This guy gets my vote. But I’ve been watching us since 1975. Peter Eustace might win that honour but Jos is certainly in contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Griptite Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just me who thinks there's something fishy about the way their squad is shoe horned together with a mixture of dodgy named players, a girl clearly masquerading as a boy and a sweet loan signing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even debating putting a thread up about how our left hand side seems to pepper the opposition with crosses, aided by Harris' ability to go inside or out and fashion half chances while Fox repeatedly puts in deliveries that leave defenders scrambling.

McRightSide Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Fox has a decent assist rate, and he’s usually not far away from the action at corners. Penney is nowhere near getting the shirt off him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I do find the people who dislike Fox a little weird. He is possibly one of the top 3 crosser of the ball in the team, certainly the best of the full backs. Also, could somebody explain to me why everyone adores Reda yet dislikes Fox? Apart from Reda's goal scoring record, what does or did he have over Fox? Certainly not ability, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one that sees it like this? Our left hand side is a thing of beauty at times with Bannan, Fox & Harris playing in triangles being almost unplayable. Pace, creativity and power. If our right hand side was anywhere near as potent we’d be in the top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from his goalscoring is a pretty big apart from though isn’t it his sheer presence and ferocity of tackles were also a mile better than Fox So apart from his defending and attacking.....not a lot!

Nothing wrong with Fox, all the crap he has had on here and has turned out to be a good player for us. Steady player, reads the game does his job well. Does seem like some of us just always have to have 1 player to criticise and just won't give them a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markg Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Cant understand anyone slagging fox's crossing ability. He hardly ever hits the first man. Very consistent with his crossing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
