Guest LittleG Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Don't agree with his treatment by some supporters but unfortunately at the end of the day he is a bang average full back. No amount of support from the fans is going to improve his skill, positioning, awareness etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox isn't a bad player but what makes you think Penney isn't qualified for the job, no offense intended, legitimate question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Fox bring, that Penney doesn't? The left side did better, in my opinion, with Penney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked anything but defensive to me, he was always attacking, always looking to move forward. may have escaped you but the thread is about fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I know, but it's the Left Side in general. I like Fox, but not sure if he's going to be available come August 2019, or what his plans are. 3 minutes ago, WelshOwl74 said: may have escaped you but the thread is about fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_1 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I still can't believe some people booed when his name got announced at Preston at home. Awful behaviour. Didn't let it get to him, got stuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It looks like the Booing has actually improved his game, so lets boo all of them now and they may well become championship standard after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Shows how badly the Chansiri era has gone off course when fans are pining for ‘the next Lewis Buxton’ 5 hours ago, Morepork said: Some of the treatment he's received from fans, especially on social media is horrendous. Nobody can condone that. He has shown some improvement this season though and I welcome that. Ultimately, it all boils down to this.....his ability is nowhere near the level of our fans expectation, a situation that's exasperated by the fact that we've needed improvement in that position for 4 years......unfortunately he bears the brunt of that frustration. At this level, he's a squad player if he were the third choice he'd get no grief. Good post. Yeah, he’s not good enough but it’s not Fox’s fault that the club signed him. Fox is actually the least of our problems. The likes of Fox are always available to start games, he won’t be on big wages, he rarely gets injured or sent off. Just like Nuhiu, Pelepessy, Palmer etc - the issue is that these players aren’t further down the pecking order in terms of squad selection. If Fox was our 3rd choice LB and we had two Championship-quality players ahead of him, most fans would be fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls66 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 He's HEAD and shoulders above everyone else. Seriously look size of that f*cking head of his. Collosal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfast owl lad Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Any player who pulls on the shirt and gives his all shouldn't get booed,there have been many scapegoats over the years,he's just the latest. I would have booed Slothroyd tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Saturday he was poor - but pretty much everyone was. Before that game though he'd been much improved in the last 4 or 5 games. I hope we strengthen in the full back positions because I think we really need to, but I don't really care who plays and so if Fox can raise his game to keep the competition for his place out, then that can only be a good thing.

waddleisgod Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Look I never boo the guy and always want him to do well, but..... He has far more poor games than good ones and I get really frustrated with the amount of silly mistakes and daft decision making imo he will be one of the first that Bruce will see as a weak link and need to replace asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did. He just took a while to get into the groove. It’s patently obvious that Fox will never possess the talent Buxton had. And that’s not a criticism, he’s just nowhere near as good - technically, positionally, intelligently. Hes got a better left foot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1Owl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Penney should be playing. Anyone can see he's a quality player, should be encouraged not demoralised, hope Bruce sees that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can see he's a quality player, should be encouraged not demoralised, hope Bruce sees that I really hope Penney develops further as there does appear to be some talent there, but he really didn't do himself any favours with his last few appearances (even if played out of position). Maybe this is to be expected with a young player after a very promising start, but no way should he be ahead of Fox as things stand - he has a lot to prove.

WalthamOwl Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 One of the first things Bruce needs to do imo is bring in a couple of players to replace Fox and Palmer. Full of effort but nowhere near enough quality if we want to challenge at the top end of the league in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
