Not a massive problem against Luton but against a top team that would be very costly. Pleased that he is winning people over, but I still don't think he is even close to a top end Championship left back. No he didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will ever convince me he is a top end Championship player , Neg away Agreed to be honest. First he made two good tackles, that’s great. But he needs to do more and be more positive going forward. Like a rabbit in headlights at times in that first half. Better second half. Hopefully it’s just a bit of rustiness. Would still like us to bring in a class left back in jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying V Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Defended very very well, but his passing let's him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheowls Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Wtf am i reading here. Hes not had a ‘great game’ because of 2 or 3 slide tackles. If he wasn’t out of position in the 1st place he wouldn’t have to make them. Poor on the ball, touch is horrific, No ambition in his play and can’t pass. Apart from that, yeh brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say again I disagreed with the post so I used the disagree button. Do you have a problem with me using this button? No, not at all but I don't know how you can disagree that he played well. Feel free to do so. Even flat earthers have a right to their beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthRustyOwl Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 6 minutes ago, 2roland2 said: Twice he gave it away, bannan 4 times. I fact everybody was giving the ball away but defensively he didn’t put a foot wrong and his passing never put us in danger, bannan and hutch nearly did. But eyyy it’s fox, so blast him. Not sure I agree with that, he gave it away three times in the space of about five minutes. Granted one of those was an easy volleyed clearance that he made a total mess of, but my view that he was the main culprit for giving the ball away (and I should add I haven't ever been one of his biggest critics so it isn't bias). I had Bannan as next on the list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 There is a reason Bruce and then Bullen preferred a right footed player playing Left back . He was not the worst fullback on the pitch though that honour goes to Odabjjo , but I suppose I am wrong about him as well . Hurry back Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still gets loads of grief when named in the line up. Faces up to the criticism, and just gets on with it. He's tall, has a decent whipped cross on him. I get that he's not a flying full back, but I think he'll go on to have a very decent season, and plenty will have to hold their hands up for their criticism of him. 2 brilliant challenges tonight, 1 early on and the 2nd late on when, if Luton had equalised, the whole atmosphere would have changed. Passing, positional sense, all spot on. I think he gets grief in almost a sheep mentality. Fair play to him, joint MOM for me with Borner and Harris. He must have some strength of character to crack on, despite all the criticism. First topic start on here, prepared for it... Spot on Fox looks totally different from the player beginning of last season. We didn't miss palmer at all. It is so important that we have good cover in all positions. Palmer will have to wait for his place back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I think. Not sure what football forums are for then? Anyway, have a good evening, my teas ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) He’s nowhere near as bad as some on here make him out to be. I thought he was excellent tonight he didn’t put a foot wrong. Edited August 20, 2019 by TrickyTrev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 His passing was fine. He was often without option, so kept the ball and when that was too risky he put it down the line. In terms of ball retention, there were far worse culprits tonight...and culprits who are supposedly good on the ball...Hutch, Murphy, Odubajo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact i surprised that i am reading mainly negative comments on lots of issues. I love seeing us top of table. 9 points from 12 and they can play how they want for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
