    He was our best attacker in the first half. Kuhn played him into trouble with a crazy back pass in the second.

    Great sliding tackle on Matondo I think it was to win the ball and come away with it

    He was my man of the match today, CCV running him close but I thought he really stood up to their physicality.

    Great performance today. Hopefully with a good pre-season he'll come back more like Ange-era Johnston.

    I've never really rated him, but I'm beginning to think I got that wrong. There was a while there today when we were being physically bullied and he was one of the few standing up to their physicality. I knew he would too, never doubted it. He's really growing on me this last couple of months.

    He was my MOTM. His bursting runs took the pressure off a good few times but most importantly he dealt with multiple different hun threats over the course of the game without ever looking troubled.

    Brilliant all day. He's quality, did dip earlier in season, but has been back on it recently.

    A player I’m more than happy with. He should be our nailed on RB for years to come. Only 25 and proper loves it here and not the type of player to attract a massive bid I’d imagine. Johnston, CCV, McGregor, Maeda and Kyogo should be the backbone of our team for the Rodgers 2.0 Era.

    He was superb yesterday.

    More like the Johnston we seen under Ange.

    What a slide tackle he had. Can’t remember who it was on.

    I like Johnston a lot.

    If he can show what he did on Saturday more often or go back to form under Ange, we have a great right back.

    He was very inconsistent this season, like a lot of others. Lots of reasons, obviously but we need him to stand up like he did on Saturday. He's not a newbie anymore.
