Would you sign for a Championship club when they have the prospect of a points deduction hanging over them that could see them relegated? you would if you were offered decent terms relative to your ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he is one of our bigger earners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players always seem to be linked with decent clubs once they are coming to an end of a contract - I may just be too cynical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 He has improved and worth his place at the moment and commercially it’s the right thing to do but he is hardly irreplaceable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Concrete Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 To be fair he'll be solid for us in League 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't buck up we will be lucky to have a player of Fox's calibre. Players like fox are ten a penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our problems with the EFL would be solved in an instant. It wouldn't matter if they embargoed us anyway, we could have a whole new team and still have change from a quid.

Kopparberg Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 His passing seems underrated. Good use of the ball usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t think he’s a first team player in a side that wins promotion. Still a position that needs strengthening regardless of him signing a deal. None of our players are good enough to go up, proved that over the last 4 seasons. But there are players there at the right age to build a squad that may be good enough, given time.

WalthamOwl Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 If he signs fair enough. If he leaves won’t lose any sleep. Can’t imagine he is on massive wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I think we should be aiming to improve all areas. Morgan Fox is 27 this year. Hardly a young lad and I doubt you’ll see much else than we haven’t already seen over the last 3 years. Should be nothing more than a squad player and keeping players just out of fear you may not find better is not the right way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Lets be honest there’s not many exceptional full backs in the league. Hopefully Penney can give him some competition next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Clegg Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 His form this season shows he is actually a better full back that the much respected Pudil. A good footballer not without skill who was given an absolutely torrid time in the two semi-final games against Brighton. .... and in several other games against better Championship teams when the opponents saw to play balls into the huge spaces he often vacated when pressing forward. Fox is good enough to be in a team which achieves promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Has more mettle than a lot of the squad, that's proven given how he's come back from his poor form. That said if he did leave I wouldn't be too fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
