| Norwood – not good, truth be told 09:35 - Jul 28 with 5815 views | thebooks |
Just wondered what you all thought about Norwood?
I think there's a school of thought that says he was injured a bit last season and that affected his form.
I just reckon he's not good enough even for this level. Lacks composure and a bit one dimensional. Also feel he can booked at any moment.
Love to be wrong, though. |  | | |  |

He still scored 11 goals in a side that doesn't create enough chances and that despite clear injury issues. His finishing one on one is erratic but I think he proved himself good enough for this division. |  |

I thought he looked desperately unfit for the most part last season. I'm not sure if that's lifestyle or professionalism or injuries but he was miles off the pace. He knows where the net is though, I'm sure of that. 11 goals isn't the worst return given the amount he was out and evidently playing despite not being 100%. I think he could be a 20 goal a season man at this level but he has to want it and get himself into shape.
He's also got a style that we lack elsewhere IMO, I like the fact he plays on the edge and he plays with some personality. We don't have enough of that. |  |

It's not a school of thought he was injured - he was injured and playing with an injury that hampered him - that's not in question.
He needs a fair few chances to score goals though to be fair - that said, he hustles and bustles which we need and I think if he can get on a run, will score 15+ this season. |  |

I would say his finishing one on one is pretty much consistent because he fails to score almost every time-or at least he did in 2019/20. |  | | |

Was playing at 50% so Lambert(?) or Norwood himself said?
11 goals (1 every 174 mins)
3 assists.
Not a bad return considering he only played 28 games although yes he should’ve scored more but he can’t score one on ones haha.

I think he is good enough for this level, just not sure he will cut it here long term and that it will work out |  |

Decent striker for this division and has the sort of all-action style that would mean injuries make a big difference. I don't really doubt that and it's been good to have him here. Wouldn't hang your hat on him as the man to fire us into the Championship though. |  |

I think he'd be a better player if he wasn't trying to 'Joe Garner' his way through games.
He's a big enough lad that he can throw his weight around a bit rather than throwing himself on the floor. |  | | |

I think he's a good League One striker. I don't think he's a TOP League One striker and I don't think he'd ever make the step up to Championship level but his workrate and a bit of physicality makes him a really useful player on top of the fact he'll likely grab you 15 goals a season in a good team. | | | |

I agree with this, he is erratic and blows hot and cold, when hot he looks a good striker but can go weeks without looking likely to score only to suddenly blow hot again. I think there's 20 goals in him when fit but we might need someone who can trouble defences up front by them selves with some pace too and I say that as I remain convinced that Jackson should play in a 2 or even slightly wider I don't think he can play as the single point of contact up front. | | | |

He's one of those players who just flies under the top flight.
DMc is the same, as is Skuse.
Good enough but not quite got that edge. If they had it they sure as hell would he elsewhere. |  |

His finishing in one-on-one situations is absolutely woeful and he will miss a hell of a lot more chances than what he’ll score. Saying that, L1 defenders will always know that they’ve been in a game if they come up against him. And he’s definitely a hardworking better - probably an upgraded Frank Nouble.
He’s good enough to help a team make that promotion push if he has better players creating more him. But, he certainly isn’t good enough to power up a team by himself. At the risk, of getting away with myself, the championship will be a step too high for him. |  | | |

He just takes 4 decent chances to score. Can't remember what game it was last season but he must have missed 3 one on ones in the first half. |  |

I personally think that if we stuck with a settled team, won a few games and got some confidence back, that a lot of our players would look 100% better than last season (not difficult for some of them, I admit).
Norwood does frustrate me, but I think with an injury free season and a bit of confidence, he would easily score 20+ goals in this league (especially if the service improved too). |  | | |

What the hell is a duel?
Sky seemed to start this stat off but I have no idea what it means. Is it just literally when two players go for the ball when it's crossed in etc? |  |

A duel is a 50-50 contest between two players of opposing sides in the match. | | | |

In the right setup he'll come good.
He got a lot of chances (and missed a lot of chances) last season in a team pretty devoid of creativity, so to me that suggests there's potential. If we had Alan Judge in his prime I think we'd be seeing the best of Norwood, but obviously he's not so we need to have a collective effort to provide a supply line for him.
'Also feel he can booked at any moment' - This can always be excused by arguing that 'he plays on the edge'. It is annoying, like it was with Garner, but if it gets him in the mood then whatever. |  |

Lambert is a fraud though remember, so that must be wrong. | |

Watching him against Accrington at home last season he missed what looked a couple of sitters in real time and then scored with that sublime chip, which was real quality. If he is still getting in positions to miss chances, I'll take that from Norwood. | |

Thanks. Who decides what is a 50-50 ball? | |

Evans has always bought a high percentage of duffers, Huws has been injured nearly all his career, Nolan dodgy calf Nsiala hamstring Bullard Adeyemi, Coke Ebanks Blake Ellington Best and Bishop our own has hardly ever played, the list is huge. |  | | |
