bobzy Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 So, something I didn't realise until the stat was flashed up this game, Johnstone has the best save ratio in the Championship. Keep it up Sam! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up Sam! Over 75% I think. Also 12 clean sheets this season I believe! Impressive stats! The save today from the shot from distance was class. The ball had wicked movement on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Yes, it was an excellent save. Shouldn't go unremembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Decent news as far as continuity is concerned but Steer is just as capable so he wouldn't be that much of a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...but Jed Steer is out for the season so at least in short term this is good news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven a lot of us wrong after last year and progressing nicely. All going well for both clubs and him at this moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Would like him to come off his line more for crosses in the 6 yard box but it’s good News he’s staying . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Next to useless at set pieces. Might aswell get a deckchair out. Infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 How did he do today? Saw their goal and he has to be claiming that. I don't think that area of his game is improving enough. Centre halves are normally able to deal with it but it has cost us a few goals this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) He was brilliant today. Made some really good saves. He is a young goalkeeper and definitely one of the better ones I have seen at his age. Edited January 20, 2018 by omariqy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He was solid, as he usually is. All the saves he made you'd expect him to make, there'd be big problems if he let those efforts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a young goalkeeper and definitely one of the better ones I have seen at his age. His shot stopping is excellent. His kicking is “patchy”. I think “brilliant” would require much better use of the ball. Part of the reason the second half was pretty ropey was the tendency of the outfield players to back pass and then SJ would frequently kick the ball straight to Barnsley. It absolutely favoured them, not us. That situation wasn’t Sam’s making, but it handed the advantage to Barnsley. So the outfield players should have been told to stop passing back so much, and Sam’s kicking needs to be more accurate for him to be brilliant.

Stevo985 Posted January 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think he's decent enough in this league. I wouldn't be too confident if he was our keeper next season if we go up. I'm just unsure. No problem if we do sign him for a decent enough fee. But i won't be upset if we looked elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He has a tendency to launch the ball too much, thereby often handing the possession back to the opposition. Definitely a much improved player though. Premier League if we get there - not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think he is typical of a developing Goalkeeper. Good shot stopper ( its usually what they get right first) some of the other things improve in time. I think he has the hallmarks of being a very good goalkeeper in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 21, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2018 It's great not to expect that just because a striker has broken through on goal that's he's inevitably going to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
