Ben Wilson on the Ben Fosters' Fozcast. Recorded on the morning after Cardiff.

Could be interesting...

Foster early on asking how he's managed to concede from three shots...

Okay, so they play shit and get 2 days off, how many days off for a win.

And also, how is having 2 days off going to improve the fitness of the players.

Mark Robins has said, "we're playing catch up" very odd.

Tried listening to it but three 30 second adverts in the first 10 minutes! Can’t be bothered with that

Would this not just be their 2 day "weekend"? With the gam being on a Monday they'll be in over the actual weekend and the Monday?

You could be right, but we will see.

That was a good listen, really enjoyed it. A very down to earth, grounded guy.

Really good watch. I've said it before, but worth repeating again. Despite thinking he has his limitations as a keeper, I'm proud to say he's ours. Seems such a genuine bloody good bloke.

And I'll never get tired of reliving that goal at Blackburn. One of sports greatest gifts is the belief it can give you, and that moment to me it's probably the most I believed all last season that we were on to something special

You can fast forward through them. Well worth a watch/listen.

Disecting the podcast…

1) why does Ben only wear £20 gloves with the money he is on? Why isn’t he wearing the best ones as per all the other goalies?
2) why didn’t he know PRIOR to the pen shootout about the rules around standing on your line? Surely you should know the rules going into such a big game like that, also coaches should have gone through every rule with them. Also, why only be studying pens the day before? This was the richest game in football!!
Granted, the pens were out of reach.
3) if Vaseline gives such an advantage, why not wear it on match day? I understand about not doing it in training so you get used to handling it without but match day, that’s serious! If every other goalkeeper says it’s a game changer why be so stubborn? If the ball is so slippy and a new ball is used every game why won’t you?

All up though, Ben seems a very likeable guy, he’s gone up in my estimations and glad he’s with us but yeah, the things listed above should be addressed, we should be capitalising on every single one percent advantage

He's old fashioned.

I'm not convinced the gloves really matter.
