I’m a bit worried about him. He misses so many chances and I worry he won’t be able to step up beyond this level. Is my concern justified?
Also, I’d like to see Lambert starting more players with a higher class and pedigree. Huws, Dozzell, Judge and Keane all belong at a higher level. The team that finished last night had a very league one feel about it. Not convinced at all by Edwards or Rowe
If only a player like Daryl Murphy was available at the start of the season as cover for Norwood's injuries and suspensions....
But the idea is that he is the player that is going to get twenty odd (or more) goals to carry us to promotion.
He might still do that but to get close to twenty odd goals he will either have to take a higher proportion of his chances or have even more chances created for him-admittedly he only had one chance on Tuesday.
At the moment he has got nearly as many bookings as goals.

He's more Joe Garner than Murphs, at the moment!
Ade Akinbiyi couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo...
I think we all know deep down that he's not likely to make the step up but he's plenty good enough for this level. He does miss too many chances and that's why this level will be his ceiling but I expect him to get 20 goals this season, he just needs one to go in again and I think he'll hit a bit of form.

I think the reasons we didn't go after Daryl Murphy was concern about his age and fitness (which has proven unjustified), possibly wages (Bolton have just been taken over by new investors) and maybe also a desire by him not to play second fiddle and sit on the bench a lot.
I’m not sure it was a terrible miss as you describe.
He flung himself at the ball & just couldn’t get enough on it.
Yes i agree it was just a bit unfortunate that it was just out of his reach, he was at full stretch and could only get a bit of a glance on it . Now if he was been 2" taller !!
James Norwood is the player we miss most when he is not in the team, it is his hold up and link up play we miss most. Look how much better Kayden Jackson is with Norwood along side him, if anything we need a similar hold up target man in the side as an alternative. This is the type of player I feel we need to sign in January to ensure we stay in the top two all season.

The way we are playing he would be a starter he would suit us.
Norwood for Tranmere was the one who got in behind, i don't think we are playing him the right way, he's not a target man or a hold up player.
Needs to stop being used as a target man for our hoof ball tactics. Will Keane is the better fit for our style of play at the moment. Edwards not good enough.
Darren Bent used to miss a lot of chances, but he did ok.
Youve got to be in position to miss chances and Norwood has that, just watch his movement. He'll score more than enough but he'll also miss a few, especially once hes properly match fit.

Will Keane doesn't win enough headers and his hold-up play isn't good enough to be a target man.
Well we shouldn't expect him to be our main man back in the Championship if we make it. While he scored goals he still came from League Two. He's done well so far but there's no guarantee he'll be a good second tier player. Could be a great sub to have.
How Edwards and Rowe got on the pitch on Tuesday before Judge (and arguably others) was beyond me. But what do I know.
Maybe Judge was being rested for the run in.
:)
I'm sure after Judge finally got his goal and hoped to kick on with it that we all expected to only see him for 5 minutes across the next 2 home games....

More likely being rested for QPR!
Both Judge and Dozzy should have been on at 70 mins. We desperately needed some quality while Wycombe were kicking out anywhere to disrupt us. I can't see either being used this weekend! Bearing the time before next league game i'd play almost full team to get the side to gel.
