I said after watching him in the friendlies he wasn't going to be up to it. He as done nothing to prove me wrong. Get Bond in.

Apart from the two games after DM went, he's offered nothing and I think he's cost us a few points. I'm not even convinced he's championship standard.

I'd take him out for his own good , he has shown good things since signing no doubt and is still a decent age but how many soft goals has he been involved in ? . Not all his fault as they are told to play like it but I'd start Bond on Saturday.

According to James Shan we were told to take no risks at the back on Tuesday night so if that's the case it was Johnstone's fault to play that pass that lead to their opener. His and Livermore's.

I know he's dodgy but shooting him seems a tad excessive even for me, fair play for the proactive sentiment though  ;D  ;) .

disobeying coaches instructions deserves a few games on the bench.

Needs dropping to the bench. He rarely comes for crosses, corners and is frozen to his line too often. The first goal against Millwall was awful and against Bristol City he was even worse. IMO he's just average.

Cannot start on Saturday, he's like a sh!tting dog at the minute and is making an already poor back 4 even worse.

I'm not sure whether we're allowed to call him thick but he surely cannot be far off.

I think from the outset on Tuesday most would understand that Bristol City are a very energetic side who would look to press in packs when the opposition have possession.

To be a minute into the game, with a no risks approach, to play a pass to a cumbersome Livermore with at least three players hounding down on him is so ridiculous it warrants being called thick.

Mind boggling stupidity.

It is almost like he and others are on the pitch to make up the numbers. There seems to be no game head, no understanding of the opposition, no understanding of his own players.

No. Not really.

Expected much better of him to be honest

I don’t believe there is one good or outstanding aspect of his game

I concur, also there are several aspects of his game that are very poor. Crosses and long shots to name two.

As well as closing down when strikers approach, lack of communication, inability to take control of his 18 yard box and lack of common sense to add a few more.

Not really that impressed by him.

He's ok but thats about it...hes ok

He makes some good saves at times but his all round game is pretty poor for me

I was really excited when we signed him as his stats from the last couple of seasons were very good, not just the amount of clean sheets as that relies on defenders too, but things like percentage of shots saved, distribution etc.

I've been so disappointed by him, he looked better when Shan first came in but other than that he has looked ropey for most of the season.

Time to give Bond the gloves I think.

If Bond gets the gloves here's hoping he's up to life in the mixer and doesn't leave us as shaken and stirred as Mr Johnstone......

Would be nice for Bond to get a run of games, rather than the odd job here and there.

It makes no difference who is in goal with that defence in front of you. I would say his nerves are shot now, so give Bond a go, but if we keep defending like we do another keeper will be ruined.

I didn't go today, but watched the goals. Surely he has to be dropped now for Bond? I was shocked but what I saw, he literally was a paper bag. Absolutely awful performance, should have saved both Hull goals comfortably. If we don't drop him how can we win the play offs? Can't believe we paid £5m for him, what a poor signing it has turned out to be.

Granted he should have done better with the goals but the sarcastic jeering when he caught the ball wont help things.
