This ^ Fox was absolutely fine. 7/10 no probs last night. i thought all did well bar the substitutes, whom were regrettable. Murphy was awful and Nuhiu didn't keep the ball well enough to vindicate that change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your criteria to differentiate a 6 from a 7? For me, every player enters the pitch on 6/10. If they do something good, they're up to 7, something negative, down to five. Clearly, it can't be that black and white, but despite looking a bit indecisive Dawson did more good than bad. Definite 7/10 for me. And that is how I differentiate between our two immense centre halves. Both get 8/10, except that Borner's goal pushes him to a MotM 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a bag of nerves on any aerial balls into the box His communication was lacking all game leading to several occasion where we conceded possession when it could have been easily retained His positioning for the goal was abysmal His kicking was poor all game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been an 8 but for a couple of crosses where he got nowhere near the ball and some dodgy kicking Palmer: 5 - baffling how he looks out of position at RB and at home at LB. Wasted a great overlap, kept pulling at players off the ball and could have given away a pen Fox: 8 - for me, one of his best games for us - won plenty of headers, defended stoutly, made a great saving tackle and put in a cross that Reach should have made more of Borner: 8 - Deft touch for the goal and plenty of timely interceptions in face of second half barrage. MoM Iorfa: 8 - Went into beast mode a couple of times to rescue and clear the ball, how a foul was given against him when he rounded the attacker and cleared it I'll never know Hutchinson: 8 - Another who relished the battle and also made a couple of well-timed bursts forward Bannan: 7 - tidy enough on the ball, but maybe faded a little? Luongo: 6 - same as Bannan, had a couple of opportunity to exploit the gaps in the second half and wasted them. Unlucky to concede the free-kick near the end Reach: 6 - Put in a shift and moved the ball on well at times, but same as the rest of the midfield, when we needed someone to exploit the space in the second half seemed to go missing Harris: 7 - Constant outlet, our main attacking threat, Fletcher: 7 - Always a handful, links play - but weak at shooting. Same old. Subs: Nuhiu: 6 - battled away as best he could Murphy: 5 - lightweight on the ball. I don't think he's as awful as others make out, but not a great one for a wet Friday night at Cardiff In all a game of two halves, first half we dominated one of the better teams in the division creating plenty of chances. But second half we couldn't retain possession, and were relying on a few battlers at the back to bale us out again and again. This is partly the refs fault - must have been about 6 or 7 dubious 50/50 calls, or even 30/70 calls that went their way. Even without the offside goal I'm not sure we would have held out for the extra 7 minutes or so. let's face it, dawson isn't going to make a keeper at this level, his handling of crosses is atrocious, time for him to move on, time for new to be brought in, and with westwood's form on the slide, it's a new first team keeper were looking at.

He's clearly not at his best but lets be honest, last season he was excellent. He's just a little out of form, it happens, I'm confident that once he's back to his best and settled in to the way Monk sets us up he'll fly again!!! Our of form is a few games. He’s been shiiit all season and can’t even run with the bloody ball. Somethings gotta give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 People do these ratings...and yet so often they aren't rating the player on their actual performance, but what they think of said player. Morgan Fox was decent last night. But people don't like him, so he gets a 4 out of 10 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's all about peoples perceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 When I saw him up against Mendez Laing, I was pretty worried. After all, I'd seen Laing absolutely murder Trent Alexander Arnold last season. The guy is an absolute unit with a bit of pace too. In my view, Morgan Fox has been pretty solid now for several months. Yes, we need better, but at least he's a natural left back and he has a decent cross on him tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I thought the way Monk asks our defenders to play was evident with Fox last night. Monk likes defenders to be aggressive and I thought Fox was a lot more aggressive last night in the way he stood up to the winger and bullied him a few times to win headers. Only struggled towards the end when he tired and they brought the tricky winger on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
