Its pretty clear that Fox pulls his punches in interviews but you can tell he's not happy about the things or lack of things we generally have been mentioning. The lack of compete across 60 minutes, the missing heart, character, battle element.
I have a feeling he is no more than one more awful game from letting rip (even in an interview) I dont think he is the type of guy to keep it bottled up long, especially in the locker room. So at some point he may throw a few frags into the mix... :peek:

Aaron Fox: ‘We can’t let this title race slip away from us

Fox sounds incredibly deflated.
:meh:
I think he may be already putting a line threw some names and starting a fresh with the new contracts, we have had a decent season but not a great one and depending on squad numbers next season I see Fox Starting almost from scratch. I think the goalie situation and the entire defence need a reel strong look at... I am sorry but the defenders at the minute are really not at the same standard as a few of the teams below us!
I would also be in the market for a stud goalie, if Fox still wants to go for the tandem import goalie option then the Rok would make an excellent second netminder, i would be real concerned if he either went with our current pair or even the Rok as our number one, some of you have forgot what a top draw netminder looks like because we haven't had one in years :arrg:
I’ve always been a big advocate of building from the back.

A top EIHL level netminder has the ability to steal games and make those saves that others wouldn’t.

A strong D ensures he has less to do and the shots he faces are from lower percentage areas (I.e. the outside). Also ensures our forwards would have to score less on average to win games.
