I’ve I were Sam Johnson I would slip something into Henderson’s water bottle are pay somebody like thomkins or Jairo to have a bit of a ‘heavy’ challenge on Henderson in training to nobble him, nothing major just enough to give SJ his place back.

I’m not normally an advocate for the darker arts but needs must and we need our best keeper between the sticks asap.

Johnstone's amongst the best I've seen at Palace. He has such a complete set of skills for the modern game. He perhaps has a slight weakness at controlling his area - I don't think he's really the full sweeper keeper but he's excellent all round really.
Henderson's probably on a par with Guaita - who was good but had similar weaknesses. Crosses and high balls seem his issue - which is a problem for us as our centre backs are not the best at dealing with crosses or the high ball either. Hence, the conceding of goals from corners etc. Reflex saves I'd put Johnstone slightly ahead but distribution I'd put Johnstone far ahead.

Red and Blue Army!

Happy with both I think Johnstone was having a bit of an unconvincing spell before he got injured and Henderson took his chance well although I'd agree that Johnstone has looked more assured at times.

The idea that a goalkeeper can just go through a player and get the ball when he's player standing on him is a myth. Henderson was fouled against Arsenal got a bit of rough press IMO. There would have been a VAR check at the other end at least.

I don't think either are as good as Guaita.

Both better than Guaita..!!

According to Alan Nixon we’re in talks with Forest to sell Johnstone for £15m now. It would be a real shame to lose him as I think he’s class, especially to a team we’ll be battling with to stay up…

If he does go - I guess we’ll have Henderson in goal for a while now. I must say it’s a thought that doesn’t excite me. Let’s hope he gets better in time. Just feels like the club are letting the better keeper go, which would seem a really strange call. Let’s see what tomorrow has in store.

It now appears that Forest are to buy the Keeper from Strasburg . That should end their interest in Johnstone, For what it is worth i think Johnstone is by far a better goalkeeper than Henderson, and i would hope that we do not make the same mistake of 50 years ago when we got rid of John Jackson for Paul Hammond/Tony Burns absolute criminal at the time
