Straight forward Monty, 1 keeper, Gardner, Shelton, Norwood, and Reid. That's the bench. Lundstram starting for Gardner, Shelton can play right back if needs as Sutton can move to CB. Gardner covers midfield when Lundstram tires. Edited September 21, 2023 by disjointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally thought he had a good game on Tuesday, only bettered by Hobson and Sheron for me. Didn't see much of the wayward passing you're suggesting but then I'm happy to judge him in a team with decent shape and better players, he offers us something different in midfield and played well Tuesday, far better option than Shelton in my opinion and whilst we have limited options he's done enough to keep his place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrek Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 If he doesn't pick Norwood then for me he's not the man for the job. No time for being a nice guy. Pick your best pairing, thats Nuttall and Norwood. Willoughby didn't do anything to force his way in bar hard work, that's a minimum.

Stop talking shite will you, Nuttall and Norwood was dome to death in a run of 1 win in 9, Willoughby worked hard but there's more to his game than that and for me more importantly we need the one big one quick combination, it's nothing about being a nice guy. He will know Willoughby better than anyone on here, he will have scout report after scout report and probably watched him as much as anyone so I'm happy to back his judgement over yours, he shares my view that Willoughby is the best finisher at the club, this lad is a confidence player, he needs minutes in his favoured position and then you'll see the best of him, not sure if he will start Saturday but pretty sure it won't be Norwood/Nuttall neither.

Kurt worked hard. But if we want to fire up the league we need to get Norwood firing and scoring consistently imo. Norwood and Nuttall are different players also, Norwood works hard and is always looking to get in behind, similar to Kurt. The simple issue is, we have to many strikers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know how many games Norwood and Nuttall have played up top in a 442. Not many I'd wager. Aldershot was one for sure. Willoughby needs to force his way in. Reid came on a made himself a goal. Willoughby needs to look at that, hard work isn't amazing, it's a bare minimum. Nuttall is best foil we have, i don't think even you are thick enough to think Norwood isn't the best goalscorer. Give them service and see the results.

I think Reid is an excellent impact sub, whether that’s enough for him I’m not sure but I think he could wreak havoc on a tired defence 60 minutes into a game. Like Thompson said they all bring something different to the table. Willoughby looked ok on Tuesday but there’s clearly more to him. If he can score 30 goals in the league below he can get 20 in this one given the chance. Nuttall looked good on Tuesday too, actually using his considerable size for once to keep the ball to good effect. Only thing that worries me with Nuttall and Norwood combination is the lack of pace . All that said 5 five strikers is a nice “problem “ to have rather than not enough . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he came on against Dorking that was the only time I thought we might create something . He’s very strong physically too and I’ve never seen him outmuscled . He’s not the answer to our problems as an individual but I don’t think any of them are. Kept happy and used wisely they could all be an asset although I doubt we will keep them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake news on Willoughby and 30 goals. He scored 20 goals. 7 the season before. 27 goals in over 80 games in a part time league.

Norwood might not be quick but his nous playing with the real Joe Nuttall is explosive. especially surrounded by the real Green, Dickenson, Kitch, Gardner etc gives me a twinge mnd you so does Willoughby Nowood Reid this was how l was supposed to feel nine matches ago!

To be fair I didn’t actually check his stats but regardless, i don’t think anyone’s going OTT, a fair few clubs were interested in him, enough people in the know see something in him, I see it for what it’s worth. 20 goals from 7 the previous season is progress isn’t it. Part time league or not. Those part timers from Dorking haven’t done too bad since they arrived in the NL. I’m not comparing him to Norwood, but he was a big part of the team effort that got us our win on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
