Quote: Chris71 "No argument on that but for some reason we started the season by flogging Houghton for 80 mins with only brief cameos of late by Johnstone. Last season under Last he seemed to get it right in terms of staring Johnstone then bringing Houghton on. The last 3 of 4 games Houghton has looked lack lustred & laboured.
I think with the 6 again and the amount in particular we give away it just highlights things & empties his tank and he is now at the latter end of his career and he can’t do 80 mins or near enough week in week out.'"
I know a lot on here dont agree but i still feel we will see Jamie Shaul in this role next season or even later this season if fit.
Whether Johnstone has anything more to his game that we dont see i dont know but personally just picking up the ball at the play the ball and passing to the nearest player doesnt cut it in S/L.
