KEEPER Wes Foderingham is firmly focused on adding another clean sheet to his ever impressive record tonight against Aldershot tonight.

Saturday’s shut-out against Plymouth was Town’s sixth straight clean sheet in League Two, which equalled the all-time Swindon record currently held by Peter Downsborough, who kept six in succession in the league at the start of the 1968/69 season.

If Town do not concede tonight at the EBB Stadium Foderingham will claim the record outright, having also equalled Fraser Digby’s record for consecutive clean sheets at the County Ground earlier in the season.

The former Crystal Palace keeper was close to equalling Downsborough’s record in November before conceding away at AFC Wimbledon, but is glad to have made it now.

“It is good to get recognition for what you do, but every time I have been close to getting a record I just don’t seem to be able to do it, but I am glad I have now,” he said.

“I didn’t even expect to be playing when I came here, because I thought I was coming in as cover.

“But I think I impressed in training a few days after I arrived and from there I managed to push into the team, so breaking records has been amazing.”

Foderingham was quick to acknowledge it was not only him who deserves praise for Town’s clean sheet record.

“The defensive options are fantastic, and Jay McEveley has come in at left back and he is getting better and better with every game,” he said.

“You can see that his experience at playing at a higher level is helping everyone, and for me, Joe Devera has been the best defender since he came into the side.

“With Paul Caddis back now the boss has a bit of a dilemma about who to pick, but I am sure whichever four play will do a good job.”

Reserve goalkeeper Phil Smith has often been a forgotten man due to Foderingham’s exploits since joining Swindon earlier in the season, but the young keeper insisted the former Crawley keeper plays a vital role at the club.

“It has been great having Phil around, especially in training. He has been great to me since he has come out of the side, even though he has had a few injuries.

“He came in for the JPT game against Wimbledon and basically put us through in the shoot out, he was a hero that night.”
