Johnstone will hopefully go back to United this summer and we'll never see him in a Villa jersey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Can we not invoke the footballing equivalent of article 50 and **** him off then get an emergency goalkeeper in for having to witness such shitness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 How do we always get ourselves in this mess? Getting a solid keeper for this level really isn't that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Disastrous signing IMO. The one thing you want a keeper to have is confidence and command his area. He does neither. There may be a good keeper in there somewhere but we can't be the laboratory to find that out. Bunn has to play as the lesser of to evils. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgetaway Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Such a weird signing. We lost points at the start of the season watching Gollini settle. Then we ship him out and are doing the same with this guy. I'm sure this experience will be invaluable to their development though, and they'll thank us when playing top flight football in a few years. Meanwhile we will be cost cutting as we didn't get promoted, after loaning a championship rival £17m worth of player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody have a statistic that shows how many of those matches were down to keeping errors? I would be interested to know. Not sure but off the top of my head it's got to be at least 10 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Needs another couple of seasons in the development squad, lads nowhere near ready to be first choice in the first team. Obviously confidence is shot and needs taking out the spotlight with immediate effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones with a single asterisk are instances of us dropping points when we were winning with less than five minutes to play and the Preston game was where we blew a two goal lead relatively late on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 5, 2017 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2017 Watch teams rough him up on corners now with shots galore coming at him from all directions and oppo forwards following up at every opportunity. Because of that Bruce needs to rest him but it depends on the loan agreement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The lad has had a disastrous start his confidence is shot and a struggling backline isn't helping him either he has come highly rated but a bit like a lot of players when they but on a Villa jersey they seem to immediately struggle I hope he improved we need him to need to keep clean sheets going to struggle otherwise .

Yes you are probably right on that one we were getting there defensively and he has come in over the last 4/5 games and we look all over the place . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnstone was bad but Henderson wasnt that much better, he had an absolute mare in the 1st half. dropped a Kodjia long range effort and then dropped a set-piece which I think Elphick should have put away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst loan signing ever and one of the biggest managerial mistakes. I think Gollini wanted out anyway so we would have needed a new keeper. Should have gone for experience though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hopefully there isn't any "prestige" in this signing so Bruce doesn't feel he has to keep playing him because it was his signing. Drop him and send him back to Man U. He isn't helping us, and his development will not be helped by him remaining here making costly mistakes week in and week out.
