hippo Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I think his performance was one of the few positives on saturday. a fine double save and cleanly took a couple of crosses under pressure. no problem with him on that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 surprised no mention but he had a bit of a mare without being at fault for a goal. nearly made one of classic goalkeeping blunders which he stopped on the line and a couple bad kickouts nearly led to a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He did make some decent saves but he put us under pressure a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without him they'd have scored 7 or 8. One of the few players who can leave that game with any credit. He seems to be another whose face just doesn't fit. He'll be this seasons scapegoat I reckon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Seemed alright tonight. Not great, perhaps, but a couple of smart saves and some decent passing (long range, granted) at times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Could he have come and punched for Norwich's second? It was very clear that Murphy was going to put the ball on Oliveira's head, but maybe it was too fast or he was too far away. Side note - that Murphy looks like a real prospect.

Nah, Terry got caught out really. No way Johnstone is coming out of goal for that ball. I forgot to comment at the time - and this kid gets a load of stick for no real reason, so I'll post some positives - he was good coming out of goal in the first half against Norwich. A couple of times they broke and the ball was in behind Hutton/Terry/Chester (I think both times down our right, perhaps?) with Murphy and Jerome running on to the ball. Johnstone came out and, against Murphy, put in a cracking tackle. Against Jerome, did enough to make him fluff his lines. Astute goalkeeping in any case, particularly given our relatively-slow defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2017 He got caught out big time in the first half when he came for a long ball and got done but luckily it didn't come to anything. Other than that I thought it was another solid game for him. He looks a lot better than last season. Particularly under crosses and high balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Fantastic today. Probably the only reason why Bruce hasn't been sacked yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 On an absolutely different level to everyone else in the side, and only he and Taylor were of an acceptable standard today. I take back some of the negative things I've said, what a performance. The sole reason we didn't lose the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He's been much better overall this season to be fair, some brilliant saves today as well. Good to see as I wasn't exactly delighted when we got him in again this summer but he's proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junxs Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thats the best ive seen him play, I've been one of his harshest critics as well. Keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The fact that we've had to rely so much on Johnstone already is a damning indictment of Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
