Sam Johnstone - now retired

Put any old sod in goal and it won't matter the way we deny the opposition efforts at goal.

[SoccerHQ]

He's done better, still not convinced.

I agree, couple of times he should've caught it and punched which got the crowd frustrated although he was alert with that terrible Taylor backpass.

I too think there's better out there but given he has no future at Man. United he'll probably be an easy permanent signing to make.

I'd steer clear of him, he's done Ok but I still want someone a bit more commanding, I still feel like he's got a rick in him every game, even though he has stopped making them, if that makes any sense.

[Brend'Watkins]

He should be brimming with confidence. Didn't look like it last night.

the predilection to punch rather than catch the ball makes for  squeaky bum viewing in L5.

[Keeno]

He's still very young for a keeper - and the potential is there, a few bad punching decisions aside. Is there not a case to say that if we make a signing or two and retain this really good defensive solidity that is Bruce's trademark, we get him in for another year/permanently and try and sustain a full promotion-pushing season with him? Look at what Burnley have done with another United third choice keeper and now England international Tom Heaton.

Short term? Yeah, you could probably buy a 32 year old experienced keeper and be solid. With the long-term in mind I'm in favour of doing what we can to keep him permanently and persevering through the occasional bad decision.

[Mortimer's Bear]

He's done better, still not convinced.

How many more consecutive clean sheets does he need to keep to convince you?

I don't mind punched clearances if it's done properly but there were a few dodgy attempts last night.

[darren woolley]

I think he will only get better and he's still young so I would sign him up.

[Toronto Villa]

Has rejoined for another go

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We go again.

[cdbearsfan]

Good stuff. One less position to worry about.

[Goldie.7]

Makes sense. He's out of contract at the end of the loan, this could be good or bad... time will tell.

[manic-road]

I don't mind Johnstone re signing, I think he will do a decent job for the club.
