Dave_Og Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Definitely an 'and that'... Reading in his Times obituary today that Mike Yarwood had a trial for us some time around 1967. He was a Stockport fan and became a director there. Edited September 11, 2023 by Dave_Og Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad team Buxton, their right winger Sam Osborne is probably quicker than Green, knows where the net is too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks to Dave. With the service he has had to date his return is commendable. In a decent team he would probably be into double figures by now. Fancy spending all that money on a top striker and then having no idea as to how to get the best out of him!! If I was Norwood I’d be absolutely pig sick how it’s turned out! I can’t imagine Frank being too happy either! Absolute shambles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Norwood I’d be absolutely pig sick how it’s turned out! I can’t imagine Frank being too happy either! Absolute shambles! Just blindly bang the ball into the opposition box and he'd score quite a few. Only Kitching consistently hits decent crosses but even he doesn't vary them enough. Bang a few low ones in now and then and trust Norwood's movement to get on the end of them. No one gets across the near post or moves towards the ball except Norwood.

Shrek Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just play him up front in a 2 with Nuttall. 2 wide men playing the ball into him, Nuttall creating space and occupying the other centre half. Almost like this worked once and then didn't get tried again....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whatever happens behind I'm absolutely convinced we should be starting Norwood and Nuttall up front. I can't believe we haven't gone back to that in the last few games. It's the only time I've seen Norwood look like he's linking up with anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, he hit the bar when he should have scored in one game, admitted in his Latics interview he should have scored a hatrick instead of one in another. That's just off the top of my head. Do I think he'd bang more in if he had the service? of course I do, but to say he's not had golden opportunities is false. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re never going to convert all your chances but he’s the only striker who remotely looks like scoring!!

I think Hull have made a couple of shrewd signings , Scott Twine being one, and have a stronger squad than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
