True, I think we are entitled to have expected more from him though given his pedigree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Langstaff and Mullin got 42 and 39 respectively last season 20 would be a pretty disappointing return given his apparent pedigree.

Langstaff and Mullin were playing in far more formidable teams than the one Norwood is currently playing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 it's bizzaro AF that the club who loves to love somebody shit up front who tries hard and never stop running is finding it hard to appreciate a classy, unselfish old timer who runs his bollocks off for the club.

Reserve judgement on that, although I do think he’s probably had more (not many I know) opportunities to score than his current figure suggests. He’s not pacey and not a particularly big lad although other players ie Nuttall should be doing far more in the air than they are. But you can see his vision and the way he moves the ball about is generally a cut above the rest which frustrates him but I still think he could be scoring more.

Given the lack of creativity in our team I think he's done alright. He kind of reminds me of Luke Beckett in the sense that he needs the players around him to create the chances for him if we do start doing that his returns will increase. We need a dinner lady. I.e. someone who's going to put it on a plate for people. We have the strikers they cam all score we just need those who can get the ball to them.

Hemel latic Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Excellent listen as always and Aaron was an excellent fan guest, tbh they're all good but it's been nice hearing some new voices in recent weeks. Andy was talking about first and second interviews in respect of the recruitment process. Is that something you guys know is happening, or is it just an example of what would happen in a thorough process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 On 10/9/2023 at 1:42 PM, jsslatic said: Norwood at current rate would score 16 league goals this season (rounded up). By my reckoning that would be more than any Latics player since we were promoted to the top flight except for Hughes, Beckett and Porter. That doesn't detract from the fact we should be getting more out of him, but it does feel there's a bit of hyperbole about at the moment. Think McAleny got 17 in a season a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
