Johnstone is a very good gk, its shocking that he isnt playing higher then League One at the moment....he could easily play for top championship side or even lower EPL(if fecking Green can...).

Amos is not good enough with the ball at his feet. Johnstone on the other hand looks a top keeper in the making. Really would have loved to see him get a chance in the cups or something but I suspect he will have to leave to get a proper chance at a top flight career.
I completely agree. If we dont intend to keep DDG long term, we should keep Johnstone!
I'm sure we very much intend to keep DDG long term. Whether we'll actually manage it or not is a different question.
I wouldn't get as high as that (the pressure of being number 1 at United is crazy) but with a good management of his development there's no reason he can't make a good number 2.
Move Lindegaard on somewhere so he can actually play somewhere and Johnstone should be the 3rd choice.
At Johnstone's age it makes sense to get him 1st team football than being the #3 and playing reserve football
Green is having a good season at Qpr in all fairness. He was also a fairly decent goalkeeper when Norwich were in the Premier League.
I think Johnstone can definitely play in the Championship, I'm not sure about the Premier League though. It would be interesting to see if he could cut it there or not.
I read a few months ago that young Serbian keeper Milinkovic will return from his loan in the summer and be third choice behind De Gea (Presuming he signs a new contract) and Valdes. I've also heard that Joel Pereira is also held in high regard by the club.
i think he is poor to be honest.....as for his Norwich spell, dont really remember how he did but he probably was decent as he earned the england call up.
Green's a great shot stopper, just very poor in the air and dealing with crosses.. Reminds me of Kuszczak
legend! 
He should probably sort out his grammar.
I'm not sure if the 'your' takes away from it or actually makes it even funnier."I'm your drunk, babe."
He'll get laid soon enough.
Sick burn. Reminiscent of Charlie Nicholas' "specsavers" zinger on Soccer Saturday
Does that girl realise the irony of her comments? I guess not.

Sam 
I felt actual second-hand embarrassment for her.
At least two more games for him at Preston
He played well. Made some vital saves and couldn't have done anything about the goal.
Shame it wasn't enough to give Preston automatic promotion.

Chesterfield 0:1 Preston
Another clean sheet for Big Sam, this time away to Chesterfield in playoff semis.....hopefully they would finish the job in the second leg.

would be a great experience to get the team to championship and even better to spend another year there on loan.. facing so many tough games. He may be ready next year once de Gea goes for free to Madrid.. How highly do we think of him, haven't seen him for a while now
i dont think we will ever produce young gk for the first team, to much risk off sacrificing results....the only way is through the loan system, "The Courtois way" but the chances of that happening are pretty small.
Regardless of Preston end to this season i think Sam should play at least in the Championship next season, if Preston go up he should stay there, if they dont we should find him another club, maybe Derby? Their gk doesnt look good....
Sam Johnstone > Sam Allardyce.There is only one Big Sam.
And another clean-sheet (plus a 3-0 Preston win) means he and his team-mates are going to Wembley
This lad ticks a lot of boxes for me. He needs to be playing competitive football not backup to the status quo. We should do what Chelsea did with Courtois and let him remain at PNE for at least the next two seasons
Fantastic experience for him. Going 'home' turned out to be a great decision
Proves the League 1 is a good enough level at the right club.
He'll have learned so much about commanding his box and the dirtier side of goalkeeping. What type of contract is he on with us?
Played in the 4-0 win over Swindon.. Made one good save, had very less to do overall. I think Swindon had like 3 shots on target the entire game? Preston completely thrashed them
Johnstone has always looked impressive. He's another loan season away from coming back to OT as a number 2 IMO, if he keeps developing at this rate. I hope we don't sell him.
I think he'll be a PL level GK at the very least and might even be good enough to be our #1. Has a shot if DDG goes and we stick with Valdes for the near future
If we end up with him as our number 2 next season with Valdes at 1, I will be surprised. Pleasantly, I might add.
Goes on the tour, looks like he's the #3 GK behind Lindegaard. I dunno if Valdes is injured or leaving the club but if it's the latter, wonder if LvG will keep Sam around rather than loan him out
I hope he does keep Johnstone at the club as he is very talented. Quite surprised Lindegaard is still here in all honesty.
