Agree about Holloway teams and Redknap's teams and whilst some might not agree Newcastle too as don't rate Pardew.....

Any way our brown envelopes are not bid enough for Redknapp !!!!!!!!!!! Obviously for the Dog not for him as he can't send emails open bank accounts, read, write, or manage Tottenham evidently and allegedly !

One word 'rubbish' Almost anyone would be an improvement on Fox and it would not be difficult to find anyone to come and compete for a place at Saints. After all Most positions are covered and most by players who have been bought at some stage and all are better than Fox. So let's not hear this very false inaccurate rubbish any more. Why we haven't 'covered' Shaw with a reasonable back up is a mystery unless we feel that our youth will come through quickly. Anyway it is not 'backup' these days it's to share the role because you have to rotate and so it's not as though a new guy would be permanently on the bench.... Get a life, there are loads of players who would jump at the chance to replacing Fox...... Much better players than Fox too! My God Mark Dennis would do better even now!

Very accurate assumption - you did bore me senseless !

We have never played well with Fox in the team.... Why did GAzzaniga feel the need to pass to his defenders by chipping the ball at head height to them?

Laughable

A great idea for a thread and agree with your assessment completely... Pardew may find life difficult this season......

So where is your full back cover? All the other areas have a degree of cover?

Full back hardly get a mention in any rumours of who we are interested in and yet on paper this is where we are most short of credible alternatives. Why Fox is out on tour with the first team is totally beyond me. He must be related to someone at the club! So though we need strengthening in other areas, for me it's full back where we need to prioritise.

Just have to say that no one gave me more pleasure to watch than Ron Davies. That team were so entertaining but big Ron was just such a great player. Watching him from the Boys Chocolate Box will stay with me for ever..... Just Class.......

A very good player unlucky to be given the 'heave ho' . Always enjoyed watching him .

Yes but if we are successful this year the reserve left back will probably need to play 10 games or so. Also if Shaw gets injured God forbid we are in deep do do. We need a very decent reserve left back. Also Shaw may lose form and what then? Also Shaw needs competition or his desire may drop a little.

That is a rediculous assumption. He was nowhere near that level.... He was poor there too however we were not - as you would expect, punished quite so often for his obvious lack of talent in that league. Though we were punished several times even in that league ! Fox is a very long way short even as a back up. Consider also that we probably overused Shaw last season and we don't want to do that this year. These days in the premier league your 'backup' needs to be almost on a par with your first choice and playing quite a few games. Fox is definately not that player. If you cannot see that he doesnt notice what is going on around him in a game that's fine but I and many others do notice and worse still the opposition notice and flood down our left every time he is on the pitch because they ALL know how poor he is.......

Very well put indeed...

'Any excuse' how many would you like? Doesn't close down, can't mark, always out of position, can't see his team mates around him, never links up with the left side midfielder - never sees him! No particular pace, can't tackle - in summary almost totally useless in any league above a Sunday pub league.....

Just because he isn't a left back doesn't mean he isn't better than Fox as he most certainly is...... Better.....

This is the message of the week, month, year lol

Our weekest position cover wise is left back by a country mile...

Pathetic thread

Don't like it

Awful format too long between games and yes we were terrible...... !

Errrr on any local playing field ! Fox would not get in most pub teams!

Probably. Sunserker were a run truly appallingly so they were lucky to get 300m! The Chines clearly bought the brand because the company was a joke....

He has no 'point' at all. He is propped up Eastleigh Borough Council which is a disgrace. He should keep It shut - its none of his business....

Sorry but there is no comparison - Frank Saul though no superstar was not that bad a player.... Where as Forcast was a complete misfit....... While we are at it if we are having high expectations at this club Fox cannot play even once next year so he needs to be shipped out pronto too...
