Wouldn’t- it was a direct quote in the Barnsley press after fans were dismayed why the club were letting him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Reid or Nuttall got 17 everyone would be saying they had had a really good season. But he isn’t Reid or Nuttall. They’ve never been as prolific. If signed out of contract and on the slide I think that would be a fair return. He came after scoring 12 in league one and with a year left on his contract. I thought we’d be getting a prolific beast at this level. We’ve ended up a player who for whatever reason has been hit and miss. I’ll try to judge him differently moving forward - as in, a very useful squad player but not the main man. But like I have said so many times, Norwood needs chances created for him. Whether you agree with it or not, Norwood doesn’t create his own chances. He will more than likely score chances that fall to him, naturally he will miss his fair share, like any player will.

His finishing is generally very good. Are you saying/thinking he’s a Lineker fox in the box type? Do you think he should just occupy the box and nothing else? At his best, I see him as a better footballer than that. Rather than just a finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you don’t like people taking bollocks. . What have I made up? People don't like him because he doesn't smile enough. The armchair psychologists then get forensic on him. Then the bullshit rumours about his off field behaviour start. It's been a cycle for about 8 months now Be critical of his performances by all means but the "why he no celebrate" stuff is fucking daft Edited Tuesday at 01:40 PM by Guy Branston Pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than just a finisher. I don’t think he’s particularly great with his back to goal to be honest. He often holds it up and his lay off / pass lets him down. He’s at his best when he’s in the box to finishing off chances created for him. Penalties aside, look at all his goals, it’s the same type of finish. Unless he is 1 v 1, which he is very strong at and I’d back him to score. The issue is, people thought we were getting a Paul Mullin type. He’s a very different striker and creates opportunities for himself and will score a worldly. We got the opposite. Create chances for Norwood and he will score more often than not. We also need to accept he’s hasn’t had a pre season and that at his age, is a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most speculation surrounds the length of contract given Norwood's age and his driving ban, oldham being a lot closer. Whatever the reason, he's here whether he likes it or not.

This isn’t aimed at you. Some find it boring. Others don’t. Taking the time to come on a message board to post your frustration on something you find really boring is very odd. Much more strange than talking at length about something you’re interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, when you get annoyed because you disagree it’s because you care about getting your point across.

Littlemoor Lad Posted Tuesday at 03:48 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:48 PM It wouldn't do for us all to be the same I much prefer folk to say it how it really is than have good honest debate shut down. Criticism comes in very different forms, some player's have received dogs abuse on here, I don't think that's been the case with the main man, who for some reason seems beyond it in some folks eyes. We will continue to monitor his progress and hope we can keep this wonderful winning run going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
