    Ben Foster.

    Just watched 'Match of the Day' and his performance against Brighton. I know fans will say that it's now in the past but that's what we are missing. He was absolutely brilliant. I fully understand that he is a hard act to follow and we shouldn't look back but I feel that his absence is the difference to our position now and where we could be.

    Comparing Foster to Johnstone is like comparing Man City to Stockport! Johnstone looks frightened to death every time the ball comes in the box and his positioning is shocking. Worst keeper seen for us for a long time! One day Moore will wake up and wonder why we leak so many goals and those in front of Johnstone look nervous

    Listing to the radio the other week and John Motson was saying he was going to see who he thought had been the best keeper in the premier league so far this season - Yes Ben Foster.
    I think if he was still with us we’d be 5 – 6 points better off at his stage.

    But lets not get on Sam J’s back. He had a good game against Bolton and had being showing signs of improvement up until yesterday .
    I ‘ve said in another post Pulis somehow manages to put the Hoodoo on us in one way or another even Foster himself as a recall when his last second clearance bounced off Ryan Shotton and ricocheted into the back of the net.

    He should have come for the third.

    More like 10 points! Johnstone is worst keeper seen in many years!

    Foster is indeed highly missed, always one of the best keepers in the PL.
