There was a moment where Alty players surrounded the ref after they got given a free kick but ref did nothing so I thought they'd relaxed that rule. It was completely opposite to how Kitching was dealt with against York (I think). He got a yellow for a borderline red challenge but had previously been warned by the ref via his captain to stfu ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have an attitude with the lack of service he is getting. It’s utterly ridiculous a section of the fan base, are trying to oust a lad who’s got pedigree in this league, our top scorer and purely because he doesn’t run around a lot or smile loads.

I think he's an asset when things are going well, but I wouldn't want him beside me in the trenches... We're phased by his previous record. We didn't create much today, apart from two really good chances that fell to our golden boy... which he missed. I think he thinks he's made a mistake coming here and he thinks goals would be laid on a plate for him. Probably our most talented player but useless in a team on a different wavelength. No hunger.

Yep, I hear what you're saying and I'm not arguing with the stats. In a good team, he's probably the best finisher at the club (I say probably... any other player misses the two chances he missed yesterday and they get absolute pelters... unfortunately his previous reputation is of jack shit value to us now), but we're not a good team and we need someone who can do more than "just" finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would rather Fondop hold the ball up but not score half as many? I don’t get the logic in that. Norwood needs better quality next to him. Starting Reid for a few games like he has done Nuttall for me. His goals from previous clubs shows give him a run and he will score. Additions sadly needed all over. This new model of recruitment hasn’t worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additions sadly needed all over. This new model of recruitment hasn’t worked. I’m in the middle with Norwood. He’d be in my team every week as he’s better than the other strikers we have, and if we created more chances he’d score more goals. But he has to do more. I don’t get the ‘he’s our leading scorer’ argument in his defence either. The main striker should always be the top scorer, especially as he starts pretty much every game. Seven goals is nothing spectacular anyway. Look at the leading goalscorers list in our division, and there’s plenty on more than him playing for lesser teams. We need to find a way to get the best out of Norwood, but he also has to get the best out of us. I’m definitely in the Norwood in camp, but he must do better.

Give your head a wobble. Baffling. If you were at Newport yesterday… You would have seen an experienced striker put the ball wide of goal when he should have scored first half, hesitate and fail to get his shot away when through on goal second half. You would have seen a player on his heels for a lot of the game, often not challenging for the ball when played forward. There is no denying that he can score goals but yesterday was not his finest performance by a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
