Spondon Owl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So so limited. No team pushing for play offs or, dare I dream, automatic promotion can afford to field these two. Yes Boyd has had a minor purple patch but they are simply too limited. Shame because without that dufus in charge at the start of the season and with a modicum of luck on the injury front Leeds aren't a million miles away from us.

Perhaps not a million miles but way way ahead of us today. To be fair to Bruce though, Aarons and Lazaar will surely replace Boyd and Fox when fully fit. Not sure where it leaves Palmer when Iorfa’s pace and strength can come back in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES6owl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 For me, Fox doesn’t complement Boyd atall. There where times today when hector was coming way over to do fox’s job. Fox is just not good enough for the division. If you’ve ever played a game of football you no one bad player on field can hamper the team. And for me that’s exactly what fox does. How can boyd get up there when he’s got that liability behind him. And I’m not a big Boyd fan but however today showed fox is just out of his depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the vastly differing opinions on Owlstalk, that’s what makes it so entertaining....as long as we respect each other’s views. For what it’s worth I thought that he was tragic today. I admire his commitment to the cause but I despair at his lack of ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bukta Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Disappointed that we did not go FF and Lazaar on the left today in a game we had to win. Fox has the physicality to be a championship player but is hampered by his decision making which is league 2 standard at best. Boyd has the decision making of a premier league player but is hampered by his speed which again is a few leagues below where he needs to be.

This is where Chansiri's genetic modification programme will start to pay dividends... I can't wait for the unveiling of our new left-sided destroyer Morgan Boyd.

ozzieowl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Fox has done ok recently...... BUT when he’s had the ball he’s done ok n not much too wrong. Which people then think he’s done ok. Pits without the ball u need to watch. Today he was nowhere near Hernandez on numerous occasions leaving us so exposed. For the goal he was with wrong man n finally moved towards Hernandez n ball went through his legs. Hector ended up going out to help him n then out of position. Boyd does odd thing good n runs about but not good enough for level we need to be at. Lazaar n Aarons down left would be sooooo much more effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Fair play to them both, they’re both triers, but that is an awful combo down the left. League one standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I hope both leave in the summer along with quite a few others. Let Bruce bring in some of his own players and really go for it next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Leeds clearly saw Fox as the weak link - every attack, including the goal, came down his side. I'd hoped Boyd would have been more help to him defensively (remember Carlos used to play Wallace in big games for his ability to help the full back behind him) but they both looked lost.

Prince Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Fox was poor and Boyd was awful but I also thought Forestieri was a waste of a shirt too. Seriously going to have a huge task on for Bruce in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
