Morgan Fox and humble pie

Things against Morgan Fox:

1) His class as a player is open to question.

Things for Morgan Fox

1) He cost us nothing.
2) He's one of our own.
3) He stepped up willingly when Wiggins got injured.
4) He has had to adapt to play with countless different players inside him and in front of him.
5) He has tolerated dogs abuse without throwing a wobbly.
6) He never hides.
7) He has age on his side.

In the panoply of Charlton Athleticism, there are far more people deserved of criticism before we land on Morgan Fox.

You'd worry if a pro didn't want to
Play . Bless his cotton socks

What makes me laugh, is all these fans on here saying "he's sh*t! "

And how many of them have had a successful professional football career?

I tell you what, you play against Foxy one Sunday morning down the park, and see what mugs he makes of you...

Jesus, really?

So by your logic:

- If a taxi driver takes me to the wrong place, I can't complain. (I've never driven a taxi professionally)

- If my office computer was damaged by a cleaner spilling cleaning fluid, I can't complain. (I've never cleaned professionally)

- If I go to a restaurant and the chef turns out an uncooked microwavable meal, I can't complain. (I've never been a chef)

- Thousands of fans protesting outside the club are laughable, and have no reason to complain. (They've never ran a football club themselves)

As for shitty politicians, poor public transport and other every day ineptitudes - there's no point complaining if you've never had a successful career in those industries... right? Give it a break.

Morgan Fox is an average footballer, and he had a few wobbles over the course of the season. He recovered well, found strength of character and came back to end the season pretty respectably. He's got potential.

You don't have to have had a professional career as a footballer to disagree with another (entirely inexperienced I'm presuming.) fan's opinion though. I have no idea why these threads always seem to devolve in the same way, not everyone needs to agree but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Yes everyone to their own opinion of course. But if a cleaner spills cleaning fluid on your computer, do you stand in the middle of the office, giving hand gestures for ninety minutes, calling him/her every name under the sun?.

Yes

Roland and Katrien have, as we all know, made tons of mistakes.

However, they have never stooped so low or been so dumb as to abuse our own players during a match.

They do enough of that on non-match days.

I stand in the car park and give hand gestures.

Birmingham City want him if we can get 750,000 for him that would be a good deal .... As we have TDH and Edwards waiting to take over

Or Katrien can make the same deal see did with Birmingham for Morrison.

Take him on loan and when he's proved he's good enough you can have him for nothing.

Big diff Morrison was 4th choice and asked for a move

Wouldn't you? They tried to farm him out to some Romanian team.

if i could give an extra like for the use of the word "panoply" i would

+ likes for the repeat post.

I'm going to listen to Sufijan Stevens most recent album Carrie & Lowell now.

It helps me for a time remember the importance of life and love.

As to Fox, have had some moments where we shouted at him for missing a particular pass and at one stage thought he was a weak link but always thought he was developing ok.

Remember threads where his dad was criticised, poor call from the posters there.

Morgan deserves better and apologies are due.

Morgan fix is a terrible terrible terrible player. Stood still for the first goal and the second!!! Terrible, he turned, looked at Boyd but still chased the ball like a 4 year old and got the flight wrong.

My nan who has been dead for 20 years can get more power in a cross

Not anymore - since "the incident".
