I'm no fan boy and I don't condone his behaviour off the pitch, but tonight he was decent...better than most of those around him... |
He really wasn’t and really isn’t |  |

A lot. Watch his game more closely. |
Compared to the strikers our top 6 rivals have, he’s utterly useless.
We need better than a piS*ed up, immobile, wannabe wrestler.
Feel free to enlighten us though. |  | | |

Aye that's my point. He's bang average, occasionally decent for this level. I don't get this fawning over him that we see from some on here. They get VERY upset with the slightest criticism of him. [Post edited 9 Mar 2021 21:08]

Compared to the service those other strikers get he’d have to work miracles to match them. Ivan Toney would struggle to score with the service Norwood gets! |  | | |

I'm not sure any of that is particularly true on a consistent basis - certainly being arrested for drink driving and constantly getting into scraps with fans on social media does not a great leader make.
He's a bang average league 1/2 striker who is probably as good as we have right now. Not sure why he has so many fan boys. |
I just documented why. His off the field antics have zero reflection on whether he’s a leader on the pitch. You, like a few, don’t seem to like his character, fair enough. We’re critiquing his game though and he’s been feeding off scraps for far too long. |  |

You lot make me laugh. Every week I point out he's an average league 1 player and every week you get on here and kick off. What is your issue exactly with admitting that he's an average league one player, one with a dodgy attitude? What part of that is incorrect? | |

I’ll admit I do. It gets on my nerves because none of the criticism ever has any substance whatsoever and it usually comes from a bunch of lads who follow the ball rather than watch everything that happens off it, which, on nights like tonight, is key to providing an honest assessment of his game. | |

You're kicking off at the suggestion he's an average League One player. Let that sink in.
I guess the real footballing blokes can see he's a Championship or PL striker with a great attitude? Righto. | |

get your head out of your backside looooolz. You are free to try ever so hard to to list his strengths like a Poundland Andy Gray but I simply don't rate him. He will score a few at this level but he won't get us up imo. | |

how can you follow him off the ball if the camera is pointing somrwhere else? | | | |

I’m not kicking off, I’m saying people make criticisms about players without any substance. If you watched tonight, critique his and all other players game rather than, “yeah, he’s rubbish”. Zero value in empty statements. If you think he’s “bang average” back it up with something insightful. Someone else can read it though. I’ve got some work to do. | |

He’s not the best IMHO
If someone could tell me what he brings I’d appreciate it ...other than just being annoying to defenders ....no particular skill set |
This is easy. How many chances/shots on goal do we have when Norwood plays? How many do we have when he doesn't?
Our main issue is the lack of service he has but he makes far better runs than any of the other strikers we have and he gives defenders a hard time. His finishing should be better but he makes up for that by getting in the right areas.
I also think he is better playing as a two with Jackson. |  |

I think played as part of a two up front and as part of a team playing better, he is pretty decent at this level. He'll continue to do well against most of the rest of the division. And let's face it, its been his goals of late on his return that mean we even have a sniff of the play-offs.
That said, we need someone else in, can't just rely on him as he's not good enough to be relied on. And if amazingly we went up, I just can't envisage him playing more than a bit-part in the Championship and then coming back down to this level, either with us or to someone else. | |

Toney would have had about 30 goals by Christmas last year if he had the chances Norwood did.
I do think we often look worse without him on the pitch, but sometimes he really does look like a pub player. Don't think he has been helped by the system a lot of the time although I can't see that changing much under Cook. | | | |

If he was as decent as certain people are declaring , if we’re fortunate enough to sneak ourselves up through the play offs he’ll suit the championship then .....NOT
His level is mid league one ....wish I was wrong
He really isn’t all people make him out to be. Love the attitude , love the intent and I admire his tenacity but those positives aside he really is bang average
Perhaps best of a really bang average bunch we have to choose from though | |

Nothing like stating things I have not said in order to argue against them, is there?
I never said he was a good Championship striker. I pointed out he is our best striker and the attributes he does have. Yes, I would rather have Harry Kane or Ivan Toney there. Guess what? We are not going to sign either of them! Yes, he needs more support. You are back-tracking to say he is now a mid-league one player when the thread started off by saying he is "league 2 at best"! | |

1 in 3 for a team challenging top end of league 1 seems pretty average for a striker. As others have said not bad, but not sure if he is good enough to get us promoted.
For me doesn’t work as a lone striker, though you can’t fault his effort. |  |

Just because he’s the best we’ve got it doesn’t make him any good ?
Perhaps I’m missing something | |

Sorry but i think your wrong, we were awful when he wasn’t playing. He makes the ball stick up the pitch for longer and when the balls smashed up the pitch in the defenders favour he usually gives them a hard time so that next time they have something to think about. To be fair to him the service he reserves is terrible | | | |

So our best player ('best of a bang average bunch') isn't good enough for where we are?
If that's the case our expectations are well higher than they should be. |  |

We don’t have one decent striker at the club. Looking forward to seeing who Cook brings in next season, hopefully two of them. |  | | |
