Or am I reading too much into it?
“Has to show me..”
“Get to where he was..”
Doesn’t sound like he’s a nailed on starter anymore? |  |

If a fit James Norwood isn't a guaranteed starter that suggests our other strikers are doing something right.
Seems like he's being challenged to get himself fit, which is obviously taking a while. But you can always read something into quotes if you want to. |  |

I think you are.
No player should be guaranteed a place at any club.
They have to perform in training and matches at the expected level.
Norwood is not fit, which is to be expected. Equally, he needs to get fit and scoring goals in training before getting competitive game time. |  | | |

Certainly something going on with Norwood - what? I don’t know but there is no smoke without fire. I guess that Lambert has to move someone on to get someone in. |  |

There seems to be something in these constant stories. Would rather him be here, work back his fitness and lead the line.
Jackson isn’t a lone striker, and you probably can’t rest your hopes on Drinan and Hawkins for 46 games etc.
Certainly seems Lambert isn’t a happy camper though, he’s either laying down to challenge to Norwood or he genuinely wants him gone (possibly replaced by Clarke-Harris) |  |

In the EADT Lambert also confirms that he is part of his plans. |  |

That's the way I read it too. Said something about needing to get fit, to get back into the side and to get back to his Tranmere form.
Sounds like Norwood has taken his eye off the ball for some reason. Really cannot understand the speculation because it is all from teams that would not cover his current wages let alone pay a fee on top. |  |

As a side note, what has happened to Simpson
Is he injured or just out of the reckoning having looked promising? |  |

Can see him being moved on, unfortunately. Think he is vital for us going up. We will be relying on other not as good to fill the hole left. Maybe Lambert has his eye on his replacement. |  | | |

His Tranmere form is League Two form.
I sense that he doesn’t fit in with his new team mates. Perhaps they don’t feel as comfortable with him as the constant joker/focal point of the group as Tranmere were?
I also feel that he is unhappy here. Possibly due to the non-acceptance from above. He seems to be very self-obsessed, vain and insecure. His move to ITFC enabled him financially to ‘put right’ his hair and teeth and also enjoy the trappings of professional football players... flash motors, nice gaff and lots of small dogs.
All of these factors could be reasons for taking his eye off the ball when in the squad and perhaps not fully focusing on rehab too. |  |

Id agree no player should expect to be picked, but alot round here then complain Lambert telling players to impress in training is part of the rotation and picking problem and we should just pick the best team on paper regardless of form/niggles.
but you say Norwood not being fit is to be expected, how so ? we were expecting him to be available again in April following his operation, before the season ended had things not then gone crazy in the world since March.
so he's had at least 4months extra of rehab & not playing a competitive match, so the injury should be fine by now else theyd have been probably putting him back under the knife to fix it again by now, so wth has he actually been doing in the rest of that time if he is still not fit to play football now ? | | | |

Sounds like a fitness issue to me and not working hard enough to get himself back into prime shape. | | | |

TRanmere build the team around him and played a style to get him to score.
The previous season in the national league, they had Andy Cook as well, and Cook was the better striker (more goals) and was the focal point and Norwood was pushed wide more. Still did a decent job but that is in a league 2 below ours.
I don't think he is going to get the focal point role here unless we sell Jackson and don't bring anyone else in, which would be mad!
Something definitely seems up. Hes clearly not fit (is that his doing i don't know) and maybe he/us wants out. Maybe he wants to go to Dundee but their offer is not great. I can't believe we would be willing to let him go on loan unless most if not all the wages are going to be paid. | | | |

In fairness to Norwood he's had a pretty heavy bantz workload of late. Smashing the socials isn't a part-time pursuit. |  |

Your second paragraph is spot on. It's normally around an 8 week recovery process from that operation so he should have come back to pre-season raring to go. He didn't. | | | |

I have to say, that’s some physiological assessment you’ve made there. Judging by that you are not a fan, but his personal therapist.
I hope Lambert is just laying down the challenge, I think he’s too important for leading the line for us this year. | |

Not a fan yet as haven’t seen enough to warrant it. I hope he does do well for us.
PS- I was on an OU Psychology DHE but dropped out after Stage1 as found it to be incredibly boring, so my speculative assumptions are based solely on unqualified perception. | |

Expected in the sense that he has not got back to full time training.
No idea how long it takes to recover from a groin injury but would imagine it will vary according to the extent of the injury and how well a person heals. Was KVY not out since October with a groin problem too? | | | |

May be, maybe not. We simply do not know how long it takes to recover from his injury. | | | |

I'm surprised he isn't in and around the first team
Were we just a bit desperate when picking him last season, there's obviously massive potential there but it may take a bit longer if he's still seen as more of a reserve team player? | |

KVY had the same injury, was he back in 8 weeks? I didn't see anyone criticising him when he had a lot longer out than expected. How many times have we had players out for a lot longer than expected, are we not also being sued for substandard treatment of injuries? Im not sure why Norwood is getting hammered for not recovering as quickly as expected when we've seen it happen all too often at itfc. | | | |

KVY had to have two separate operations.
The club themselves said they expected Norwood back in April. It is now August, 4 months later. Norwood is probably getting hammered because he didn't look after himself over the lockdown period. | | | |

How do we know whether or not he has looked after himself? I've only seen people with 0% inside knowledge speculating he's not looked after himself. It may just be that the injury has not been sorted as quickly as expected. | | | |

How do you know who has/doesn't have inside knowledge? There is much tosh posted on here no doubt but there are many people who do have genuine insight and the theme is similar.
It doesn't take an awful lot of reading between the lines of Lambert's comments to conclude all is not completely rosey. | | | |
