33 stitches in his lip but still wants to play this week according to Bruce. Fairplay.
I'm still not convinced by him.

looks no better than Albert to me, but fair play to the guy for wanting to play yesterday.

Same here, not sure what he brings to the team.Speed and movement. He didn't do anything amazing yesterday but neither did he do anything terrible. Just a hard working performance where he did the basics well and helped keep their defence on their toes.
I'm still not convinced by him. He needs to look at the other side of the pitch to see how Taylor and Green work so hard to support each other.
I do wish we would stop hitting every goal kick in his direction especially as Johnstone's kicking isn't exactly accurate and doesn't get there a lot of the time.

Goalkeeper boots the ball up to Elmo to head on. After 3 or 4 consecutive attempts, Johnstone obviously took it upon himself not to bother with the foolish nonsense. No doubt Bodger Bruce will have him practicing it all week at Bodymoor Heath. Overall I've been very impressed with Johnstone's kicking both in terms of distance and accuracy.
