Re: Foster
Chuffed for him.
Hopefully will put the drivel on here to bed. He's our next Danny Ings.

Re: Foster
Absolutely delighted for him. I had a feeling it would be his day when he came on, and he took it ever so well. Hopefully he gets a few now.
Barnes has been class but I might just give Foster the start against Hull…

Re: Foster
Really pleased to see him get off the mark today. Actually thought it was a really difficult chance given the angle but he smashed it home!
Should do him the world of good!

Re: Foster
Was a good finish, if confidence is low chances like that where you don't really have time to think are probably easier.

Re: Foster
Really pleased for the lad and especially given that he thwacked it in with the verve of Roy Race. Much better to get your first goal with a flourish.
Hopefully the first of many.

Re: Foster
I was absolutely delighted when that wonderful finish hit the back of the net. There was some real skill in that.
Now there’s been some fair evaluation of his performance so far in which he has been poor but the need to give him way more time was recognised by most. Some experts in their own bathroom mirror decided theyd seen enough after 20 mins to write him off completely.
Let’s hope yesterday will give him the confidence to really kick on now. There’s a player in there.

Re: Foster
He looked sharp yesterday. Couple of good runs, some nice hold up play and took the goal brilliantly.
What I noticed straight away was that he looked a different player as soon as he scored. His touch was more confident, he was pulling wide more too.
There’s a player there for sure. In games where he can turn and run at teams I expect to see even more from him.

I'm glad the new proposed scapegoat as shut up the so called fans for a few weeks. I wonder who is next on the list. Btw he looked very good yesterday for those who didn't go on.

You could feel his relief emanate around the ground when he fell to his knees and raised his arms to the heavens.
Now come on Lyle show us all what VK saw in you

Re: Foster
Yesterday's game and the timing of his introduction was the perfect way for a new striker to present himself to the fans.
He took his chance superbly to compliment a good team performance.
Prior to this game I think his introduction has been at the wrong time into an unbalanced team.
He has now given us a glimpse of what VK has obviously seen.

Re: Foster
We’re a totally different prospect with him in the team, he looks like our most clinical finisher so we need to keep him fit. Unbelievable transformation from what we saw last season.

Re: Foster
I don’t think it is unbelievable.
I thought the signs were there and he just needed time.
Sadly, this board isn’t known for allowing players that time.

Re: Foster
I was critical of some of his early performances, but I’ve grow grown to absolutely love him. Everything we need in a lone striker at this level: strength, pace, aggression, the ability to hold the ball up and - what we’ve been sadly lacking in the last two Premier League games - finishing. Kompany was bang on the money about Lyle and I’m sure he won’t be the last signing we say that about.
If he continues to play with confidence and a smile on his face, the sky’s the limit.

I just hope people are paying attention, Benson and Zaroury took a good while to settle, Foster has now settled and looks more than comfortable at this level - the future for us is very bright however long it takes, we have some seriously talented players.

Re: Foster
If he stops treating the football like a hand grenade.....maybe. His kicking is not good at all, even when he has time. Hope he proves me wrong.
Re: Foster
At this moment in time out of the three players mentioned, for some reason, it looks Like only Foster will be regarded has having a successful future at the club. The other two seem out of favour.Vegas Claret wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 3:13 amI just hope people are paying attention, Benson and Zaroury took a good while to settle, Foster has now settled and looks more than comfortable at this level - the future for us is very bright however long it takes, we have some seriously talented players.

Already dreading Foster leaving to go to AFCON in January, surely with the amount of African players in the league now there’s an argument to postpone the league whilst AFCON is on

Also not sure South Africa are up to much so hopefully (sorry Lyle) he’s not away for long…
But yeah agree with the sentiment.

If South Africa go all the way he will miss 4 games. But in all likeliness he will only miss two games

Re: Foster
According to Google the tournament games run from 13th January to 11th February, we have 4 league games during thst period.
Let's hope Obafemi is fit by then, who knows we may have made a move in the transfer window for a striker.

Re: Foster
Didn't know the dates of the tournament, the 2 home games in Luton & Fulham are huge misses the 2 aways in Man City & Liverpool less so.

Re: Foster
When you consider we've played some good sides, scored against Spurs, Villa and Luton. 3 goals from 6 games is a very respectable return for a player who should hopefully continue to improve and get more opportunities against the teams from the bottom half.
I wasn't convinced by him last season but he's doing incredibly well this season. Long may it continue.
