dewsburyowl58 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Why even mention some fans dont agree ? Just praise the fella , everyone’s got opinions and no one can say he didn’t start off slowly for us , He was much steadier tonight , feel there’s so much more to come from him , I always have , he needs a run in the side get his confidence up . His crosses were excellent . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Good to see the lad getting some praise. Seems he's taken the stick the right way and asserted himself more and has really improved over the last season and into this one too. He's learned hopefully if he does make an odd error to just keep going, where he used to make one then he'd loose all confidence in himself and make more and more mistakes,maybe Bruce brought a psychologist in??! I've said before give him the simple job of defending and on safe occasions supporting the wide man and he's a very capable player at this level. He'll never be a world beater as a rampaging, attacking fullback like a cafu, Carlos, or Stuart Pearce, but he's a solid defender and Good in the air too.

owls maniac Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Great performance. Hope the north stand boo boys will finally get behind him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castleford Owl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Starting to prove people wrong. He’s clearly a confidence player and if he carries on in the same vein as tonight, he’ll keep the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never put in a disastrous performance. Sadly some fans always need a scapegoat. It’s bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Struggle to find anyone who hasn’t criticised him, he’s probably criticised himself aswell ...but he’s more than capable of playing at this level Not outstanding, but nowhere near as bad as some make out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William 1867 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Thought I would never say it but Fox has really come on over the last few games. Well done to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Brilliant last night, may it continue. Leeds will be a real test for our defence but bring it on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 He'sa regular part of a defence that don't concede many goals, how bad can he be? He's been largely steady since the beginning of the year. Never going to be a world beater, but he is reliable. Good to see him getting some credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And very capable giants too. Why on earth would you want to move Iorfa to RB when he's shown he's gash there and he's playing extremely well at CB? Palmer has had 2 bad games in a row, but past season or so he's been consistently good so isn't worth dropping him yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Monk sticks with it nobody will be surprised. I also agree with you that Palmer has been rock-solid for months. But where I disagree with you is Iorfa’s ability as a RB. He was highly effective, if a little awkward. Think back to how poor he was at CB v QPR. If Monk can improve his RB play in the same way he has improved him as a CB he could be outstanding.

Guest Ferkorf Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I do wish he would take the extra touch on the ball instead of instantly whipping them in especially when he has the time to. Other than that cant fault him last night and deserves the praise he has earned lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Duran Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Doing a Lewis Buxton - changing peoples opinion of him by hard work and consistency. We all know he's not a world beater and will make the occasionally error, but he is another who is looking fitter and stronger and is improving.. along with Palmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that he was always on fox's case killing his confidence, since he got the armband he's been more supportive. I seriously doubt a lad of fox size would be scared of bannan !

jacko1992 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Lets not get too excited, he was bob average. Palmer at LB for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 To us, he's invaluable when playing against a physical, direct side especially. We've nobody as an alternative (Iorfa aside) to play that sort of role at full back. There's very few full backs (who aren't converted centre halves) who are so good aerially. He's not the most glamorous player, but with the way Monk has us organised, Fox's fairly no nonsense approach to defending could see him become a mainstay in the side.
