Would be my MoM today. Not just for the penalty save, he commanded around the edge of the area too and was alert when called on although for long periods he wasn't involved.

Good performance from Johnstone today in general + added points for a very good penalty save. Can't knock him today.

Played very well today. Credit where it is due. Hopefully give him some confidence.

Almost, you forgot to mention his pathetically slow distribution of the half time cuppa!
Which I am sure our boards experts will be all too aware of
But it’s only those who mention his weakness that are being unfair or daft?

Thought he had a good game today, more than the pen save I was really pleased to see him come and claim crosses, maybe he needed to get angry?

Maybe the criticism of him gave him a kick up the backside. But it can also destroy a players confidence. It can make him be fearful of making the tiniest error for fear of being slated.
Albion fans seem to have at least one first team player they love to hate.

If Sam put in a performance like this every match there would be no criticism from me. He was boss in his area, he read the game well and came off his line to deal with possible danger, and his distribution was generally good and timely. Oh and he did the extra and saved the penalty that should not have been given. From one of your greatest critics may I say very well done sir. Long may you continue to prove me wrong

Good to see balanced views on here, yes some players need an arm, some need a rollocking, maybe Sam needs a point to prove

Looked like he had a point to prove today. Great pen save and a few other decent ones in reality as good as won us a point today as a second goal would have killed us.

Well done SJ
O Albion we love you

Much better from him on all accounts. Decisive, quick off his line and some good saves to keep us in the game.

Well done. More of it.

To be fair today he looked really good thought his sweeping up around the edge of the box was excellent.

Played well today, glad he made the penalty save and started doing his talking on the pitch. Next stop, consistency please.

My thoughts exactly, more like the keeper i thought he was when we signed him.

I've been critical of Sam in the past, but he was outstanding yesterday. I want to see this level of performance regularly moving forward.

I'm sure he always gives 100%, one thing is for sure, continual sniping from the side lines will not improve performance levels.

I believe it’s 4 but that’s off the top of my head so I stand to be corrected

It has done the job after playing very well on Saturday. I think people are getting carried away with the "comments made" about his goalkeeping.
It is a "forum" and sometimes these comments can help improve a players game or attitude.
We all want him to improve...he is part of the "Baggies Family"and hopefully he will have an outstanding season.

Albion fans seem to have at least one first team player they love to hate.

From experience, and I'm going back to 1969, the fans you speak about in general don't even go to matches. How do we know these "fans" on social media are Albion or other teams' supporters? They just seem to be troublesome keyboard operators looking and receiving attention from the many media outlets, not only locally, but national and international.

And how did you come by the results of the survey?
