I'm in the Johnstone camp, he's just another in the long line of players who don't float the boat of some supporters. When Foster was here he had a real rapport with the fans and he was no doubt the best keeper we've had for years. He was always going to be busier in the Premier league where we invited pressure and gave chances aplenty, and pulled off some worldy saves. He also made the odd mistake, but because we loved him it was quickly overlooked or forgotten. And although I don't particularly blame him, he jumped ship for the Premier league despite assurances he was going to be there to help get us back up. As I said I understand why he went but the way he went did leave a sour taste - but again very little was aimed at him for doing it.

I don't wash with all the slagging off of players, they can all have bad spells, it's if they don't care or try that gets me, yet I think we've rid the club of those sorts, Berahino, Chadli, Murphy, Lambert to name a few, but depending who they are get varying degrees of criticism from certain sections.

Brunt, Livermore, Johnstone and even Zahore after 3 games get pelters and love them or hate them they wear the shirt and are part of our club, I just think the level is unwarranted sometimes and as I say it's always the same players. Minds are made up by some before players walk through the door while others never actually get a fair crack of the whip if their form dips.
