Absolutely a must win. We can't afford to let the relegation race be a 4 team thing and even if we win and everything goes our way, we'd still a) be in the relegation spaces b) be 4 points off Everton and Leicester who have already pulled away. Absolutely dreadful start to the season and the...

There is a difference between being respectful and aware of Brightons threats, and then this. Dreadful ambition. Fixtures, issues or whatever aside no one should survive this in isolation, let alone once you factor in last year's end.

He made tons of saves but he still has the same poor baseline stats from the looks of it. Ramsdale won player of the season for Blades when they were relegated, despite the downgrade he provided from Henderson the previous season being part of the reason they started so poorly.

At his best though he is a lower half starter. Johnstone has never been that and is not improving.

Yes but Sa is still here. I would have been happy with an upgrade on him, but we downgraded and then started the downgrade. That's more than a managed decline, it's just odd. Regardless of how poor he was versus Chelsea.

Not for me. The team with the weakest keeper is always found out. And Sam Johnston is the worst starting keeper in the league when he starts. I can't find the save that Patricio made versus Sterling, what year was that? It's insane we have gone from that level of keeper to having to a 'bargain'...

They weren't. But he does show far too much of the goal to Barnes. Right footed player cutting in like that and he is rooted back and showing far too much of the strong side of the goal. It's partly inviting the shot and few others at this level would start so deep and that is one of the many...

Sa has just put in the only keeping performance even vaguely up to the standard needed that we have seen this season. Johnstone has no right starting at this level in anything other than a backup/emergency role.

Whilst obviously my own personal stance and even having sympathy for it and understanding the emotions of it right after a game; he does need to stop with this unconscious bias, moaning about VAR and feeding the wider conspiracy theory types out there. If the Premier League were so intent on...

Henderson been very good this season but that's very poor. Think he has lost his bearings with the back peddle.

Yeah he does well to even get a hand on that. This is feeling like under McCarthy teams would spank long rangers and quality hits like that against us all too frequently due to lack of pressure or sitting too deep.

Yeah I get the quality of them but this is too deep and panic stations for how early it still is.

There are goal keepers in that league yes? Please just watch the goal keepers!

Yes but how many other 19 year olds got 4 goals in the Premier league that season?! (Can't remember the exact quote)

They have Celtic in the next league game at Park Head, so a reason for people to watch.

Only just spotted that is Forde that was at Wolves, feels like a very long time ago but he is only 30.

I stole this saying, but I like the phrase "if you are going to make a mistake, make it at full speed; as you might get away with it then." And King just summed up why I would say that to players and keepers in particularly. Everything about that was indecisive, and so he stacked inaction on a...

Tom King making Johnstone look world class there.

That is for last season the data. We will have had an impact on this seasons as let on 3 goals in the same manner despite it being so early in the year you would imagine the stats for back post is higher due to us.

For all the sneering and laughing at this set piece guy (and believe me I have been part of that). It shouldn't be missed that other teams seem to have spotted this and then adapted to what they have seen as a clear weakness. I have to only just had a quick look at the stats this evening, but...
