While Johnstone was the better all round keeper out of the two Button is not a significant downgrade. Cardiff aside our lack of clean sheets this season does not make Johnstone a better keeper and it does not mean he didn't make some embarrassing howlers.

The biggest difference between the two is that one of them has Manchester United on his CV and the other doesn't. As for having England on his CV too Johnstone can thank his lucky stars for the dearth of English goalkeeping talent allied to injuries to those who are better than himself.
