...luminaries on here that Norwood was a waste of space, would never play for the club again and I was mad for repeatedly saying he should play, and is the best striker we have.
Not saying I told you so.
But... |  |

I think tbh you're taking it further than it needs to be
He was indeed our 3rd choice striker
Our first choice has been struggling recently
our 2nd choice hasn't taken his opportunties, as brief as they have been
our 3rd choice as must as we may not like the person, has a very good goal to game time ratio, so purely on on pitch relevence, there's no reason why Norwood should be excluded. As I say i don't like the person he appears to be, but im going purely on football matters. |
You described Norwood as "the best option upfront on the pitch". That's a ridiculous comment when he's just scored his first league goal of the season. |  |

He offered us more in 20 minutes than the other 2 have in games lately. So yes he is the current best option available. Our other is on loan. [Post edited 11 Dec 2021 21:44]

Previously I considered 'told you so' posts rather embarrassing, but that was in the days when it was just opinion vs opinion. Unfortunately nowadays it is so often 'my opinion is fact and your opinion is worthy of scorn', so I can understand how being made to feel like that must trigger the desire to post this, so enjoy your day in the sun. |  |

To be honest I wouldn't have posted it if some the abuse I got for merely expressing my opinion hadn't gotten so ugly. | |

Of course I would ;)
But like was it Cook or Ashton that stopped him playing we'll never know for sure will we? | |

I'd say it was most likely Norwood himself that stopped himself playing. If he pulled his head out of his arse in the last few months and decided to show up, then fair play to him. However, for most of this season - most were right not to invest much hope in him.
Let's not get too carried away either, as he's not often gone on for many games with us before being on the injury list. | |

Losing a discussion so making stuff up. Typical.
No shame in admitting he's a prick off the pitch but good on it. | |

He’s a handful, and a good L1 option. Has to remain fit though.
I’m only interested in what is best for Ipswich Town, if he performs over a period of time like today, then him being involved is certainly what’s best for Town.
Let’s see how it goes. |  | | |

He takes up about as much space as two regular professional footballers, so in that sense he's a waste of space as you could use the space he occupies to have two actual footballers. |
Deary me. |  |

It's sad that you have to continue offering caveats to the end of your posts (even if they're true). [Post edited 13 Dec 2021 15:24]

He’s a prick off it and ok on it when he’s fit which is about half the time.
Overall now we have some cash, let’s get rid of the pricks and get better, more consistent players. |  | | |

He’s not a waste of space, he’s a c***. I’m genuinely torn.
I would say that one swallow doesn’t make a summer. If he fires us to the premier league I’ll happily be his chauffeur. |  | | |

The vast majority of the anti Norwood stuff is because he's considered a bellend off the pitch. I'm with you. He should be starting. Some of this lot want to loan him out and don't care if he goes to another league one club.

"Considered a bellend off the pitch"
His tweets and Instagram posts display a rare intelligence and wit that is probably too difficult for his detractors to appreciate or even understand, so they resort to criticism.
And once one or two say something about him, the numbskulls and prima donnas jump on the bandwagon. |  | | |

Ok I’ll bite.
His 2 drink drive convictions suggest what?
He is a cunit and frankly I’m ashamed that he is playing for my team. | | | |

Pigott got 20 goals at this level last season, Bonne has scored goals at this level and the level above and has as many goals after 20 games for us as Norwood has ever managed for us in a season. That's why Norwood is third choice behind those two, it's based entirely on their on field performances. |
LOL, so we can rate players based on their CV but not managers? Pigott's done nothing in a Town shirt. |  |

I find the painting of Norwood as our saviour after one goal somewhat more desperate. For me he's a symbol of our decline and failure as a club in recent years. If he goes on to score a shed load of goals and fires us to the top 6 I'll happily stand corrected. |
We improved massively after Norwood came on, it wasn't just about his goal. I bet you didn't even watch the game. | |
