If we lose him and have to bring in a new keeper it will be a huge setback. Probably the player we can least afford to lose in the summer and I include Grealish in that assessment.He's a good shot-stopper and I'd like us to hang on to him, but let's not over-state it... Wolves proved there are smart acquisitions to be made between the sticks when they picked up Ruddy for approximately £0.Losing Chester IMO would be the biggest blow we could receive, and I think we most likely will if we don't get promoted.I agree - goalkeeper is one of the easier positions to fill with someone competent.Brian Clough would strongly disagree.I haven't been gone on any of our keepers since Bosnich. Most of them had decent spells at one point or other but can't think of any that went to a better team after us. I like Johnstone, think his distribution has improved as the season has gone on. Far better this season than last. Can be a bit naive and gets pinned to his line for set pieces too often. For a big lad should be a lot more commanding.

Every other kick went directly out of play, and I can't remember a single time there was any pressure on him from Leeds attackers. His distribution is still very much woeful.

If we get to the final have we got somebody who can organise the standing/seated, singing/non singing sections?
