Did you read it?

It pretty much consistently acknowledges that he's been poor in the first team so far but needs time.

Is that not what others said?

Of course I read it, hence why I posted it. Nah others said he hasn’t shown any basic attributes and there’s been zero positives so no glimpses. The article doesn’t say he’s been ‘poor’, more so highlighting some poor bits and good bits so far, which is all others and I said.

A classic example of a player being written off before having a starting run in the team.

Have some bloody patience.

Blake was injured when we signed him. There was little doubt he was a good player.

That came to light later….

Well written and informative article that.
Interesting that they've got him in January to give him that time to settle/bed in and they want him for the PL more than the championship
Personally I'd rather he got all that sorted now, because we will need him firing on all cylinders next season.

A naive signing.

We could just give him a bit of time.
It seems important to some that Foster should fail, which I find absurd.

Unlike the author of the article of seen no more in Obafemi then Foster apart from the two goals. If anything Foster seems to fit in the team better. Of course I'm not writing either off.

The opposite for me but I didn’t go to Blackpool. Very early days with Foster though and some players need more time than others. I’m sure VK knows what he is doing. Would personally like to see more of Dervisoglu.

Go on then, how much time is seen as adequate?

If he scores more than 8 goals in a Burnley shirt I'll bump this thread myself whilst showing my arse in Fosters shop window.

Does Foster have a shop for you to show your arse in?

Obafemi has a good bit of experience at this level, not a seasoned pro by any means, but more experience than Foster.

I’ve seen little so far that suggests he’s much better than his performance against us for Swansea.

I’m hoping that there’s plenty more to come from both of them. It’s Foster for me that’s shown a bit more in the way of potential, even if those instances were a little blink and you might miss it!

Miles better today a good effort prior to a fantastic finish for his goal. Also superb set up from Obefemi.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:15 pm

The 1st of many hopefully, and he took it we well.

Now he's got his first he'll surely be more relaxed and this should show in his play.

Dark Cloud · Post by **Dark Cloud** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:18 pm

Pleased for the guy and hopefully the start of showing exactly what he can do. Tremendous finish today from an excellent set up by Obefemi. Hope it kick starts a lot more.

Big shout out to those weirdos who wrote him off after about five minutes. Try backing the players next time.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:36 pm

Showed more confidence today I thought and took his goal brilliantly. V glad he’s off the mark and looking forward to him kicking on from here.

Shock horror. Player takes a couple of months to settle in a new country and get to know his team mates. I don’t think patience is a thing any more

BurnleyFC · Post by **BurnleyFC** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:48 pm

Was a great finish from him today.

claretspice · Post by **claretspice** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 6:57 pm

If he had showed on debut what he showed today (even without the goal) there'd have been folk getting seriously carried away. A real goal threat, some lovely one touch link play and a handful physically. And that finish was top drawer.

6 weeks into his transition and he's beginning to shape up just fine. You could see what the goal meant to him and the weight it lifted off him. Great to see.

Thought he was better today but I still want to see him make more runs. Still a bit too much walking for me.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:21 pm

Was there really that many people writing him off? Most people said he'd looked poor, which he had but acknowledged there was plenty of time for him to come good.

Lord Beamish · Post by **Lord Beamish** » Sat Mar 11, 2023 7:24 pm

Just seen his goal online. He looked very lively onto an unorthodox assist from Obafemi. Darting between two defenders and finishing from a difficult angle. A nicely taken goal, no?

Did a lot of the dirty work today, was quick to get back and quick to move the defence about.

Not easy against a 5 man defence but I’m happy so far.

Delighted for him today, there is note to come!

Not surprised that he wasn't bought on last week but this was the perfect match for him to show everyone what he has got
