All the same type players. Sheron first name in midfield for me. Offers a lot more than other in 90% of matches. You won't ever see him pull out of a tackle and he's not afraid to come get the ball, he won't ever hide away. All those that think he's absolutely shite, ask yourselves why his fellow players voted him player of the season last year. Do you reckon it's because they think he's shit and gives the ball away too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The ref was shocking. The Garner booking was a joke when you look at the fouls he never carded. And the shove on Norwood at the end was clear as day. We should have had a chance to win it there. No idea about their pen as someone must have kicked the plug out for 10 minutes. For balance, I also thought Gardner looked a mile offside for his goal but not seen anyone else say that so maybe just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really should lead by example on these occasions and it's disappointing taking the gloss off the performance, I just find it hard to warm to a player who clearly doesn't want to be here or at least gives that impression at times. Had an important appointment at 3:30, accordingto his twitter. Doesn't want to be considered again, if it's being suggested he can't be arsed.. Stats can't be disputed and a talented player, but something has never sat right about him here. Wouldn't be surprised - or too disappointed - if both parties agree a parting of ways in the summer...

Considering he has 17 goals in the league this season and our next best is Fondop with 7, I would be. He’s on his way to 20 goals and been injured for 6 weeks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's guaranteed to get 20 again next season, then fine. Hopefully we'll get as many penalties (which do count, blah blah blah - but must professional players should score most of the penalties they take..). As I say, something has never sat right.

Some people see it, some people don't.. Your last part is implying that those that don’t have a problem with him are wrong. I genuinely don’t care what he does when off the football pitch. As long as he scores important goals for us, I couldn’t care less. Does he celebrate, get on with his team mates, do post match interviews. Maybe not. Does he score consistently for us, yeah absolutely. Crack on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Branston Pickle Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Absolutely mad that some fans wouldn't be bothered about losing a player of his calibre because of some perceived... I don't know what?

He's got to play the game a little bit though - even if he couldn't give a shit about collecting the award and he did have an important appointment. "It's not a case of "not being arsed", I had an important appointment to attend, so apologies to those concerned" sounds better than "Don't bother picking me for man of the match in future, if that's going to be your take".

nzlatic Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 This is why we can’t have nice things. Almost since he arrived Norwood has had digs from the fans about such silly things like not smiling or not changing his Twitter picture. Or even that he doesn’t put enough effort in?! Hes a consistent scorer and a big game player. He’s playing lower than he should be. He might cut a frustrated figure but I don’t blame him, we’re not performing as we should often enough. I know who I’d want in the team in a play off final or if we’re trying to win the league next season. I like Fondop, don’t get me wrong I think he’s an important squad member, but what is his hero status based on? He rarely scores against the better teams. It looks like it’s because of the effort he puts in but also mainly because he’s great at geeing up the fans with fist bump celebrations. Norwood is a nasty bastard but he’s a winner and we need more of that attitude. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have different characters. If it’s a personal issue, people react irrationally. From his perspective, he’s given everything to win us a game against top of the league, he was unplayable at times. People are then questioning his character less than an hour after the match. That’s before the whole not celebrating, Twitter picture ect. Is it how I would react, probably not. But we arnt all the same and he’s clearly an emotional bloke.
