terrytini Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I said at the time it was a mistake to swap keepers how we did. If you are going to do it you have to be really sure the new guy is first class, it's the one position where the pressure on the replacement is immense. We saw what a mess Sherwood got into when he dropped a poor Guzman and then had to play a poor Given. In addition as it happens, I never saw much wrong with Gollini. Having said all that it seems he didn't really want to be here in which case forget all that !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper - pretty obvious to everyone . he swapped an inexperienced keeper for an inexperienced keeper . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This... was like having Brad G at his worst back in goal, poor hands, defence seemed nervous when playing back towards goal and shitt kicking. Miffed with the whole Golini situation, thank god it's a loan Edited January 31, 2017 by honest_bertie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Better hope there's no compulsory purchase at the end of his loan deal. Utterly inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limvillian Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) What the hell was he at for the second goal. It was 3 yards out when the Brentford player applied the finishing touch. He should have been out and claimed that ball all day. As for the pathetic punch when the ball was waist high in the second half??? Dear lord. This guy is worse than Enkleman.

dudevillaisnice Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Claudio Bravo of the championship. Will never make it at United and certainly shouldn't be here after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Can we get Gollini back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 31, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2017 All we needed was a half decent championship stopper. He worries me. Punched one today which was an easy catch at the far post. Just don't understand it. Let scunthorpe train the young keepers on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I can't see how he is at fault for the goals but I guess we gotta blame someone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he didn't make a major error doesn't mean he wasn't at fault. Taking the third for example. Do I expect him to save it, probably not. Was it possible to stop that? Definitely. He decided to just fall flat on his arse though. Didn't dive, didn't make himself big, didn't come forward and close the angle. Just sat down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 He flaps, fumbles and makes odd decisions. Does not inspire confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Said from the beginning this struck me as Bruces/Walshs answer to RDM/Battara. Pointless signing. At least the Italian was kinda exotic. Should have just gotten an old head or stuck with Gollini ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Why did he come out and dive for the first Brentford goal? Just stand up and make yourself big so the bloke can't chip it straight into the middle of the goal. He's crap. In every aspect of his game. His punching especially, is embarrassing. I hate him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Would rather have loaned in an Italian goalkeeping coach and kept Gollini around. As @Delphinho123 said, his punching is shit. The problem is compounded by the fact he refuses to do anything but punch the ball. He just has nothing to his game as a goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 So bad I'd even consider putting bunn in goal ahead of him and bunn is poor . is Jed steer fit again yet ? If so then give steer a run of games as Johnstone is not good enough and the only ones benefitting are united . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'd go as far as to say that Johnstone is not only a downgrade on Bunn in terms of ability, he's also a downgrade in terms of instilling any sort of belief in his back 4. We already knew his attitude stank. What's the point in bringing in a team of top Championship players and putting a terrible keeper behind them to make them even more nervous to make a mistake because they know it's most likely going to end up in the back of the net. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewFromT2 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Just a quick stat check.....to back up my feelings that our back four, although never at any point this season 'solid', have certainly looked more shaky since Johnstone came in. Gollini: Played 19.5 games - Conceded 17 goals (0.87 pg) Bunn: Played 5.5 games - Conceded 7 goals (1.27 pg) Johnstone: Played 3 games - Conceded 6 goals (2 pg) We are scoring an average of 1 goal per game, it's not difficult to see which way our season is going unless a) Johnstone finds some improvement or we start averaging 3 goals per game.
