Is he carrying an injury? In the clear last night and the wakey winger gave him a 10 metre start and still caught him

It's not an injury, Fox is just a slow winger.

Murphy is not quick if that helps.

Murphy then made a break in the second half and didnt have enough pace to back himself against Clint who had tracked back, and he cut inside. Tbh, i think Colbon might actually be quicker than Fox? He reeled in Eastmond last week, and Did the same last night but i cant remember who he chased down?

Don't know if he's injured or not but I think he needs some specialist coaching.

He's got great explosive pace and power, from five to twenty five metres he's very quick. The problem seems to be in maintaining that, for me he needs to learn to relax and not concentrate too much on being caught whilst still keeping an awareness of where opposing players are.

Most sprinters (and yes I do realise that it's a lot different in boots, on grass and carrying a ball) explode and then try and maintain without dying. Carl Lewis used to say it wasn't about catching people, it was about relaxing and making them come back to you. In the seventies, the Russians used to make sprinters sprint with apples in their mouths to teach them to relax.

I remember Jamie Baulch doing some specialist sprint training at Bradford, I don't know if it was successful or not but I do recall him saying that a lot of players didn't technically know how to run properly.

I don't think that Fox is ever going to be the fastest, there's more to him than that, but I do think he could be quicker.

Having said that, at the moment, he might as well keep his track suit on for the amount of ball he's seeing.

I think he looks like he's bilked up this year, seems a lot more solid and wondered in game one if it would effect his pace and he seems to have. To be fair to last nights break tho' he was clipped by 2 defenders which will have slowed him before he was eventually caught

The original poster is nothing but a troll, there is nothing genuine in his question.

It's not atroll at all. I've had plenty of rovers fans tell me fox is lightening quick and he wasn't last night so just asking if he was injured. Perfectly reasonable question
