FODERINGHAM<br />
Wes Foderingham<br />
believes the experience<br />
within the dressing room<br />
could prove to be crucial to<br />
<strong>United</strong>’s hopes of securing<br />
automatic promotion this<br />
season.<br />
Speaking honestly and openly<br />
ahead of welcoming promotion<br />
chasing <strong>Watford</strong> to Bramall Lane<br />
at the weekend, the 32-year-old<br />
stopper has called for calm and<br />
perspective despite a couple<br />
of untimely defeats this month<br />
which has seen the advantage<br />
between themselves and<br />
Middlesbrough reduced. Wes<br />
though didn’t shy away from<br />
accepting the importance of<br />
returning to winning ways this<br />
afternoon, whilst acknowledging<br />
Slaven Bilic’s Hornets will prove<br />
another tough nut to crack.<br />
A blank midweek in the<br />
schedule has been used<br />
wisely revealed the Blades<br />
number one, with boss Paul<br />
Heckingbottom using the extra<br />
time on the training ground to<br />
iron out minor issues that have<br />
hampered performances in<br />
defeats to Middlesbrough and<br />
Millwall, but Wes feels returning<br />
to S2 today, followed by<br />
Wednesday’s Emirates FA Cup<br />
tie against Tottenham Hotspur,<br />
will hopefully provide some<br />
welcome home comforts.<br />
Finally, and unsurprisingly,<br />
Wes is delighted to have<br />
proved his worth between<br />
the sticks in South Yorkshire,<br />
establishing himself as the club’s<br />
first-choice goalkeeper under<br />
Heckingbottom, but he's also<br />
keen to praise and welcome<br />
the support he receives from<br />
those closest to him, namely<br />
coach Matt Duke and Wales<br />
international Adam Davies.<br />
