Swindon chairman Andrew Fitton has launched a broadside at West Bromwich Albion claiming they are wasting the talents of Simon Cox.
Cox joined
Albion for £1.9m in the summer from
Swindon but has been restricted to just one start under Roberto Di Matteo at the Hawthorns, which has left Fitton scratching his head.
He said: “West Brom are asking Simon to play in a different position and I don’t understand that.
“With a guy who knows where the white sticks are as well as he does, you just ask him to hit them as much as possible. He’s a truly top class goalscorer and can do that at any level.
“He’s not afraid to gamble, he’s not afraid to take on the ridiculous chance, he doesn’t need three touches and will have a go with the first one, not letting it affect him if it goes in the crowd. That’s what Simon has.
“It could be a lengthy transition for him, but if they want him to play in a different role then they might not want to send him back here. We might teach him bad habits – like goalscoring.”
