The best thing for Morgan Fox would be to leave. The treatment he gets from some Charlton fans is unjust and downright wrong. I'm sure those 'fans' will soon find another scapegoat.
We are a physically small team. Fox's height is needed for set pieces at either end. Chicksen and Da Silva have pace which is lacking but if we can't defend free kicks and corners we will struggle.

This ... There must be something about him if Derby and Wednesday want him.
I'm not a Fox fan - just don't thibk he's good enough. But I do admire his devotion and will wish him well if he goes. Good move for him if it comes off. That said, I just can't believe that two upper championship teams are seriously bidding good money for him. There must be better left backs out there for that sort of dosh surely?

Chris Powell, a man who knows a bit about left back, is involved with Derby still isn't he?
I was really impressed with him against Bristol Rovers. Brave in a way which isn't as flashy as smashing into tackles - tries to play the ball first time even though he knows he will get hammered if it doesn't come off.
Some of the opinions on here really say more about the poster than the player. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt by thinking it must be a child posting but you know some of them are for 50 year old skinheads who spend their saturdays shouting abuse at people.
Exactly. Good riddance to a youth team product who never gives anything less than 110%, genuinely cares for the shirt and, despite the totally unjustified stick he got from a healthy portion of them, always ensures to appreciate the fans before and after games and most importantly is vastly underrated by many. Welcome a Chelsea loanee who will be off in a couple of months.....
Monday's game just typified the reaction of some of our fans-his performance was pretty much faultless defensively and he got forward well yet, whilst good tackles and passes got pretty much ignored, his one mistimed tackle got jumped upon and he was the biggest c*nt under the sun....

Sorry a bloke calling himself ChrisWhytesBaldhead saying that made me laugh

Holmes-Dennis?....oh hang on.
Yes, that thought was in my head as I was typing.........

Not sure how tall Konsa and Aribo are otherwise a valid point Len as the new lad JFC won't help much at 5'10" unless he's got a leap like Uwe Seeler (West German striker of the 70's for you youngsters ).
KR and his coaches will be fully aware that apart from the CBs and Magennis the next additions, assuming there will be some, need to pass the height test.
Personally don't think he's good enough for Championship football.
But went through a great patch of form a while back when he had Bulot in front of him. Shows he can do well enough when he is confident. Right now you can see he has lost that confidence.
What I find disgraceful is the amount of stick he has got. He isn't Roger Johnson, he has never abused the fans, Fox always gave it his all and is one of us. A Charlton supporter.
The songs of "send him off" and what not when he commits a foul is embarrassing. Sometimes I can't help but feel there are some fans who deserve to be in the situation we are in. He may not be our best player, not by any means, but he doesn't deserve the stick he has received.
The amount of times I've had to tell people to shut up about him is unreal. On Monday a group of boys my age (again, how sad) were calling him everything you could imagine and it was horrible, enough was enough. None of them looked like they had even kicked a ball in their life at a half decent level, because goals on a Friday night with a few girls watching you really doesn't count!
As said I personally don't think he is good enough for the Championship, it's hard to see him getting in either Wednesday's or Derby's team, but he most certainly needs a new environment and to get away from some of the people in the stands.

Good luck Morgan, you're better off elsewhere.
I too could not agree more with the above post. Never one for hurling abuse at our own players myself (seems self defeating) and in Morgans case find it unjustified. I am quite sure there are people more capable of judging his ability at Derby and Weds who are making the bids than the morons with the abuse.
weve played 25 league games this season and the only game anyone can say he played well is 1 against bristol rovers, what did he do in the other 24 games, not saying he was the only one that hasnt played to potential.

I'll never boo a player, but ducking out from challenges at millwall the other week is not excusable.
Good riddance, mistake after mistake has cost us points. He never once holds his hands up, as soon as the ball hits the back of the net he already pointing and shouting at someone else.
The kids a joke, and his attitude isn't as good as you all make out. For me, someone who constantly blames others for their own mistakes isn't someone you want playing next to you.
It's no longer just a case of the morons reacting to anything he does wrong with abuse. These are people who for whatever reason (midlife crisis, wanting to seem hard in front of peers etc) actively want Fox to fuck up so they can scream at him. You can sense it when the ball goes near him. "Oi!" they begin to yell. Or "Now then, look, he's gonna" or just "FOX..." before he's even had a chance to address the situation. Often he'll do the right thing, such as clear it up the line or pass back to the keeper and get an absolute torrent anyway. These people are sick in the head and I dread to see who their next target is.
Randomly, was chatting with a work colleague earlier this week, got on to the subject of football, Charlton, etc - and she said her boyfriend was a good mate of Morgan's, and that she met him on NYE. Apparently he'd said that he was enjoying his time with us, but that he may well be off to Sheffield in January....
Whilst, I don't agree with the negative view of Fox that some hold, he will do well with better players around him. The club sold the wrong left back. They should have sold Fox at the start of the season and kept Holmes-Dennis, who would have likely wanted to stay, if he was going to have a regular first team spot.

Think many are blinkered by the fact he's come from the academy. I wish him all the best as I know he always gave 100% but for me he isn't good enough.
The club is all about balancing the books by churning through the youngsters. Probably judged Fox as unlikely to appreciate in value so a good time to cash in.
Whatever else, he has demonstrated good inner strength and professionalism in putting up with unkindness. Let's hope he cracks on and has a long and satisfying career.

Now we are short again at LB but more importantly who will the haters hate the most now?

He is better off else where, your right.
