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. The good thing is that we now have a manager who knows the business and the players know he knows the business. There is nowhere to hide, I think we'll see a lot of improvement in general and if yesterday is anything to go by Bruce looks like he intends to use positive tactics. It's time for the players to step up or risk being shipped out in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109Waddle Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Don’t know if this is the case, but seems like since Jos left both Fox and Plamer have been asked to concentrate on defending first and not playing the wing back getting forward. Consistent back 4 makes a big difference too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was blonde with blue eyes and a lifeforce and sense of humour I could only dream of...if she heard anyone misusing her illness as a term of abuse she would laugh at them. I'm not as good as her because it makes me angry and lowers me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Top three in the last 2 POTM results. I would say he’s ahead of Palmer in all round full back ability, my guess is the new fella will initially be more of a threat for Boyd as we look to get more solidity down that side to give our match winners a bit more freedom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 In games where he and Palmer just have to defend, away from home especially he'll be adequate enough. At home neither is good enough to attack teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think Fox is better than Palmer. He can certainly cross a ball better than Palmer and he's better in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He's improved since Jos departed, we've stopped faffing about with ball at back which has helped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, if we are to compete at the top end of the table, we need better. Balls of steel for picking up his form though, despite the abuse. Fair play to him.

Blatter Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Now and again you get a player who looks ordinary in his favoured position. Then by accident or a clever bit of management looks the business when given a different role or position Kieran Lee, switched from full back to midfield. Paul Warhurst, Centre Back to striker Mel Sterland central midfield to full/wingback, Gerry Young, striker to defensive midfield. Fox looks like a left sided central defender to me. Physically and mentally tough enough to hack it there. Any Owlstalkers think of any I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That people can't see beyond the fact they didn't/don't rate a player and can't praise him for having a good run of games? For example I'm not a big Fletcher fan but I can't deny he didn't deserve player of the month and is rightly first choice in that position.

Plonk Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Glad to see him doing welll. Been very critical of him. Justifiably so I think. But will give him all credit due if he can up his game to where we need to be. He’s not there yet and is now under pressure from the new signing. Up to him to keep improving and keep the shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mighty wednesday Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Both Palmer and Fox have improved over the last 6 or 7 games. Fox has had to endure unfair criticism in the form of booing. Much of the written criticism has been fair but they both deserve credit for upping their game. On current form they are both capable of being back up at Championship level but it is no insult to them to say we need better first choices to have the best chance of promotion. However, if they can both keep improving, and it has to be said that good coaching and playing in a settled side can facilitate this, they both have a chance of cementing their first team places in the short term at least.

heppers Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 10 hours ago, Not Jon Newsome said: Hope he does an Adam Reach and turns it full circle, problem is there will always be an element who will hate him doing well and will discredit at every opportunity, much like the flids who said Reach was garbage, they go all quiet when he's performing well and after 1 bad game all of a sudden remember their owlstalk password. 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. I sat pitch side at Elland Rd 3 or 4 years ago. Reach and Fox put in the worst first half display I have ever seen. Fox was subbed at half time. Reach really turned it around after CC left. It would be amazing if Fox could do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox hasnt been here that long. Not doubting what ya saw, but must have only been a couple of seasons ago.
