I'm not suggesting he replaces Fox, I'm saying he'll be a massive help for him next season

in terms of giving him a passing option. I said yesterday that we don't play a very good forward ball, and we don't, and I'm not sure why that is. Terry Connor spent much of the afternoon shouting at his players to sit on Foxy and it's to Foxy's credit that he eluded them a lot.

But so very often there's nobody available for an incisive pass, and a lot of our fluent passing moves end up with Ruddy. My hope is that Howson will work in tandem with Fox, being close when he needs to offload quickly or moving intelligently when a through ball is on.
