Agree Mentioned this last season, Fox is very good crosser of the ball. He wraps his foot around the ball which gives it a bit of bend pace and a lower trajectory. My issue with Fox until Bruce's came in was his defensive positioning, often letting the wide player get ahead of him. Pleased to say this is not now an issue. It looks to me like Fox,s confidence is rightly growing and he could be worth trying on free kicks and corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our corners yesterday were awful and I don't rate Bannans that highly either. I know others think they are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbinTheDonkey Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Fox's improvement could possibly have a lot to do with whom is alongside as far as positioning goes. Borner and Hutch are both good communicators, is it a coincidence since Palmer reverted back to right back his form has dipped slightly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Westwood 8 MOM Palmer 5 Iorfa 7 Borner 6 Fox 7 Hutch 6 Joey 5 Lee 7 Reach 5 Fletcher 6 Harris 5 Fessi 6 Nuhiu 6 Murphy 6 We struggled up front because Harris and Reach were so quiet and because Joey wasted nearly all our corners. I was surprised how well Kieran Lee kept going to the end, showing many glimpses of his former talents. Westwood kept us in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAL Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Mycroft said: Harris seems to be slowly disappearing, like he's got bored. I don't think he has got bored or is hiding. I think the other way. Before, he was an unknown quantity. Now, managers have worked out that he is our only release ball, and our only major threat. They have stopped the supply to him most of the time now, and when he does get it there are usually two defenders with him. I still think he is trying his best, he is just being marshalled better by teams. I would like to see him just have a free role, go where he wants to shake it up a bit, instead of sticking to the wing all the time. That might leave Fox a bit vulnerable if we lose the ball, but if we are going to play with mostly defensive midfielders, it should get covered.

McRightSide Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 He definitely hasn’t got bored but it’s either: 1. one step over down the line and then stand it up to the far post 2. zero step overs and cut inside for a - usually wayward - shot to the far post Once you know that, it’s not that difficult to combat.

This, Harris is giving his all, if he was a 9./10 rating every match he'd be playing for a Premier League team. But he's not, which is why we've got him. He's having a good season, let's not expect too much from him. The last thing we want is another Adam Reach syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also true that Monk should take him to one side and tell him that he has more than one option once he gets inside. He can't guarantee that Julian Borner will be stood there waiting to flick his wild shots back on target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Westwood by a mile. Borner and Iorfa at fault for the goals but nobody says anything because they are ‘fan favorites’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
