No but I think Hudson will be challenging for the No 1 spot, Norman doesn't look himself at the minute and was on his heels for the 2nd and 3rd goals yesterday. Hudson was the better of the two in pre season and looks like he wants it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannerisms for a start, Hudson has grown since last season in stature, good talker, he can play a bit as well, made some great saves pre season against the pub teams whereas Norman just hasn't looked the same. I was one of Norman's biggest fans and have defended relentlessly on here as some dont rate him but Hudson is pushing for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started out as a striker at Leeds, moved to centre back, then centre mid at City and finally "settled" at right back, according to Wiki. Take from that what you will, if signed, Unsy will probably put him between the sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, BP and I have no idea how long he has been playing in the RB position, possibly long enough to be competent and better than our current options, although that is not a hard task, given the inept display yesterday.

Le miserable1 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 If you watched the pre season friendliest you would have seen Hudson make some brilliant saves,was very vocal with his defence and his distribution was excellent.But what do I know I just talk shite.Norman on that display is about ten leagues above his level.Seems never to be ready for a shot from outside the box.

You're not talking shite, it's your opinion and I'm sure many others will agree with you. Goalkeepers can be prone to being caught out by the flight of the ball with a shot from distance but Norman seems to fall foul of it on a very regular basis.

Monty Burns Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Norman is dodgy from long distance, but lve got that as his only real flaw and something that is easily rectified so should have been addressed already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Not sure Norman can be blamed for any of the goals in all honesty, could he have done better? possibly, but they were hardly howlers. He's an average NL keeper, but if your midfield and defence back off as much as we did yesterday and invite the opposition to get within shooting range unchallenged and still don't pressure the ball once they are around the edge of the box you are asking for trouble regardless of who is in goal. Norman isn't our biggest issue by a long way, the tactics of backing off and the midfield in general is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, once that knowledge is out there, shooting at distance will be a strategy adopted by opponents. Mind you, if they didn't keep getting the opportunity presented in the first place...
