I thought Morgan was one of many players that played below par yesterday, and as many have previously alluded thought his long term future may be in central defence.
Is now the time to play him alongside Harry Lennon in central defence, where a lack of pace catches Morgan out frequently playing in the full back position..
Diarra could be out for a while , looking at him hobbling off the pitch yesterday, I'm not too sure that Sarr is ready for first team football, and could be destroyed if Benik Afobe plays for Wolves, so could we have Fox at centre half,, alongside Lennon, and Holmes Dennis at left back, if Bauer is out of the frame.
Crazy idea, or worth a punt?

They are both young and comparatively inexperienced and would exposed to a critical position without a steadying hand alongside.
Fox's confidence is crushed, Lennon's probably just a matter of time.
One or both could be destroyed for good in our current predicament.
So, no! ;-)
modern full backs need to be supple, fast and versatile, able to cross accurately, they need the talents of an old style winger as well as a defender .. full back nowadays is quite a difficult position alas Fox has none of these attributes, though he is quite quick .. what he does have (as above) are traits more associated with centre backs .. I can see him alongside Bauer .. doubt it will happen though .. Sarr and Lennon as well as Bauer are probably more in the manager's mind as central defenders right now
1. We have not had anyone on the left wing
2. When we do it is a converted 18 year old striker
He has been overrun and overloaded all season. Has he been any worse than Chris Solly?
True Charlton scapegoat.
I'll report back when we start hammering Harry Lennon or Ade Lookman.
If Fox is playing Championship football as a regular starter in a years time then I'll concede that he is not the next grant Basey that I see him as
Could be converted to CB but only alongside Diarra or Bauer. Could even be the making of him ala Peter Shaw in 70/80s who became so inept at Right Back he was booed (sometimes worse) constantly, only to switch to CB and become a hero.
Worth a try as I think his confidence at LB is beyond repair and also that THD is so superior in that position
Solly Sarr Lennon Fox THD
Jackson Cousins
Reza Makienok Lookman
523 turning into a 343 when we attack, probably the best way to play as we'd need more defenders on the pitch, the problem then is Konsa and Charles-Cook would be the cover on the bench, with Diarra and Bauer both out
