Sam Johnstone - now retired

[PaulWinch again]

I've seen nothing to suggest he's an upgrade on Gollini at the moment.

[PeterWithesShin]

I assumed Dave meant Gollini.

[aj2k77]

This kid is fucking gash anyway, no point defending him he's only been here a handful of games and fucked up in a good portion of them already. Send him back to Man Ure, blood our own youngsters.

[oldham_villa]

Absolutely no value in keeping him here. You could sort of accommodate the idea if he was good - he's strictly average

[wittonwarrior]

All he is a  decent shot stopper we need a Marshall or Myhill or even Ruddy  if Norwich will sell  at the end of the season.

The art of goal keeping  is much different to the era  of Spinks  or Rimmer.  Lighter ball, other rule changes are not making the skill any easier to master, but why go for a like for like - we need experience.

[Pete]

Is there any word of when Jed Steer will be back? He did very well here in Huddersfield last season. Would probably be a safer bet than any of the others we have.

[villan from luton]

I think Steer is out for the season.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's looked no better than Gollini, and he was an absolute fucking chump

[CT]

Fills me with no confidence at all.

He's no better than Gollini, who was our player. Now we're stuck looking after Man Utd's employee.

[Old Kodjia]

Up to now, a terrible signing.  No justification in releasing Gollini on loan.

I'm so pissed off at having abysmal keepers, I give up.

There is no real point in even thinking about organising your defence when your keeper gives them no confidence whatsoever.

At least he made a save today-First one since he's been here.

[Clark W Griswold]

If we're going to spend £10m+ on a player in the summer can we please make it a goalkeeper and sort this position out once and for all.

[Dave]

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.

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

Maybe "they" thought Johnstone was the much better option.

Well on what he's shown so far, it can be added to a worryingly growing list of shit decisions by Bruce and his team.

[dave17]

Cocky not confident. Second goal was also down to him and chester

[Nastylee]

I think Gollini pushed for a move back home so this transfer was forced. However, he's not ready for first team football at this level. This needs to be a priority in the summer.

[VillaAlways]

May as well give Sarkic a go. He can't be any worse and is up for Player of the month at his level.
