Quist Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 1 hour ago, Walt said: Yeah, wondered if their left back was usually a right back what with him being right footed and wearing the no.2 shirt. I was impressed with him, how much did Forest bid? I am not certain of exact figure but article read said around seven figures. I actually forgot about numbers but the 2 on his back should have given it away. he did ok but you could see he would be very useful if played on right.

northeastowl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 This love in with Fox recently is laughable. He his absolutely clueless. People keep going on about how he is our best attacking outlet but that’s because teams leave him in acres of space because of how bad he is on the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The first touch of a few of our players is consistently rubbish in comparison to even league one players. Pointless singling individuals out when we need to upgrade around the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Fox, he did well since Jos left. But it shouldn't go un-noticed what a great job Matias and Hutch did supporting him, and helping defend down our left flank.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 "Dad" "Yeah" "Why can't we get a wide player who can cross the ball like Accrington Stanley ?" "Be Quiet son and eat your SWFC chocolate coins !" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his many times they had the ball and couldn’t attack the space down the line. It seems they prefer to cross from half way inside the opposition half instead of getting to the by line Noticed that but maybe they have been told they need to defend as a priority and not hare forward then get caught out of position and as a result (if that is the case) Fox has looked a much more solid player, but still shows for the ball going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Dupowls Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Sorry but they both need replacing. So many faults come from these areas. I could expand but red wine prevents me. Priority please mr Bruce with a new CM. .....oh, and a red hot forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 We've needed new full backs for 4 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 By far the best full back we have is Matt Panney, shame we messed him up playing him out of position so often, ruining his confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Problem with Palmers crossing is that he floats it in every time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him whip it Towards the end of the game where he had acres in front of him and was travelling with the ball at pace, he decides to show down and float it in, I mean what on earth ?

terrycurran Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Winnall made a great front post run, Palmer crosses the ball two yards behind him straight to the defender. Was a match winning opportunity lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gi’oer. They both had decent games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Definatley both need upgrading next season. But to be honest there’s not many decent full backs around these days. Which is why I could never understand the stick Hunt got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that Luton’s left back for Luton (Justin James) was outstanding, strong in defence and great going forward and only 20.....get him signed up! We signed Fox 2 years ago today from Charlton reserves, Charlton fans could not believe their luck and our stupidity. For 23 months he has been a liability, for the last month he has been average. If we play him every week until the 2023 season he may just be good enough for the championship. FFS let's get the full back positions sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly average he has been one of the better players and the reason why he came 2nd in the player of the month vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geörge Whitebread Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I've said it before and I'll say it again... Pelupessi would be our best option at right back right now. If we could get Penny in at left back too. We'd be OK. Even better if Hutchinson could replace Lees alongside Hector. A full back line that can both defend and play football. I might as well finish my team (when all fit) while I'm here... Bannan & Lee in CM Reach & Forestieri on the wings Hooper & Fletcher up top We'd win every game however many we want, nil.

No I'm not a fan I honestly think he is getting the sympathy vote because some horrible nasty people decided to boo him The stats prove he is hopeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank the lord you said that, it is laughable. Luton yesterday just aloud fox to have the ball because they know absolutely nothing will come of it. All this nonsense that he was showing well and providing an outlet....an outlet for a backwards, square pass or shocking cross Stifle bannan, reach and Matias....leave fox and Palmer to balls it up Opposition teams always attack down our left, its not coincidence ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
