    To be fair, Dallas could easily hit 20 with the right service. Or he could turn out to be totally ****.

    We were still shell shocked from losing our entire defence! Feelings of deja vu!

    Basically the club board pretend to listen but don't really long term. Lots of short term not thought through ideas that just fall by the wayside, then any decent ideas or decisions seem to be so poorly timed it's bizarre.
    As for selling Norwood at this stage (IF TRUE). Unless before the 1st match a 20 goal per season with similar strengths to Norwood arrives then it is 100% a backwards step. That player has to have that record at this level of above for me.

    The strengths that Norwood brings to the team are unique in our front line. Hence selling him is baffling to say the least.

    Shaw won't score many the 3 main striker will be Cole watters and dallas. You would hope 2 of them will get more than 11

    Last season was a bit of a freak for Cole I reckon. No way do I see him scoring anywhere near 16 goals again. Watters is capable but would benefit from some experience and physicality by his side (Norwood). Shaw won’t cut it, if he’d been any good Duff would have used him. Marsh, Jalo and Dyer are all way off regular men’s football at the top end (dare I say that) of L1. Plus the youngsters would all have benefited from Norwood’s advice and experience. Just barmy whichever way anyone tries to dress it up. He had a year left and wouldn’t have been on much anyway.

    Obviously the club have faith in dallas Cole and watters they will look abit stupid if they score less than Norwood did last season.

    Then why give him a new deal? Makes absolutely no sense. For me, either summat has gone off, or it’s gross incompetence. This majorly weakens us.

    I'm not sure, but as he has several league clubs after him I'm not sure how serious any interest from them would have been.

    I'd still rather play another season at a team in top end of league one than move.

    If he does well here he'd get another deal or a decent deal elsewhere.

    But again that is just my opinion

    Didn’t he get transfer listed a couple of times at Ipswich and have to train with the U23 for disciplinary reasons?
