Wow, so much unnecessary negativity on this board tonight.
Ok you downers , what did you think of Foster’s goal?

The way he worked his defender , turned and hit it straight into the bulging net. Did you like it ?

Different player from last season, I've been really really impressed.

Can't say that nowadays pal.

Superb goal in a really good performance.

Pretty coolheaded for a young lad to score his first PL goal and just crack on with it cos we were behind, too.

Great goal

I can say what I like Newty

Suddenly looks stronger and a genuine handful.

Really hope he makes it at the top level. He seems like a really genuine fella.

Completely different player this season. Looks so much stronger. Exciting to see how he develops and so glad he got off the mark. He’s going to need a big season if we’re to have a successful year.

Great goal. i'm really pleased for him.

I want stayingdown4eva’s opinion

Superb powerful play and great finish.

He’s only part of the equation but yes a goal scoring Foster would be massive .

There was a guy two rows in front of me who stood up and called Foster a w4nker… roughly 10 minutes after he had just scored.

Why would you want a Blackburn fans oplnion?

He was brilliant today, as he was against City.

All of a sudden he looks like a big, strong, fast unit. Exactly what PL players look like.

So pleased he grabbed a goal today and I hope he goes on to have a great season.

Some of the comments on him last season were laughable at the time, but he's really sticking it down their throat now. Good on him.

I remember watching a striker playing for Notts Forest at the start of last season who didn’t look like he could score to save his life . He’s now I think broken their record for most top flight goals in succession , maybe 7/8.
The connection ?
Never write a striker off !

Heard someone call Foster sh!te today and that JayRod should be starting.

We can all have different opinions, but anyone who has watched the last 2 games and thinks Foster is sh!te does not have a clue.

Fosters goal felt like it was the only time we crossed the ball into the box from open play all game and Villa struggled to defend it, Villa did so well to stop our wide players

Foster was excellent today just has he was against City.

Digne and Cash are something else aren’t they !

Just tuned in on my mobile in time to see the replay

He looked strong. Very strong. Clinical and clearly wanted it. Was a fine goal.

When McGinn first got into the Villa side he was very hit and miss, now he is the lynchpin.

We can learn so much from this Villa side and while today we are a long way behind I don’t think it’s too far a stretch to say it’s not impossible

Well taken goal, made space for himself and a cracking hit

Hopefully the first of many

Only a blind man couldn't see the attributes that foster showed towards the end of last season.

that's because they don't have patience

As soon as he he stuck himself up against there centre half I could see it happening the swivel and finish no doubt a premier league class goal. Strong as a ox that lad.

Is it me or has he shed some weight in the close season? He looks good and needs a striker of the same calibre up there with him.

Same bloke?

If foster had had the chances Jay rod got today he’d already be the PL top scorer.

The chances missed today by Burnley’s own were shocking.

Foster is already 3x the player Jay rod is.

Pleased for Foster time will tell whether he will score the necessary goals...but £7.5m for a striker is very cheap...from what I have seen the effort is there ... I think he needs a proven goalscorer up top ...

I have said before we will struggle to score goals but that is no dig at Foster

Think we will struggle to keep goals out ...to stay up we have to get most our points against the teams at the bottom

I have always thought touch and go ...I think Luton and Sheff United will surprise teams at home and there will not be much of a gap like last year between us and them ...

No panic as yet but not going to be a good watch much of the time this yearc

Thought Foster was outstanding today after a very good game vs City.

First name on the team sheet for me at the moment.

If he wouldn’t have gotten a head injury away against Bristol City he would have bagged then.

He was terrorising their centre halves up until that injury.

Well deserved 2 x MOM he bullied Villa today, like a quick Ashley Barnes.

He's looking really good, a real cause for optimism. Leaner but also stronger and faster, and took his goal really well. Best player on the pitch again (for us).

I said it before foster signed, but he’s got all the raw potential to be a real top player. He’s fast, strong, good with the ball, if he can add consistent goals to his game we are talking about a 50m pound player.

I’m glad he’s starting to show that potential

The guy is pony.

Let's all make sure not to feed the Blackburn Troll.

Foster was absolutely brilliant today.

Clearly worked very hard preseason and looks hungry.

Deserved a goal today, long may it continue.

I thought you were wrong about his pace but he’s looked much faster this year.

Foster has looked better this season, hope it continues. Pleased for him because the first is often the hardest to get. Take some pressure off him.

I don’t mind admitting I was struggling to see those attributes from my galloping horse! He’s clearly bulked up over summer. He was regularly getting shoved off the ball last season but now he’s holding his own, shielding the ball and getting stuck in!

Much improved player from last season. The only player who had the physicality and ability to keep hold of the ball. He was our only real threat.

He had a good game but needs to watch out being drawn back covering. He made some helpful defensive interventions but positionally needs to be there when we break. I thought he was excellent otherwise
