The Norwood Effect

[SwissBlade]

Norwood Corner, Egan goal.

If we can get more goals from set pieces Norwood will be a huge asset

 

[Bladebri]

We have been lacking in that department, here’s hoping for better times. UTB

 

[YES Blade]

Absolute class player! I don’t know what we paid for him but it was a bargain!

Kinell Swiss, you're up there today mate!

 

[Bladesman]

Scoring from corners, its been a while.

 

[Cappy]

His passing and composure are premier league quality. He could make a real difference for us this season.

What's his injury history like?

I can't get used to being excited when we get a corner. Just feels wrong haha

By our standards it was a decade's milk bill

 

[FTPE]

If Coutts is a Rolls Royce then Norwood is a Benley.

He will be a huge asset regardless of goals from setpieces. Dictates the pace of the game, not many at this level can do that.

 

[Sheffsteel]

We’ve really missed Coutts.
Norwood plays a very similiar game, always shows for the ball, always looks calm, makes passing look easy.
Yes I’m impressed.

 

[blademark]

IF, and it's not a given, Coutts ever gets back to his best, the potential of our midfield 3 is truly mouth watering. I hope the 3 can play together as that's not a given either.

Norwood is a step up from Coutts, easily as good on the ball and at passing, but far better defensively and with set pieces.

Norwood Corner, Egan goal.

He's already a huge asset

 

[dc_blade]

That fizzing low pass he hits to Stevens with loads of spin on it is something to see. Lovely player to watch, and as others have said his defensive contribution is first rate too.

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

Very impressive today. A real class act

The FA wouldn't allow it.

We'd finish off with 90% possesion.

 

[Houston_Blade]

He’s shit at penalties though.

If Coutts is a Rolls Royce then Norwood is a Benley.

If Coutts is a Rolls Royce, Norwood is a Bentley. Makes himself available, great vision, great passes.

Great minds...

 

[zablade]

Whisper it quietly.. on that showing he’s better than Coutts.

 

[KoppedOff]

Dont think he put a foot wrong. If he’s playing like that after being here less than a week, wait until he actually gets to know the rest of them and vice versa.

Not only is he slathered in quality, but he’s oozing it from every oriface.

 

[FTPE]

To be honest mate I actually think he's got more to his game than Coutts. It's only early so I won't get carried away but what a fantastic problem to have whan Paul is back. What a signing.

 

[PokerBlade]

Not only an outstanding performance but complements Fleck perfectly. I defended them a lot but Norwood showed just how lacking Evans and Lundstram have been.

 

[derfblade.3]

If Norwood is a Bently , then Leon Clark is a ......

 

[Seanshoreham]

Been waiting for a good corner-taker since Alan Woodward, well that man has arrived. The guys a class act

 

[Esablade]

He played very well, early days but it looks like we’ve found are man.

UTB!

 

[KoppedOff]

Another little bonus to having Norwood taking the corners is that Fleck is now able to lurk on the edge of the box waiting for any clearances, etc. He had a couple fall to him today; hopefully he’ll start smashing a few shots in.

Ok. Oily Norwood it is from now on.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

What a player. Looks very similar to Coutts.

He protected that back 3 very very well. One thing that jumped out at me was his leadership on the pitch, he was constantly shouting at the back 3 and brought out the best in Fleck.

Excellent piece of business.
