The game he played against Notts County was painful to watch. Bet he couldn't believe his luck when Tis have him a ring. Sadly he's finished as a footballer
Yes he is, but by all accounts not particularly well, as we are playing him wide left where there are other options sat on the bench. We basically signed a senior left back when we had one (Woody) who by same accounts had a good year last year and is holding his place this yearI did see someone sat Moxey is also a waste
Now this and the last season I've lost interest in watching City so excuse my ignorance but is Dean not playing regular football?
Tisdale has a habit of keeping a group of senior players around for a long period of time as the core of the team. My suspicion with Moxey is that he has been given three years because he is intended to be that core going forward, and it will mean moving on the likes of Harley, TAH, and probably losing one or more of JMT, Pym, etc.Yes he is, but by all accounts not particularly well, as we are playing him wide left where there are other options sat on the bench.

My guess is that Moxey is on good money and if he weren't a club hero, would people have got excited about paying excellent wages to a 31 year old when we already have a player in his position. Answer = no
ps By the way, huge Moxey fan when he was here before and followed his career with interest especially the bit in the Prem but, as with TAH and to some extent Harley, its a signing of someone "easy" and "simple" when actually the wage would be better used elsewhere
Which exactly backs up John W's point above - Tis likes to compartmentalise his CBs into left-sided and right-sided. Therefore JMT's back up is Croll, then either Moxey or Woodman. Brown's cover is either Troy or Sweeney. So if JMT is injured, the left-sided CB will be one of his back-ups rather than Troy/Sweeney.When Croll, and JMT were injured we played Moxey at centre half and left TAH on bench.

This stuff about having a good influence in the dressing room : I can't imagine there are any bad apples. If the "good influence" in the dressing room is not reflected in the results, it has no meaning. Since Moxey came into the team and the McA / Reid partnership was broken up has coincided with a mediocre run of form. Let's call a spade a spade.Tisdale has a habit of keeping a group of senior players around for a long period of time as the core of the team.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see moxey given 2 more years after this contract because Tisdale will see his influence in the dressing room to be as important as his being a versatile option on the pitch.
Bit of a side note but I wonder how many teams in this division have as many people in and around the squad who were at the club 10 years ago?
