Certainly Johnstone could be criticised for some aspects of his game but surely can't deny the number of class saves he pulled off, particularly in the 2020/21 season. You don't win player of the year awards for nothing, even with the club being relegated.

That said, Johnstone was never going to match Foster or other Albion greats. I liked Palmer and agree with others on here that if we had kept him then there were probably several games we would not have conceded last season but our PSR situation likely dictated that move.

With a better defensive back four in front of him, at least Griffiths' confidence has much improved now though as have his performances and he was as important in getting our 3 points yesterday as either Mikey or Isaac.
