    May have missed it on another thread but did he go off injured last night? If so anyone know how bad?

    I don't think he was injured - think it was just tactical

    He felt his groin so NA took him off.

    Or more like - We were 2-0 up against a side that doesn't score many, we were looking comfortable in the game so NA gave another player in the squad a decent amount of time on the pitch.

    NA is the man. Team spirit is the key in this squad.

    I think he was just resting him. The way we are playing at the moment, with no width from midfield, it requires the full backs to bomb forward. This surely get's tiring especially with three games in a week. I expect to see Fox once again bombing up the pitch on Saturday with no problems

    I think he didn't want to push his luck on Fox with him only recently back from injury and us playing a lot of games lately

    Why would it be tactical? We were 2-0 up and Fox is better defensively.

    Adkins said in post-match interview that it was a precaution as he was feeling his groin, as SL Saint said. Same for Guly (hamstring). But I didn't get the impression either was serious.

    I was at the game, looked to me Fox was taken off as he had lost it. He kept going mental at their crowd and their winger. So think he was brought of before being sent off.

    Was he being baited then? Has Fox got a history with Hull?

    Haven't a clue if he has history, just seemed to have lost it. Kept shouting at the crowd when he took throw ins etc. I could see them having a go back, but obviously don't know what was said.

    King was actually giving Fox quite a match, and I suspect that along with his attacking duties, Fox was getting a little tired, and that's where injuries surface. Harding is more than capable of keeping an opposition player quiet, and I noticed that King's name didn't get mentioned much after the change.

    I'm not going to sit here and type... I can't understand why people don't rate Harding, because by now you all have your entrenched views, and are unwilling to change them, having damned the player.

    He also spilt blood for the cause putting his head in where it hurts, may not be the best player in the pack, but is brave and always gives his all, that is all we ask.
