Title: Lee Cox Post by: mystical_goat on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:47:22 Any good? About to sign for us apparently, possibly a 6 month loan.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: bigbobjoylove on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:48:23 He's not very good, hence why we're selling him and you're signing him.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Batch on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:49:03 No idea, only featured in 7 games then vanished. Should be OK in the pub league though.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Summerof69 on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:49:32 Risser was better than him.
Says it all really. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Benzel on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:50:16 Not good enough for the champions, so yeah, probably good enough for you.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: LucienSanchez on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:50:47 The one cameo i saw of him, he looked lively and tenacious - then he never played again. Not really sure what's gone on there, as he didn't look rubbish.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Bogus Dave on Friday, July 20, 2012, 15:52:57 What LS says. I though the looked decent on the few occasions he played. Obviously a falling out with di canio behind the scenes
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: carbonwhite on Friday, July 20, 2012, 16:00:22 So knowone wants to say what he did because they dont like spreading rumours. And then go as far as saying he fingered a child. Nice
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: mystical_goat on Friday, July 20, 2012, 16:01:09 He's not very good, hence why we're selling him and you're signing him. Like Tommy Mooney? Thanks Lucien for the first non-prick reply. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, July 20, 2012, 16:05:34 On his debut came on as sub against Crawley and looked very good. Played very little afterwards and when he did he looked very ordinary. There's either a player in there and you struck lucky or he flattered to deceive on his debut and you've got a very ordinary player.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: red socks on Friday, July 20, 2012, 16:07:01 There was fruit involved. He's moved on to his natural home.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, July 20, 2012, 16:37:02 From what little I saw of him I liked him. Seemed to pass the ball well, often played it simple, not afraid to tackle and was as strong as an Ox. I thought he'd become our new holding midfielder, but really that's based on little more than guesswork and generalisations because I think I only saw him twice.

The not owning up to getting pissed debate cost him i reckon. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Friday, July 20, 2012, 20:04:07 Like Tommy Mooney? Thanks Lucien for the first non-prick reply. nah, he was just a greedy cunt Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: ghanimah on Saturday, July 21, 2012, 09:21:48 Like Tommy Mooney? Thanks Lucien for the first non-prick reply. Didn't Mooney waste a year of his career at Oxford? Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: walcot red on Saturday, July 21, 2012, 09:26:40 Didn't Mooney waste a year of his career at Oxford? No he ended his career with us, he did some volunteering with some very 'special people' Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Sharpe on Saturday, July 21, 2012, 14:39:14 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/7924751/Oxford-clinch-Cox-loan-deal
He has gone. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Bathtime on Saturday, July 21, 2012, 15:39:53 What LS says. I though the looked decent on the few occasions he played.

Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: CalRed45 on Monday, March 25, 2013, 13:22:53 Got me thinking now Rooney has been welcomed back maybe Cox will at the end of the season as well. Didn't really see enough of him to make a judgement so would like to see him a bit more
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, March 25, 2013, 13:28:44 Got me thinking now Rooney has been welcomed back maybe Cox will at the end of the season as well. Didn't really see enough of him to make a judgement so would like to see him a bit more I raised this point a couple of weeks back, he has been in good form for both Pox and Plymuff this season, muff fans saying they would love to try and sign him at the end of the season.Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: kaufman on Monday, March 25, 2013, 13:31:39 This must have been spoken about but if say the embargo does not get lifted yet say Cheltenham go up automatically then surely Benson, Caddis and Cox can return to us should we end up in the playoffs?
Granted the Caddis one proves more tricky as we have Rooney Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, March 25, 2013, 13:52:37 A few quotes from the Pasoti forum about Lee Cox, all of these in the last 3 weeks....
Quote Cox 7 - another unfussy performance - what we needed There can't be many or any better CMs in this league than Lee Cox. In every game I've seen him play for us, he's had the better of the opposing midfield and he can certainly play a bit too. Sublime player and he's what we've needed all season. He could be the most important signing we make this Summer. I'd take Cox in a heartbeat. Cox. 3rd MOM in a row for me. What a signing. Coxworked so hard breaking up play and using the ball intelligently. MoM - Cox again for me. No nonsense, nothing flashy, but hugely effective. I'd hate for us to miss out on singing someone like Lee Cox. Cox is out most talented player. If we stay up we must keep Lee Cox. Very pleased with Cox, if all works out and we stay up I would like to see him here permanently next season. Cox got my vote for MOM ran it for us today. Cox was absolutely phenomenal today. Cox - 9/10 - Typically solid game from him today. Strong in the tackle, industrious and always looking to win the ball back. Cox was immense today. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: kaufman on Monday, March 25, 2013, 13:57:09 I think Cox will be back here next year, imagine he's just the sort of player the new boss would want.
he signed a 2 and a half year deal i think. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Reg Smeeton on Monday, March 25, 2013, 14:11:08 A few quotes from the Pasoti forum about Lee Cox, all of these in the last 3 weeks.... Big difference between looking good in a bottom Div 4 side and a top end Div 3 side. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, March 25, 2013, 14:12:22 Big difference between looking good in a bottom Div 4 side and a top end Div 3 side. Ritchie did it OK.Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, March 25, 2013, 14:16:47 And from what I have seen there is not a big gulf in standard between this division and the one below.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Monday, March 25, 2013, 14:29:08 Like the much maligned Alan Navarro, I think we saw some glimpses of quality when he first joined, and while injury has hampered Navarro, Di Canio hampered Cox. So it surprises me when I see negative comments about players who've hardly had a chance to show what they can do (I cannot recall exact posts, but I definitely recall seeing comments to the like of "he's shit, get rid"). Cox still has a lot to prove here, not his fault he didn't get the opportunity.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Batch on Monday, March 25, 2013, 14:47:02 not his fault he didn't get the opportunity. Well it might be, who knows. Either way your point stands. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Monday, March 25, 2013, 15:00:57 Well it might be, who knows. Either way your point stands. Good point; no telling whether the slight that so offended Di Canio was real or imagined. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: DMR on Monday, March 25, 2013, 15:48:04 Big difference between looking good in a bottom Div 4 side and a top end Div 3 side. More cobblers Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: BruceChatwin on Monday, March 25, 2013, 16:08:03 Still only 22. Think we will seem him back here next season.
Presumably both he and Caddis will be eligible for us in the playoffs, albeit it would be hard to justify either playing. Wish we had both available for the run-in although arguably A. Rooney is more useful to us than Caddis would be considering our striker situation. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: welshred on Monday, March 25, 2013, 16:28:38 I'd welcome back all three of our loan players at the end of the season. God knows we could do with the numbers.
Don't think Cox was ever given a fair crack of the whip, Benson is more than an adequate League 1 forward and certainly no worse than we already have and we all know Caddis is good enough for this league (whether or not he'd want to come back or not remains to be seen). Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: FormerlyPlymRed on Monday, March 25, 2013, 16:59:56 I've been to a few Plymouth games recently and he has definitely impressed, would have him back here for next season.
I personally think he would do a better job than miller is doing at the minute as he's very good at harassing and winning the ball back, got a decent pass on him as well. Would do well at this level Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Flashheart on Monday, March 25, 2013, 17:20:22 Caddis' called up for Scotland
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Ticker45 on Monday, March 25, 2013, 17:43:48 Never saw enough of Cox to really see what he could do and initially was not that impressed, but how he was told to play may have had more of a bearing on his few performances.
None too sure if we will see any of the loanees back here wearing the red again but I have been wrong before and if they are still under contract then I guess KMac would need to have some sort of say. :hmmm: Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: @MacPhlea on Monday, March 25, 2013, 17:48:36 Caddis' called up for Scotland Not sure if that will add or detract from his value... Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Monday, March 25, 2013, 20:00:19 Can't be any worse than Millers recent form...don't think Benson is what we are missing mind.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Monday, March 25, 2013, 20:40:37 Can't be any worse than Millers recent form...don't think Benson is what we are missing mind. He's scored a few for Cheltenham, wouldn't have minded having him here and scoring those goals for us instead. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Batch on Monday, March 25, 2013, 20:52:57 Caddis' called up for Scotland Desperation. Hasn't he got any English grandparents? Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Monday, March 25, 2013, 20:53:15 3 in 12. Hardly prolific.
Don't get me wrong he was superb last season but doesn't offer anything different from what we have here. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Batch on Monday, March 25, 2013, 20:55:30 Better at heading than anyone we have. Better at finishing. Fox in the box. In my opinion obviously. Would be nice to have him as another option, but we don't.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Monday, March 25, 2013, 20:57:55 3 in 12. Hardly prolific. Don't get me wrong he was superb last season but doesn't offer anything different from what we have here. It's not prolific, but as I said he's scored a few and I'd rather they were for us than them. Also agree with Batch about his attributes, just a shame we don't have him as an option on the bench. Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: kerslakeisgod on Monday, March 25, 2013, 22:15:41 Its not all about Bensons goal scoring tally, but his hold up play & the ability to bringing other players into the further attacking positions surely. Prime example Dave Mitchell so under-rated but so badley missed.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, March 25, 2013, 22:20:12 Better at heading than anyone we have. Better at finishing. Fox in the box. In my opinion obviously.

SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, March 25, 2013, 22:29:31 I'd like to see them both back for pre-season training. How long a contract is Benson on?
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Dr Pierre Chang on Monday, March 25, 2013, 22:33:12 He has a deal untill summer of 2014.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, March 25, 2013, 22:35:29 Good. Benson would be a valuable squad member, even in the Championship. And I'd just like to see what Cox could do.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Bukkake Regiment on Tuesday, March 26, 2013, 02:05:42 To have all 3 back would be good but realistically I can't see Caddis coming back. His stock has risen a lot. If Birmingham can't afford him then I can see a lot of Championship sides trying to sign him.
Title: Re: Lee Cox Post by: Ticker45 on Tuesday, March 26, 2013, 14:54:21 To have all 3 back would be good but realistically I can't see Caddis coming back. His stock has risen a lot. If Birmingham can't afford him then I can see a lot of Championship sides trying to sign him. Agree with the Caddis scenario but if he does go then he should be worth a few bob to us. However, saying that, not sure how the one year option on his contract works and whether he could just go. :hmmm: |
