Ā Making your own luck like that is a really good sign.. I think Sutton is much more comfortable than Hobson in our usual 3 centre back system to be honest. The wider of the 3 CBās are asked to push out with the ball and Sutton is much more comfortable going forward than Hobson is. Suttonās exposure to RB has been widely discussed and often criticised but it has added that element of going forward and being comfortable doing so to his game. I think he has some way to go in terms of his actual defending compared to Hobson but iām so happy we got rid of Hogan so Will can get some game time.Ā 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted Saturday at 08:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:21 PM Fondop is the top scorer. You cannot argue with it, really. As much as Norwood is the 'star' player etc. he needs to prove his worth in my opinion. Also, in my opinion, Drummond is going to be on the scoresheet pretty soon..and probably more than Norwood. Ideally, I would prefer all our strikers firing them in, but who wouldn't? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Mikey's doing well at the moment and is indeed our top scorer abiet he's missed more than a couple of sitters. He gives his all every game and clearly loves playing for Oldham Norwood is struggling getting properly match fit and seems a miserable sod at times as we know. Ā However would I prefer a fully fit James Norwood over a fully fit Fondop...absolute no brainer course I would, and I suspect most sane fans would also. Ā We just need to get him fit and playing and he will score plenty... and he may even smile now and again. Mikey is a great impact sub but we are not going up unfortunately with him as our number 1 striker. Likelihood is he will get a red card soon anyway as that just Mikey! And how can anyone judge what our best forward combination is until we have seen them start together once or twice. Ā I do agree though Mikey starts at Sutton as he deserves the shirt at the moment and if he keeps scoring then that's ok with me Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncowl Posted Sunday at 08:53 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:53 AM He played wide last season against us. But has been deployed in the #10 role this season by MM.

Of the two though, I'd be inclined to give Norwood further opportunities and move Garner on (assuming he'd have options). Both will likely stay on though I suspect.

Norewgian Gunnar Posted Sunday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:32 PM Team played really well in first half. Second half was a bit ragged. Lundstrum and Drummond played well supporting Fondop and it was great to see Sutton having such a good game. Shame there was not a bigger crowd there to see it considering Halifax brought nearly 700 to add to the atmosphere.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might start getting the plaudits from supporters now and it's a glorious opportunity for him to cement a starting place in the team with Hobson out for a while. Heard far too many writing him off just because he played, and understandably struggled at times, out of position most of the last two seasons. You'd have the lad in the trenches with you, no question. Ā If he was better than he was he'd have been quickly hoovered up by a team in the top two divisions, like Vaughan and Tarkowski were. But a player that has the potential to grow with us, that is homegrown and leaves nothing behind on the pitch is exactly what you want as a lower league supporter. Really pleasing to hear MM wax lyrical about him following the match. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā They are doing OK at the moment in the League above, and might be looking for players they think can do a job in League One in terms of longer term planning - and a player scoring a few goals for a decent team in the NL isn't what they need.
