The Cult Of Foster.

5 goals and 2 assists in the league with 2 Man of the Match Performances over the past few days has helped keep Foster's scoring going whilst also putting Halifax to the top of the league, just.

3 goals in the 2 Champions League games, along with a Man of the Match Performance helped Halifax top their group and put them in a commanding 4-0 first leg lead in the knock out stage.

In the Cup Fosters amazing season continues, with him getting a further 5 goals in the last two games, along with 2 Man of the Match performances. The great thing about this is that 4 of these 5 goals have come in the first leg of the Quarter final, as Halifax won 7-2. Again, its against a better ranked opponent, but with a 5 goal lead confidence has to be high to get through to the Semi's now.

Foster has got 14 Man of the Match awards this season so far and with also being the recipient of a daily cone gift Foster has moved from 230 quality to 231 quality. 57 goals for him this season so far, which is a fantastic return. It takes his goal tally for Halifax to date up to 514.

Not including the current season, this is how Foster has done in the 7 complete seasons he has had with the club.



With plenty more seasons to go it is hoped Foster can keep going in the same way. It does look like assists have started to dry up now, but bar his second season Foster has consistently hit over 50 goals a season, which is a fantastic achievement.

A steady, but not spectacular day today for Foster. A goal in the league, as Halifax win 2-0, whilst he got another goal and an assist, along with picking up the MOM award, in the Champions League as Halifax won 2-0.

[kynan]

Another little milestone broken for Foster in yesterday's League game, as he hit 300 League goals.

Lets hope this continues in the next few seasons

Deep on the heals of getting 300 goals in the league, Foster has now hit 200 appearances in it too. 3 more goals in the past 3 league games, 2 assists and 2 MOM in that too.

The Cup looks to be over for the season - although getting to the Semi Final is a fantastic achievement considering how hard the draws are. A 3-0 loss in the first leg means that the second leg is pretty much pointless with the opposition way stronger. Foster's contribution in the first leg wasn't great.

4 goals, 1 assist and 1MOM in the Champions League games in the past few games. A 5-3 first leg lead in the semi has put Halifax in a good position to get into the final.

74 goals for the season to date now means that this is Foster's second best season to date goal scoring wise. 80 is the best return on a season, so with 5 league games and at least one more cup and CL game it will be interesting to see if Foster can match or beat the 80 record he has set.

The goals seem to have dried up in the run in to the end of the season for Foster. He sits on 78 for the season, so a hat trick in the last league game tomorrow will see him break his best record of 80, with two goals equalling it.

Foster has only scored once in the last 4 league games, although he has got a goal in each of the two CL games he has played - which helped Halifax to pick up the CL again.

A good return on the season even if he doesn't beat his personal best, but it was hoped the last few days would have been better.

[kynan]

The season is over now, with the league and the Champions League both won.

Foster got 2 in the last league game of the season, which means he ends the season on 80 goals, which equals his best ever tally.

[kynan]

With the season over Foster's all time stats look like this -

[kynan]

With a new season comes power training, so again Foster spent a few hours today power training himself right up to the top of 9 star again.

Due to an early kickoff in the Cup game he played the game before getting to the top of 9, but he was still able to score once as Halifax won 3-0.

His power training is now complete however, so he is ready for the season ahead.

[kynan]

Only the second leg of the Cup to play today and it ended in a 2-1 defeat. Thankfully, having won the first leg 3-0 its enough to see us through to the next round.

Foster never got into the game though and didn't contribute at all. Just the one goal this season from the first two games, a contrast to how well he started last season.

All attention now is on the league draw to see if it will be kind or nasty to us. Its usually very nasty so we aren't expecting much, but we wait to see regardless.
