Although both him and Fox have improved this season we must be one of weakest teams in the league at full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not exactly a great deal of competition for the best full back although I'm sure many might give that accolade to Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka58 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Great decision - fella has been utterly useless and cost us half a dozen goals minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppOwl Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 3 hours ago, A E Neuman NYowl said: There is no doubt that so far he has been poor. Will be a real blow to his confidence being rejected after less than 6 months in the job. No problem with us taking early action and informing him that if he can find a new club he can leave but it should have been kept between the player and the club. No offence to the lad but I'm not bothered about his confidence I'm more bothered that he's not out on the pitch gifting the opposition penalties.

Jon Newsome Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He'll end up at QPR with Warburton, had him at Brentford and we beat them to his signature in the summer. I'd be asking for some money for him though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets far too much abuse when does nothing wrong. In all his time at club he hasn’t done anything as bad as Odubajo has in short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Fox out of contract, Moses going, leaves us with Palmer! Seems like we've been crying out for focus on getting decent full backs for years. Now we'll have to try and do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it funny how everyone now believes he was at fault for the penalty at Derby, whilst after the game everyone was pretty vocal that it was a foul on Odubajo. More wonderful Owlstalk revisionism. Also amusing is that this ruthlessness towards a 26 year old seasoned Championship full back gets applauded where as the sale of a subpar 23 year old clogger - who was never going to make it here - was met with howls of derision Just shows the different standards fans hold perceived ‘academy products’ to. If Fox had been playing like Palmer has been he would have been chased out of town Edited January 9, 2020 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwinowl Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 No complaints from me on this one. Agree with an earlier post that Bruce cleared off and left him a little exposed but his calamitous defending just can’t continue. He’s cost us points already and would cost us more.

bigash_swfc Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Interesting one. Seems like we're taking a sensible approach. Try and shift those out who are capable but culpable to letting us down. Odubjao fits that perfectly and at 26, he'll have another chance at this level. Just like Jordan Rhodes, and possibly Sam Winnall. Fact other teams around us have snapped up various players already, tells us our financial position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
