looks like a groin strain could cause him to miss the Scotland games. Maybe Shaw is going to get his Saints chance quicker than envisaged. I saw him at Stevenage and he did ok but not yet ready for the Premiership.

Is Dickson still about or did we shift him out on loan or whatever?

He played today for under 21s. Fox was there to for the first half, watching. Maybe stayed behind for physio?

Cheers bros. I wonder if he's an option... it's been that long since I've seen the **** play I can't remember if he's any good!

 

I spose that tells it's own story tho!

How much longer before Jack Cork is back. He will give us several alternative options.

 

If his rehab has gone as expected, he should be back in contention after the international break.

 

We do miss an option like him on the bench for sure.

For those who are wishing for Shaw, be careful what you wish for. Based on the games I've seen him play in, he has a long way to go before he is at a dependable level to cope in the Prem. In fact, I would go as far to say that Fox is a better option at this point in time and that's saying something.

Prefer him where he was - I prefer Fox to Richardson

 

The idea of playing Richardson (yes really Richardson!) in preference to Fox suggests that someone has detached totally from reality. I am all for off the wall opinions but really.

Agreed. Only major advantage from Fox is decent set piece delivery.

 

Trouble is for Fox now is Ramirez is a specialist set piece taker so I imagine Fox won't get much of a look in if both on the pitch.

Not sure that all the Fox haranguers are seeing the whole picture here - he adds a very sweet left foot to a lot of our movement going forward and to decide after three games (two of which he was up against as good wingers as he's likely to face in the PL) that he can't cut it is to have your 'see what you want to see' specs on.

 

He's a good player finding his feet in the PL...like a number of the squad. I hear the hysterical baying that we haven't got time for him to do that but every promoted team needs a little time to get all the players on the pace and, in my opinion, we should be 100% supportive of allowing that to happen - certainly a player like Danny Fox given what he adds and has even this season added deserves better.

The problem is, first and foremost his priority is to defend and this is where he is found wanting. He's competent at rampaging up the flank, as was Harding.

Wow, I suppose as Guly is likely to lose his place, Fox will become the target of the 'never happy' brigade on this forum.

This somewhat depresses me as unlike the last two seasons when we generally won, we need to unite this season behind whoever wears the shirt.

We need to win about 10 -11 games and draw 5-6 to survive.

As we are told -Together we stand.

Fox is a real weakness. What is the matter with Shaw??

 

Panics on the ball probably because he does not have the experience yet to turn a Manager's instructions into consistent deeds in a Prem game. I am sure he'll come good, but not now.

Yes. Except Fox is rubbish.

Fox technically is a decent player but his awareness is poor. He focusses on play and doesn't keep a check behind him. He needs to keep checking his blindside even if nothing is there. ball watching is a habit and he needs to be coached out of it. It cost us goals v both City and Utd as he lost sight of his mark. Harding had a similar problem. It makes an otherwise decent player into a liability. It won't take the Premier clubs with the constant TV exposure long to exploit this flaw on a regular basis.
