How dare he make saves and keep a clean sheet!

Wow. An absolutely stunning display of goalkeeping from SJ.
I hope that finally shuts up all the Johnstone moaners.

He was excellent tonight, that doesn't mean he's not been poor in other matches or might be in future.  If he plays poorly he should get criticised, if he plays well he should be complimented.

Lad was brilliant. Hopefully this stops the moaning about him for a while. Amazing the difference when he isn't told to play like Neuer.

The critisisms he has been receiving on this forum have been totally out of proportion, in comparison to others.

They haven't,  and tonight's praise appears to be in danger of going overboard...

All about opinions i guess. You think they haven't.  I think they have.

As I have said several times, he is not as good as Foster overall, but our problems do not lie with Johnstone, he is a decent keeper.

Coincidence that his best performance for us comes at the same time when he doesn’t have the pressure of constantly playing it out from the back.

Easily made 3/4 top saves. Good work Sam, deserves his clean sheet.

Special mention to Hegazi too.

He did what he’s paid to do tonight, nothing more, nothing less. It’s only because he’s been so terrible it feels like a small miracle. Fair play to him though nonetheless

Don't agree, 2 of the saves he had no right to make.

I’ve been saying for some weeks now that if he’s allowed to just worry about being a goalkeeper and not about being a ball player we’ll see a different keeper, hopefully getting rid of this passingmout from the back will see the defence and Johnstone both look far more comfortable and confident

Totally disagree.

Can think of 2 saves that would 90% of the time find the back of the night. His save from the header in first half was top class too.

Very harsh imo.
Our major deficiencies lie elsewhere.

Four good saves, of which two were excellent. Good distribution too.

Thought he was lucky in first save as he was rooted to the line. However second half save when coming across goal line was an absolute superb save.

I only consider there to be 2 saves he wouldn't be expected to make. It's what has been missing from his game all season. Digging us out when he has no right to. Always one of the main attributes of a good goalkeeper. Hopefully he can build on it.

Best performance in an Albion shirt to date from Johnstone and rightly deserves some praise this evening.

Let's not go overboard though, we need him to put in performances like tonight consistently.

Coincidence that his best performance for us comes at the same time when he doesn’t have the pressure of constantly playing it out from the back.

Easily made 3/4 top saves. Good work Sam, deserves his clean sheet.

Definitely noted. Seemed more comfortable.

Have to admit I'm starting to think Jacko has a valid point or two
Doesn't command his area or come for crosses
Not a terribly good (agile?) shot/header stopper
I would like to make an unqualified apology to Sam Johnstone and say he made some superlative stops today and came out for crosses and even punched one away
Well done Sam

Made some great saves today and earned us the points and clean sheet. No need for the 'where are all the moaners', 'that'll shut them up' posts etc though.

He was rightly criticised when playing poorly and rightly praised tonight when playing well.
