Morgan fox or Harry Lennon?

Evina makes more sense as he has played at this level before

Fox, just for that fact that left back is his position

Isn't Fox out of contract at the end of the season?

If so, it's now or never for him.


Last season he was an integral part of our Champions U-21 squad, which would have instilled in him confidence and a winning mentality.

This season he's played for Wales U-21 several times, played every match on loan to Notts County and scoring his 1st professional goal.

He's a specialist left back.
Play him and see if he's good enough.

It's the only way to find out.

No Evina didn't go in the end but still could now the loan window is open. Think he needs to go and play some football elsewhere. Lennon has done well so far and would stick with him against Burn.

Play the more natural left back - Morgan Fox.

However, I believe that Loic Nego can also play left back and he will switch over there on Saturday with Lawrie Wilson back in at right back.

Good point, Paddy.

But perhaps we'd benefit more with Nego keeping RB and Wilson driving forward at RM, yet giving Nego solid cover?

And play Fox at LB.

Okay, we're taking a risk with 2 inexperienced players at full back - but then we did that for 85 mins away at Wigan on Saturday.

I agree Oggy ,I know from his TV appearance the other week that SCP sees some benefit in inverted wingers ( right footed on the left and vice versa ) on occasions ,but he also said that it was different for full backs.Given that Nego is inexperienced himself I think this would be a mistake because it would compromise our potency going forward on the left.

The other 'experienced' options Hughes and Jacko (remember his original loan spell as a locum left back) wouldn't now have the legs to play at this level at left back,so it has to be Fox for me.

It seems to me that Evina's confidence is shot to shreds,

If he played - with his first mistake, he'll get dogs abuse from the non-thinking element of our supporters and fall to pieces.

I wouldn't risk him.


The crowd are more likely to be more tolerant of another youngster making his debut.


Personally, I feel CP will see the Brum match as 'a must not lose' and especially as there are so many new players, will try to play experienced pros in defence.
And he'll also see that young Lennon has aquitted himself well.

Whether that means we see 4 CBs across the back line - I bloody well hope not.
Players should play in their own specialist positions - it's where they're best.

I would have though he'd consider it a must win match! Draws here and there won't keep us up, and Brum are potentially a relegation rival.

I agree with you too, Killer!

We need points on the board right now.


Brum can easily enough get drawn back into the struggle.
They are only 5 or 6 points clear of us and a Charlton win on Saturday puts us in reach of them.

We need to adopt the same attitude that Donny did, when they played us.

Another point - with Kermo gone, we've lost a 'defender' when defending set pieces. That's a big loss.

No doubt CP will see Lennon's height and strength as a replacement for Kermo at set pieces, as well as his adaptability at full back.

Isn't Morgan Fox at Forest Green rovers on loan?

I had no idea, Falcs.

The club kept that one quiet!

I would also guess that Fox will leave the club in the summer - surely, with Wiggins injured, he would be in the matchday squad here otherwise

Those moves were denied by Forest Green, although they did finally complete the signing of Oliver (a free agent) today.

Morgan Fox hasn't gone there. Maybe he will when the loan window opens, but it hasn't happened yet.

We have two good left backs in the academy, Archie Edwards and Tareiq Holmes- Dennis. Although he has been playing in midfield. Kadell Daniel can also play left back but his preferred position is in midfield.

Put them all on the bench.

Youth is the way forward, doncha know?

Why not both ?

Perhaps it's a typo on the OS ..... and actually Megan Fox in our squad?

Why would we let her go in the summer?
