Its not only us who have struggled to get decent full backs in in the last couple of years. There are very few out there. Now he is showing a decent level of performance we need to keep hold. Good point. Both Palmer and Fox have developed into solid Championship full-backs, which might just be enough for us right now. Are there many standout fullbacks in this division this season?

Best rated are Dalsgaard at Brentford and Bell at Blackburn. Thing Dalsgaard had a really good first half against us but was poor in the second against Harris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a different source. Not many I would ditch ours for having seen quite a few against us tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Darnell Fisher -he of the fish thrashing about on the gravel at the side of the pond impression- is amongst the divisions best backs there's something wrong with the world.

Jim Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Classic case of player in the last year of his contract. As has already been said we’ve been stung by this several times in the past. Edited December 16, 2019 by Great Big Galaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Always thought he played reasonably well as a left back, however when's he played more of a wing back he did look truly awful,. Offer a contract in January he will be fine if we don't go up and a value on him if we do and decide to let him leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 What we have learned about Monk is that he is a pragmatic, do the basics right, type of manager. Obviously not seen Penney for a while but not sure he is a good enough defender for Monk Clubs will be looking at players coming to the end of their contracts looking for bargains, hopefully we are doing the same. Think we will probably offer Fox a new deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox has worked hard and improved but we have to start turning over players better. If West Brom want him they can have him at a profit. Penney isn’t fit to lick Fox’s boots from a purely defensive aspect. No coincidence, he’s been an ever present this season. Bang solid performances.

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Now that we appear to have a decent scouting network, I’d now trust us to find a more than capable replacement for buttons. I’d cash in if a bidding war ensues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack the Hat Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Remember the semedo masks. Can’t we get a fox mask and stick it onto odebajo and flog him instead? He’s a full back - the cheque will have cleared before they realise! Edited December 16, 2019 by Jack the Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Clearly a non-story / agent fishing. If it was true his departure would leave us with Palmer, Moses, Iorfa, Penney, Baker to cover at full-back. Bearing in mind no one has a had a good word to say about Fox until the last couple of months the logical thing would be to sell and recover some of our investment. Consider also that after all the stick, abuse and booing he’s had to endure he may well not want to re-sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatricowl Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 At last the small proportion of the fan base who have given him stick have got off his back. Someday they might realise that it is encouragement players want not abuse, even when they are struggling with their form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch McLovin Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 1 hour ago, A12owl said: Where, who and for how much are we going to get somebody to replace him. Full backs as every position don't grow on trees. We arent going to get much better based on his current form. A replacement will cost much more than we will get for him unless Monk unearths another Iorfa. Realistically it's unlikely we will be splashing much cash in January. Monk will have to work with what he's inherited in the hope we scrape a top 6 and win a playoff and get out of the grips of EFL. This year will be about consolidation and go next season if the EFL get their claws into us. Everything is dependent on the EFL decision. Sickening, as I believe we have a real chance of top 6 even with current squad. Hopefully Monk and DC will have a plan A and plan B to cope with any eventuality. Meanwhile, onwards and upwards. As I stated in my post ON LOAN and bring back Penney. If we can seriously make a profit on Fox then we should be taking the money. Whilst I agree with much of what your saying we have to start doing better business. Getting money for people in Jan who are out of contract in the summer is a must if we can.

But again, get someone in on loan and getting money (profit aswell) on Fox is a no brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
