Guest domSWFC Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Who would have thought it 18 months ago? This guy has come on leaps and bounds and is possibly our most important player. With lack of options at left back, we really struggle without him. As soon as he's back we look so much more balanced as a side. Both full backs in their most comfortable positions, wingers play with more freedom knowing theyve got support behind. We create much more crossing opportunities, and many more chances. Glad to have you back Morgan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Been a revelation this year and we do look unbalanced when he’s out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yep. Fair play to him too. Shows he’s got a good character to take the criticism he’s had over the past few years and turn it around. Not many players have ever changed the opinions of fans like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greengrass Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He's doing really well after all the abuse he got. Just wish he would bomb on a bit more because his delivery is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Played well enough tonight and is clearly our best and only true left back. Hope Penney comes back fit and firing next season to keep him on his toes though. He’s Important to give us a balanced back four, but surely the key player is Fletcher, the game turned when he came on for 30 minutes (plus a bit) tonight.

Kopparberg Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Definitely helps the balance of the team. Very steady player. ... and the first person I look for when the team has scored a goal, he loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james o connor Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 One of only a handful of current players I rate. No coincidence having him and fletcher back has improved us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Yes he's done really well, only thing I would add is that I think its more about the balance of the team when we have a back 4 with everyone in their best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He’s been great this season. He’s done a full on Lewis Buxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key for me, gives us balance. A proper LB in position. He has the right attitude, solid defensively and willing to receive the ball. I think when he gets more match fitness back, he will be more frequent in venturing forward. Good 90 minutes for him last night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He's found a bit of composure on the ball and has started putting some pace and whip on his crosses which he's surprisingly good at. Interesting to see if he signs a new deal now he's got again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is up at the end of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torres Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He has come on from where he was, but i thought he was poor last night. I thought the other 3 had their best games for a while, just thought Fox looked a bit rusty - which is expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Fox is worth is place in the side bt think to call him or most important player is stretching it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Wasn’t his best performance last night, understandably looked a bit rusty...but just having him in the side means our balance is so much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyowl Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Who would have thought having settled full backs was as important as it is! I had this chat yesterday with a Forest fan, their manager did a classic Carlos trick where he rests the full backs midweek The ones that played were way off the pace and it affected their performance massively, they lose 0-1 at home to Charlton No Palmer and Fox are back it'll make a huge performance if you see our performance in 2nd half v Brum and last night, delighted for Fox, hope his new deal announced soon.

OhForAnotherShez Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 He just got on with his duties when the crowd were crucifying him. How things have changed, it's a pleasure to see him responding to the crowd's welcome for the second half in front of the North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
