Popular Post stevie snerklebox Posted February 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2019 Really chuffed that this lad is finding his feet and is now producing solid performances from left back. Sure he will be under pressure from the laddie from Newcastle for his place but it’s just great to see him silencing the idiots who’ve seemingly made him a scapegoat.

Mr. Tom Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Looks so much more confident after coming through the pelters and performing strongly under duress. Really pleased for him. His main weakness was always that he looked so nervy in the ball for me. With renewed confidence he honestly looks twice the player. Still a ways to go, but anyone who seriously says he’s not playing to Champ standard right now either isn’t being fair, or doesn’t watch any other teams IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 At present, Lazaar hasn't got a prayer of getting ahead of Fox in the team. He's going from strength to strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Morgan Fox has done so much better, but does this make him good enough? There are a lot of people shouting down those Fox haters right now, does that make those haters ultimately wrong? Fox to me is like a poor mans Palmer. Palmer I believe can make the step up you see, but I don't think Fox can. Please do not mistake better performances for ultimate ability to be a great performer at this level I suppose is what I am suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Twice been in the top 3 votes for potm in last 2 months. Shows the fans are recognising that he's improved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer is better going forward (he’s a midfielder really, let’s face it). But Fox can put a cross in. His positioning and passing are the weak spots and he’s getting better at the latter by the week. Better direction from Lees would help with the former, but even without that Fox has put some very good last-ditch blocks in last few games.

Whilst i agree with the majority of your post I disagree scapegoat comment!! He wasn’t a scapegoat he was simply shyte...nowhere near good enough. He’s improved drastically and to be fair the last 7/8 games he’s been fairly solid and consistent with it. He needs to continue to improve but he looks a different player to what he has throughout his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox has been far more solid lately, his passing has also improved a lot, every time he plays a ball inside it's finding Fletcher or Bannan in good positions, long term he's probably not the answer but credit where it's due he's done well. I wonder if he'd make a better centre back sometimes. Flids? seriously in 2019? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He's got the attributes to play at the back centrally... he's done well at left back lately.. but his tendency to drift inside is inate I'm afraid. I'd happily see him in the centre half group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He's showing exactly the kind of mental fortitude we need in order to really gain some consistency and progress. Lots would have folded when faced with a fraction of the abuse this lad has endured. A remarkable turnaround. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhubarb n Custard Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He deserved much of the criticsm he was getting. Hopefully those that were bashing him are big enough to acknowledge his marked improvement. Whether that's good enough to keep a place remains to be seen.

I’m harsh but I’m also fair with it...credit where it’s due but criticism when due. You can have one without the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll all have to stop playing silly buggers and get down to the training ground on time and get their fingers out. The beady eye is on the lot of them now.

SiJ Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Tbf to the lad, he's finally getting a consistent run of games in the side and is doing so within a reasonably settled back four/goalkeeper combination. It's got to help. Really don't think Jos helped Fox (along with a fair few others) with his bizarre rotation/selection "approach". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a discussion, people will talk about positives and negatives of the club, players, team performance and whatever else goes on down at Hillsborough. Thinking that some people prefer to be right and hope certain players fail or we lose is nothing more than fantasy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he plays for Wednesday in 2019. That’s not me putting us down, I just fail to see see how he’s not up to that job on current form.
