From what I've seen of Fox so far I'd definitely have to say no. He must have one of the lowest passes completed % of anyone in our team, and his crossing has been poor on the whole (though he has hit a couple of decent ones). However, defensively he's made a few decent tackles/interceptions, so if we're going to play him anywhere it should be left back.
absolutely not, although having never seen Lennon play I'd give him a try at LB
Thought he did ok at LB when he came into the side last season as sub at Huddersfield in the cup to then secure a place in that 0-3 fateful game at Donny and then sub at Wigan1-2 when the clown threw two in his own net. More of a CB but also saw him play LB v Cardiff for U21s at the Valley couple of months ago and was a little off the pace against a reasonable winger especially towards the end of the game. Worth another try but Fox to LM no way Jose.
Bloody hell. Someone will be suggesting Solly plays in centre mid next.............
This isn't as ridiculous as you think, especially considering how stretched we were at the time in all positions other than right back.
Solly has played centre mid through most youth levels and was played there at points in pre season under Powell.
I for one think it's ridiculous
Its not that super Solly can't perform there, but you don't play your best player out of position.
Especially with the knees.
I'd rather see a worse player in there than Solly moved out of the one position we have a player who is the best in the league.
But then again we have a perfectly decent player called Cousins.
BP baffles me how he assembles a team. You have to think 5 signings ahead and get a decent mix and blend. All about partnerships all over the field. So far he has been a bit tinkerman for me.
Don't blame him for the signings but I want to see our 2 best youths playing CM and RB so they can play to their best.
(one for the old timers...I was at that game, and it still gives me nightmares)
That defied any logic whatsoever because he never fancied a tackle and was very right footed. Maybe the thought process was for him to jockey with his pace until there was sufficient cover?
