Daniel Fox

Was one of my favourite players from that Championship year. He was quality at that level and I was relatively confident he’d be fine in the PL. All those saying they knew he was sh*t in the Championship are revisionists that clearly didn’t post on here when we went up. Don’t remember anyone calling for him to be replaced in the summer before the Prem. He wasn’t good enough in the end, so what? Plenty aren’t and he was still very good for us.

Not me I said I didn't rate him even back then. He was OK going forward, in a team with a wealth of attacking talent for the level we were at, but he was an awful defender who struggled against anyone with even a hint of pace. I guess in the end peoples view of him will be coloured by what they think the main job of a full back is if its bombing on and putting in crosses then you probably rated him if on the other hand you think a full back is part of the defence and as such requires a modicum of defensive ability you probably didn't rate him that highly.

Liked him. He gave us a bit of a nasty streak which is vital to any promotion campaign. West Ham away springs to mind when we were right under the cosh and he played a big part in getting one of theirs sent off, ended up getting a decent point. Sweet left foot too.

That kit though ????

He was a very average defender even in the Championship but did get a lot of assists

are worst left back ever was roger fry

patrick colleter was the worst for me subbed before half time against newcastle when we were 3-0 down and all the goals were his fault!

No one beats the woeful ineptitude of Lee Todd, a player who i think isn't just our worst left back, but probably the worst player i've ever seen wearing a Saints shirt. Also the only player i've ever seen another top flight footballer take pity on, away at Highbury, Henry had skinned him so many times and pretty much shown him up to be a park player, at one point after going by him again and shooting just wide he actually put his arm around him and seemed to apologise.

I did. He was limited, even in the Championship. Burnley fans were saying when he signed that he wasn't all that, decent delivery but suspect defensively.

I still think Hooiveld would have done a decent enough job as a back up CB in this league but Fox didn't half leave him exposed. The highlight for me was Newcastle away when Fox gave away a penalty, then smacked the ball at Jos for an o.g.

Awful player. Bernard was better

 

Harding should have been 1st choice LB over him

This. Had no pace and was scared to cross the halfway line most of the time due to the gaping hole he left down our left flank. Really liked Harding, he was great for us.

Aren't Saints fans great! No sooner a player leaves us than the slagging off begins.

Danny did a very good job for us when we needed him and never let us down. We are the sum of the parts and he was more than a spare part in our fight back from the wilderness. I was there for every damn game then so will not accept this cheap-shot criticism from johnny-come-lately's and armchair critics. If you have nothing good to say about an ex-player then keep your bloody traps shut!

The club did, if I remember correctly we came close to signing Alex Buttner before he ended up going to Man U instead.

yep poor old Danny no sooner is he out the door (give or take 4 years) than the slagging begins..

Is he still utterly incapable of making a tackle though?

certainly didn't make one against Chelsea. Didn't get remotely close enough to an opponent to make one.

Much as I agree with you, I think you'd have to shut up most of the traps on here to achieve that, as nearly every player we sell gets slagged off nowadays, and the Club does seem to encourage it.

fox is a good player in the championship.

My Forrest supporting brother in law would beg to differ. "Useless" would be his description and only the "£1m they wasted on McGoldrick" annoys him more.

Congratulations - one of the few on this subject actually talking sense.

A very very poor player carried by the other 10 around him....
