    Norwood also scored the last minute equaliser at Chesterfield, the best team in the league by a country mile

    Cosgrove is a big lump. Tedic-esque (better than tedic tho)

    Just different kind of players

    Cosgrove is a good player but he's a 6 foot 3 targetman with limited pace and mobility

    Cosgrove is not very quick, good targetman, not quick

    For Cosgroves 3rd goal here you see a quick turn of pace from him to latch onto the ball, a great first touch and lovely finish to win it for them.



    From this video you see several of his goals which show good pace but also fantastic movement to get him into open space to actually have a shot and score multiple times, plus you see evidence of his aerial ability which nobody was questioning but is a lovely addition to our front line.

    I'm not sure where the notion that Norwood was quick is from, i'm also not sure where the notion that Norwood is quicker or more agile than Cosgrove is from either.

    Is this the same FIFA that has Luca Connells interceptions and defensive awareness at 49 and 44? Worse than Benson, Cotter, Oduor and even Sraha?

    I think that proves how far FIFA stats go on debates like this.

    Just how I see it, dont buy into the argument that Norwood wasnt a great player

    Still not sure what you're basing that on because i can guarantee you haven't watched Cosgrove in that many games and you've never seen Cosgrove running alongside Norwood.

    Norwood is currently struggling to get into a national league side. He might've been good for us last season but i believe Cosgrove is an upgrade for us and certainly adding a needed different dimension to our attack.

    He's not though is he

    Oldham Fans are obsessed with him

    And as we know, he makes a very big impact from the bench

    By the way

    Norwood is better

    Than Watters, Shaw and Dallas combined

    On the bench for the last two matches, scored 1 in his last 5 in a league two divisons below the league he was in last season paints a very different picture to the one you're portraying here i'm afraid.

    Also has as many yellow cards as goals so far this season which won't be helpful when he gets banned because of the accumulation.

    This is a conversation and a topic about Cosgrove so this is irrelevant even if true.

    Unfortunately highlighting another one of Norwoods problems with this post: his fitness and inability to play 90 minutes.

    Wembley: Came on after 74 minutes
    Derby: Subbed off
    Sheff Weds: Subbed off
    Plymouth: subbed off
    Portsmouth: subbed off

    I don't think another season on this will get better, father time is always unbeaten and slows us all down.
