doctor evil

If that's the only way to improve the rest of the squad then it's probably a sacrifice we have to make, but given he came in late in the day, I'm not sure that's the case....

It's a shame we can't get proper xg stats for our strikers from say the start of the year, would be interesting to see how big a drop of Norwood has had.

It would be impressive if we managed it

It was fairly late on in the window wasn't it

I wouldn't say build a team around him, but if we start next season without him I can guarantee we'll have a worse striker upfront...

Salford perhaps, Tranmere, Bradford. I reckon a fair few league 2 teams would be interested. For what it's worth I think binning off our best player because he's pissed off that we're shit might not be the best idea. Instead id try to look at making us not shit by getting rid of the terrible players (and possibly the man in charge)....

Not very good though is he.

When you have no control whatsoever in the game, eventually things like that happen....

Do we have anybody that can play at RB instead of Sutton? Where's shelts at?

In a better league position in the NLN maybe....

He's not going to sprint around all game, he was poor today no question. But he's still the best player in this squad by a mile and if the others have to make up for that then they should....

It's where you impact the play, if you come from an offside position but impact the play in your own half that's where the free kick should be.

I did say fondop was due a red card the other week. For what it's worth I don't think it was one.

Someone to hoof it at I guess

It took us going 3 down before we actually tried to string a few passes together. Constantly hoofing it to Norwood and Garner is a ridiculous thing to do, especially when the midfield aren't getting forward to support them. It's too easy for the opposition and it puts you on the back foot early on. With the exception of Sheron, all the midfield are at their best with the ball at their feet, so why ping it forward bypassing them all game. That's the gameplan, that's what they've been told to do, and it's bewildering because we're not set up to do it at all. That's why we've been battered here first half. Norwood & Garner are deep in the oppo half scrapping for knock-downs and the midfield is completely stretched either trying without success to get up to the forwards or trying to cover half the pitch. It's so easy to play through, beat one man (and we're not exactly robust in a challenge) and you're running at the defenders.
