Sam Johnstone - now retired

[Nastylee]

That error today was horrendous and completely swung the game. Grealish hammered the coffin shut.

Too easy just to blame  it on  Johnstone but he  is no better than Gollini which is  disappointing.

We should have gone for Marshall when Cardiff  got relegated, or dare I say Myhill. 

[Chris Harte]

I couldn't see the point in taking a young keeper on loan unless he was something special. Clearly he's a long way from that so we might have well have stuck with Gollini.

Oh well.

Huge fuck up by Bruce not buying a decent keeper

[PeterWithesShin]

I said at the time and still think so, replacing a young inexperienced keeper you own with another young and inexperienced keeper you don't own seems a tad bizarre.

Interesting that the first thing Silva did was change the keeper when he took over at Hull and promote the keeper Bruce only played in cup games. He's been superb and kept clean sheets at Old Trafford and against Liverpool.

He is shit.
The management decision to bring him in is who i am blaming not SJ. Why bring in a player who is;
1) inexperienced
2) young
3) we have no option to buy

What is SJ's motivation with regards the Villa? We can't buy him, he wont replace de gea... so where does that leave him? In my opinion there is not enough long term concequence for him to progress how he needs to.
Its bizarre how the former hull experienced keeper (mccgregor) who Buse used to have was allowed to go on loan to Cardiff no we didn't go in for him?

[Steve67]

I blame all of them. Yes the keeper screwed up the shot but how fricking deep are the defence and midfield? We invited Forest on. Crap tactics. 

[saunders_heroes]

Said it earlier but he's too young to be our number one keeper. We're stuck with him now though.

[Brend'Watkins]

I think he is better than Gollini. He catches the ball for a start. Youth and inexperience for the first, that happens during a keepers development.

That's not what you want from a goalkeeper brought in on loan for six months to be your first choice keeper.

Maybe we could have developed and given experience to the young keeper we owned, rather than the one we didn't.

[QuintonVilla]

He couldn't catch a fucking cold.

[aj2k77]

Shit singing. Team crying out for an experienced head at the back signs rookie fucking donkey from someone's reserves. Well done.

Maybe "they" thought Johnstone was the much better option. I know little about our youth keeper, I do think though that even with the mistakes this one has made he's still an upgrade on Bunn or Gollini.
