I did not rate them going very far in truth but at times it was dubious if they were even going to get there.

Unfortunately Foster has WBA defenders in front of him, Hart has Man City's so it's hard to compare based on club performance alone. I just know I feel more confident with Foster in goal, he can distribute the ball better than Hart too.

Yeah twas me who said their style seemed same as the 1st team. I hate when they slow down, then stand around. Taking risks would be a great idea, but how do we get them to do that. -sigh For a young team they lack excitement.

Hart has him moments. He was dropped by City last season.

They're not going to take risks as a 3rd loss is just going to mean them getting hammered by the fans and press even more.

Speaking of being dropped, maybe he's emulated Canizares (aftershave) and Beasant (salad cream) as keepers who have caused themselves injuries by dropping bottles of stuff on their toe.
