james o connor Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 52 minutes ago, poite said: 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. I don’t get why people take it personally . You aren’t Westwood and it’s not a personal attack . For me his performances are and haven’t been all year up to the standards required and I think he should be replaced . Would I boo him ? No , I’m not a moron. Would I support him when I’m at the game ? Yes . Do I think he deserves his place ? No he’s been dire . Again it’s about the past . I’m not interested what he has done I’m interested in what he is doing . David hirst was good shall we get him back (that being a bad example , he would probably still score more than our current strikers) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the monk Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 11 hours ago, malek said: It must be partly down to Monk who must have figured out how to use him best. Fox is not your typical full back, but Monk doesn't ask him to play as one helping him to concentrate on what he does well. It must have helped his confidence as can be seen from his performances last month and today. That sounds like hes a ten year old playing on a sunday Hes supposed to be a pro footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 11 hours ago, hugeowl said: He has improved but I will be very surprised if a left back is not on Monks list of priorities Of course it will be. Left full back is the only position in the squad without cover. If Fox is injured we have to play Palmer or Thorniley out of position. Fox has shown great attitude in the face of terrible treatment from some of our fans who love a scapegoat Competition for his place might well improve him further.

It should be in the top 2 of his list along with a pacey front man Despite this current love in, Fox has only been ok at the best in this current period. He’s decent as cover but we really do need improvement in that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mus Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Obviously this manager sees something in him and to be fair he has deserved his place on recent performances. Not the whipping boy any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Love it when players give a bit back to the fans. Those good old precious snowflakes who scream abuse all game but can’t take a little Playful gesture in return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Bruce gave him the best advice. He told him to rub himself down, buckle up for a rough ride proving himself, then come through it triumphant and mentally tough. Failing that, put in a transfer request for Newcastle.

Those good old precious snowflakes who scream abuse all game but can’t take a little Playful gesture in return Like Blades fans when Vardy gave it back after they abused him all game. Hilarious! What was ironic was their fans having a go at Wednesday fans for loving it when he'd never played for us yet the whole reason they were booing him was because he's a Wednesday fan. Like you say - many fans can give it out but feel violated when they get it back. Including ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 11 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: Good honest solid defender, prone to an error. So is Iorfa. So is Borner. So is Palmer. Etc etc. Glad to see him earning a bit of respect back. He's one of very few for us who I've NEVER seen nesh a tackle. Not once. it would be interesting to see the figures that show how many goals we conceded from dropping b*llocks in or just before the build up, in comparison to how many we score from which include the opposition dropping a b*llock in our favour.

Ash77 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Gave fox mom but changed my mind watching it back despite his goal. For their equaliser he lost his man who had an easy header (wwood didnt help), he lost his man for the brilliant wwood save leading to the equalising corner, and easily let a cross in where lees lost his man but ayew missed, thats 3 errors that could have led to more than 1 goal. Seems to be slow footed when crosses come in or when ran at and switches off too much, not just in this game either. Wont ever be a top champ lb imo, but has improved with the ball at least. Quick lb, quick striker and kieron lee replacement next summer would help us alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
