Fox Hunt

With Rhoys Wiggins being out for a minimum of 6 weeks with a fractured foot, Big Bob was a little coy on who would takeover at left back in the coming games. Morgan Fox has patiently waited in the wings appearing only at Fulham in the League and in the two League Cup games.

The Welshman may not have impressed as much as he did at the tail end of last season under Jose Riga, but the 21-year old needs and deserves a run of games. Coquelin, Gomez, Solly and Wiggins, even Cousins could probably all fill in there, but I would prefer to see Fox.

It’s a real shame for Rhoys as I thought he was just hitting his best form, but Peeters said that Joe Gomez is fully fit as is Igor Vetokele and Frederic Bulot is back in training, so he has almost a full squad to pick from.

Peeters may well take the opportunity to rest some of the players that have been involved in almost all of this season’s games. I am thinking one of Buyons or Jackson, particularly with Francis Coquelin impressing as a 2nd half sub on Tuesday, may start on the bench at Reading tomorrow.

Congratulations to Karlan Ahearne-Grant, who has been called up for the England U18 squad for their two games against Poland during the international break.
