Ever since his injury back in January our defence has been shocking with Walton and Walker looking like they had been hired from the local circus. We have only kept one clean sheet and conceded more goals in one sequence of games than any other time this season since Fozzy was ruled out for a couple of months. Foster has shown his class at this level but is learning as he showed against Oldham with two reckless challenges that might have cost us the game.
At 22 our defence is built round him. It's not just his defending he gets praise for but his goals prove vital. He's the most threatening player from set pieces and having scored 6 last season and 2 this season it all proves how much we need him.
Dario said last night he wants to give Foster a game and it will mean Walton or Walker will drop down to the bench.
