But does he have a relegation release clause?

Great news, gets better every season for us, could end up close to 20 goals by end of season, I hope humprys is the man to go along side him and produce the goods very soon.

 

[RHB]

Yep, a winning move for me. If everyone offered up as much effort as Coxy does in a game I'm convinced there would be more points on our board.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Maybe he will start showing his face in The Benfleet Tavern now that he is one of us locals.

Agreed, me too. I fear that Cox and Humphrys aren’t the issue - our lack of midfield creativity is. Kights and McLaughlin are the only fit(ish) proper first team midfielders who have the creative ability but they just do not seem to have been able to show it this season. They have had the chances and we have looked badly exposed when they have played because they do not do the defensive work at all and haven’t been able to add anything like enough going forward.

 

[Chairman Trigg]

Most talented forward we've had for years...just a shame the current team aren't up to his standard.One of the few at present putting in a proper shift every game.

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

Surprised the nay sayers haven't taken this thread by storm. Never have I know a player to be so polarising of supporters opinions as was Cox at the end of last season.

His effort speaks for itself. The closest we have to a captain right now in that team.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Quite possibly the best technical player we’ve ever had. Just wish a couple others were on his wavelength

Honestly think he gets in any side in this division

 

[Special Blue]

Maybe he will start showing his face in The Benfleet Tavern now that he is one of us locals.

Happy hour Monday night?

...the poor bloke deserves better!

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

He seems happy enough about it!

 

[BriggBlue]

so for next season we have Hopper, Cox and Humphreys all signed up with Kelman waiting in the wings. not too shabby

Probably best to stop there for the moment though.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Great news!

Coxy should be team captain, and next season maybe him in a creative central midfield position, alongside a rejuvenated Dru with Hopper and Humphrys up front - great! Then they just need to sort out the rest of the team...

 

[Barry.C]

Excellent news, interesting timing on the release!
