Owls2k Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Today was actually Fox's poorest performance in a while, but delighted he got that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marconi Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hope he cups his ears every week at the people who struggle to pay inflated prices to fund inflated wages. Can't see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Genuinely can't see what his wages have to do with anything. Sheffielders really have a chip on their shoulder about money don't they. His wages have absolutely no bearing in his desire to play to the best of his ability.

Owls2k Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Just perused the highlights and it was Fox's man for the equaliser, no wonder Monk was subdued in his post-match praise when invited to by the interviewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got his role tailor made for himself, and from what I've seen he is not playing full back role for us (in my opinion), he is a stop gap solution. He is not going on overleap to help winger up his side, nor he is one defeing against quick and agile wingers, and is often used as 3'rd cb.

I don't know what your watching then coz I think he's playing well and always as done …...very few skin him coz defensively he's sound which is what what you want from a full back …..

My point is that he is not playing full back role, but kind of a 3'rd CB just like Argentina used to do in early 2000's. It is never him to defend against opposite winger, or offering support up his side going on overleap. In my opinion, Monk created kind of a hybrid role for him and Fox is playing it well, and he got his MOTM award deservedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't tell whose man it was at the time in the ground but Fox lets his man run off him and he ends up bundling it in from close range. He also had the chance to clear for the first goal as well but waited too long for it to drop and Ayew pounced. Don't get me wrong, Westwood is largely culpable on both goals but Fox had the chance to bail his team mate out twice by doing the defensive side of his job properly, which is what he is in the side for. Shame really because he put a couple of great crosses in early on and was on hand for what should have been the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Soon as he cupped his ears I was laughing my head off, should he do it ? No not really , but the abuse he gets off the ‘fans’ is a disgrace in my opinion Nuhius done similar at times, don’t really know why some fans are so sensitive to it , we give it out we should be able to take a bit back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got player of the month, scored what he thought was the winner, giving it the ears to the boo boys and celebrated like a demon had been slain. Then they all go and royally wee wee on his chips. Well, I say feel for him... He'll have just got paid in a week what I almost make in a year so I'm sure he's not feeling too bad. But you know what I mean. He deserved to be the match winner today. You need a new job mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can improve to steady. Who knows he may improve even more. Nobody has said fox is the finished article. He cupped his ears for the morons who think its clever to slate him regardless of his performance. I don't normally like players making statements after scoring. Fox has a point though. He will have heard his name being booed before kicking a ball. Probably by the same people celebrating his goal today without a single thought of their hypocrisy. Why do some people think that they can have a positive influence on players but don't realise the negative impact that they can also make. Also Westwood was at fault for the goals today. Not fox. Westwood also made some terrific saves. Nobody blame Westwood for the result as his performance is judged on all his influences on the game. Foxes wages are totally irrelevant and shows how some people just want to slate him for anything even his pay. 3 possibly 4 managers have now picked him so its clear we don't have better options. Seriously though can you believe some people think its fine to verbally insult a person but then get upset when he puts his hands to his ears after scoring for their supposedly beloved team. Never mind its the players career and how he puts food on the table. Much worse players have worn the shirt for much less abuse. Fox's attitude has been faultless. The same cannot be said for ignoramus match attendees who seem to get some strange satisfaction from making us have to listen to booing and their ill thought out opinions and choice of expressions.

shezzas left peg Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The lads finally being asked to play the game as he is an oldschool fullback. Defend first support your wide man second. He'll never be a winger or wingback, but asked to play as a fullback in a back four the lads sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Annoying thing is his crosses are better than anybody else’s . If he had the pace he’d be lethal going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andysowls Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Would never boo him, steady player....few times though in good passing positions but elected to pass back towards Westy when chasing the game second half-frustrating!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for the lad the plonkers amongst our fan base are seeing him for what he is This confuses me. Here's Morgan Fox, a player who for a large part of his time with us has been nowhere near good enough, finally proving his doubters (plonkers) wrong with recent performances - judging by your comment. But you then go on to continue to slate a goalkeeper who has been incredible for the majority of his time with us. A keeper who has (admittedly) seen some faults recently but at the same time has by far won us more points than he's ever conceded. Its strange logic.
