He's not fantastic, but none of our players are. Is he easily by an absolute country mile our best striker? Without question. Boggles my mind how anyone can't see that.

Problem with Norwood is at Town compared to his time at Tranmere, he's not making the off the ball runs needed as the front man, he was fantastic at Tranmere, but you watch videos of some of his goals and he's all over the place making space, inviting passes, and if he's not played in, his making spaces for others to attack themselves

For town, he's just using his weight to try muscle players off the ball, he's not helping those around him hence why it always looks likes he's isolated.

Never be afraid to share your thoughts.

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.


Nailed it. Sums up a lot of this forum in that second sentence.

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.


Not really about expectations , its about dropping your level

Not prepared to drop mine unfortunately

If you're willing to accept that Norwood is competent in our push for promotion , perhaps that's where the issue lies .He's not good enough

None of those things happened tonight unfortunately. I’d have brought Jackson on at half time.


LOLs

If we declare Norwood isn't good enough for a promotion push, while agreeing he's one of if not our best player, then surely you have to declare the rest are also not good enough? And if that's the case what business have we even got chasing promotion in the first place?

We're on the cusp of the play offs, and if by some miracle we got in them and won them, Norwood will have been our best striker and therefore will have been good enough.

He's the best striker we have so what is you're opinion of our other ones......!

One attribute is he can score. However if the service is sod all, he's not going to.

Because he's the best we have it doesn't make him "good"

As for what do certain people think of the other strikers.....just look at their contribution and there's the answer

I agree with many ref the supply but there were a few times last night that a ball was played into a space where Norwood should've been but his speed of thought was behind that of the player playing the pass through . For the record I agree in that role he is the best we've got but IMHO it doesn't make him a good player. Again it's all about opinions really

I'll add though , we're still playing one up front and I don't think that's effective enough with the calibre of striker we have at the club .We need to play with two up front. Again my opinion

Who exactly should we be getting then? We are a mid-table League One team.

Sorry I thought we were chasing promotion not a mid table team anymore ?

We've got what we've got and it's too late to add to the squad now obviously

Let me say Norwood IS the best we've got BUT that doesn't make him a good player

Perhaps playing (going back to last season in that purple patch) in a two with Jackson he might benefit

You could have messi in this team and he wouldn't look great.

He is pour only player who I think is a goalscorer. The fact he is our top goalscorer (with Edwards) and currently has 5 in 7 games, is decent.

The games I have seen, he gives us something different. Hawkins/Drinan and to an extent Jackoson are not going to get us goals. Therefore we need Norwood whether you think he's "good"

Some of the great goalscorers (which i'm not saying he is anywhere near) so like John Aldridge, he could do sod all all game, oh but he got 2 goals! He doesn't "offer anything" other than goals. But that is important.

Again it's a matter of opinions hey

Let's see how he goes for the remainder of the season and i'd love to be proven wrong .Really hope I am
