Alby :) 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Would appear that David Fox is not being excluded purely for football reasons.Heard it from a very reliable source that he''s been one of the most vocal about our current regime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,097 Posted September 23, 2013 And who would blame him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 23, 2013 I just don''t get what he''s still doing here then and also don''t get the contract he was given before being margianlised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alby :) 0 Posted September 23, 2013 I know Foxy''s not everyone''s cup of tea, personally I''m a big fan. There''s a few games last season where I think he could have made a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can u sit down please 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Me too alby.The best passer in the squad. It amazes me how you go from 3rd in pots and then don''t get a aniff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alby :) 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Being brutally honest, Fer is a definite upgrade, just disappointed has was overlooked for majority of last season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted September 23, 2013 I am on the other side of the fence on this and really couldnt understand why he was given a new contract, sorry to upset anyone, but he is a good Championship standard player or squad player to make the numbers for a club at our level in The Premiership at best, and that''s the role he has now.

The Ghost of Percy Varco 0 Posted September 23, 2013 So according to you, Fox has been criticising Hughton and then is being left out because of it? Gosh, what a bizarre coincidence. Perhaps Fox could offer career advice to other pro''s on how to win friends and influence people.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alby :) 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Just like Grant Holt last season then.He got out as soon as he could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can u sit down please 0 Posted September 23, 2013 Fox did cut it in th prem. we, the fans acknowledged this by voting for him in pots. Thing is, I could imagine him getting a game for someone like swansea. Also, fer is better. But a completely different type of player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted September 23, 2013 or is he moaning because he isnt getting games?might be no other reason than that..would anyone here drop Fer for Fox I wonder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alby :) 0 Posted September 23, 2013 My issue isn''t about this season - it''s about last.Why was he given a new deal, at which time he was complimented by CH, and then not used?OK, he got a few Cup games - he was poor against Luton but that accusation could be leveled against every player that day.I''m sure Foxy could have offered something a little different to Tettey and Johnson, that is my point.

Yellow Shirt 17 Posted September 23, 2013 I would love to see how a midfield of Tettey and Fer behind Fox would work... I know he isn''t a number 10 and more obviously should play deeper but he could cover back for Fer''s bursts forward and could spread the play or thread the through ball. Not like he can''t put the odd curler in the top corner either.If I were manager I''d be trying that in training games at least. Maybe Hughton has looked at that option already and it doesn''t work?

Chip20 69 Posted September 23, 2013 That''s the thing. We all have the luxury of being purely hypothetical. We can wonder whether x combination of players would work better than y and yet the only evidence we have is past performances alongside a completely different set ofplayers. Hughton gets to witness these combinations in training and in his opinion Fox would not be as effective. How can we possibly know better than him? Of course we are entitled to our opinions and to express those opinions for discussion, but our are based on far less information than the manager''s.Have you seen the massive variation in selections and formations expressed on this forum? Hughton can''t please everybody. Whichever one he goes with it, if it doesn''t result in a performance it will always result in many people on here posting angry faced icons and wailing "you don''t know what you''re doing" as if their own solution would have been a sure fire success.
