    Everyone keeps saying they would rather THD instead but cant say I have seen enough of him to comment, all previous managers who watch them at training seem to play fox instead also.

    He's improved a lot. Ability-wise I'd say he's 'alright', pretty decent at League 1 level now and I think he'll keep improving. Regardless, I have the utmost respect for him in the way he's held himself over the past couple of seasons. You can see he cares, and hears the stick he gets from some of our "cognitively-challenged" fans - but I've never heard or seen a negative thing from him and he keeps plugging away at it.

    Maybe if we can ride out this Duchatelet patch, he'll be here for a long time and become a bit of a home-grown icon. Let's face it, we're probably not going to need (or be able to get) anyone any better than him for some time at the rate we're going.

    My son told me about a great interview with Morgan with some fascinating snippets on his time with Charlton.
    Says he thinks it was in SLP and tweeted on his twitter site.
    Has anybody seen it or can get a link (sorry I am a total technofobe and can't find it online)

    Fox was thrown in at a young age into a failing team. The odds were stacked against him.

    Morgans improvement was one of the few highlights in the relegation season.

    "It’s been tough, especially as a young player almost thrown in after Powelly left. There was very little guidance from some of the management staff around me."

    Said it before but it's ridiculous to hear that considering our owner wants the club to bring young players through. He did say it's better now but it should have never got that bad in the first place.

    He will be gutted playing for Wednesday trying to reach the Premiership when he could be with us having no nothing morons slagging him off. Good luck son.

    Whilst never vocal I wasn't MF's biggest fan, but I sure as hell miss him now, and I wish him all the best, well done Morgan.

    Fox is Fox. He is playing in a better environment and a better team. The one that really needs a pat on the back is his agent for getting him out of Charlton.

    The Fox hunters should be outed on here. They are part of the problem IMO.

    Fox is still learning, last week at Leeds he looked pretty average but so did the rest of the team and we lost to what I think is a bang average Leeds side with one weapon up front.
    Yesterday he played against some decent players and was outstanding for a young lad still learning at this level.
    Hope he keeps playing that way and keeps his place.

    Morgan's family hail from the Chelmsford area. I know his dad has a "Fox" personalised plate on his car. This morning I spotted a very nice late model (probably new) Porsche 911 pootling through Danbury. Registration Number FOX 3. Too much of a coincidence surely? If that's Morgan's, Sheff Wed must be paying him quite well.

    No , but unlike Danny he has set his sky remote up to work the tv.

    Two bookable offences - looked in trouble every time he was one on one with one of their wide players.

    He is getting absolute pelters by Wednesday fans on twitter atm. Seems like he has the same issues still he had with us, slow, not great at crossing, getting skinned and not tracking back. I liked Fox and had time for him but I do think he doesn't have enough about him

    I thought he was having a decent game until saw red. Got skinned a couple of times but was isolated with they guy in front not coming back to help and everyone else staying in the box. A couple of great crosses and passes to edge of box.

    Saw Fox play for S.W. last week at Carrow Road against Norwich.
    Played wide at full back constantly pushing forward.
    His first few crosses went way beyond strikers but he pulled back a low cross which led to S.W. goal.
    Drifted a bit in the second half and was subbed.
