After managing to sneak a win against Preston North End, West Brom fans were thrilled with their team’s ability to seek out all three points. A last-minute penalty was crucial to the team’s success but a lot of work had to be done at the other end of the field as well.
Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone managed to keep a shutout during the match, making it his fifth in his last six away games. The West Brom Twitter account tweeted their appreciation of Johnstone, sharing his impressive statistic with fans. The supporters also sang his praises, claiming that he was ‘world-class’.
Always said it… world class SJ

Do you think Sam Johnstone will continue his great run of form?
Yes
No
Others admitted that they had their doubts about the 26-year-old going into the season, but all that is forgotten now. They fully trust him.
Not gonna lie, had my doubts about him at the start of the season but he’s starting to grow on me

What do we think?
It is never easy to convince football fans that they were wrong. But it appears that Johnstone has done just that. If he continues his performances, it would be a massive boost to West Brom who are hoping to not only secure promotion to the Premier League, but to win the Championship as well.
