pleased with him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
