James Norwood

At least Jakey won’t feel so old now.

Depressing thought when you’re worried that a footballer that’s half your age might be past it.

Come on James, show them there’s life in those old legs!

Is that Nora or is David still playing?

Both about the same age as Norwood.

Our good friends on the dark side seem to think Cameron Green, Solihull left back is incoming.

A goal every 2.66 games at step 5 and below.

Scored the winner at Wembley for Tranmere in a 2-1 win over Boreham Wood in the NL Play Off Final (2017-18).

League Two Play Off Winner with Tranmere in 2018-19.

Scored for Oldham in a 3-2 win over Southend in the NL PO Final in 2024-25.

EFL League Two top scorer: 2018–19.

Age 36.

Only 18 appearances for Fleetwood last season, scoring 2 goals.

Have his legs gone?

Hopefully not.

[stats are league games only]

Also signing a left back from Souillhall, wherever that is.

Not the most pleasing aroma.

It has a whiff of Geoff Horsefield about it

No please no, as I recall Horsefield had one decent game ( his first ) then decided he wasn’t going to play anymore, very disappointing after the big build up to his arrival.

Nothing official on Norwood or Batty. Are the deals done? Do the club consider them too underwhelming to announce? A signing worthy of a fanfare would have been welcome.

Why go to the extra bother when there’ll be a team sheet coming out in a few hours.

Can’t be any worse? Go get Mick McCarthy.

Norwoods only played in 4 games since Xmas after ankle injury with only 66mins game time, not scored since August 2025.
Should be rested up well at least, and ready to get an hatfull big debut on the way.

Oh dear.

(that emoji where he’s got his / her head & hands on the desk in sheer frustration)

Not sure the new signings sponsor is getting value for money here.

And Hasn’t scored in 14 games.

I remember a game he played away at Southend and a ball came in the box for him to header and his legs had gone to such an extent he couldn’t even get into position to head the ball. It was at point blank range too.

AKA “THE TREE”

You remember the other spent striker we had on loan back in the day called Robert Taylor “Bob Taylor”  ?. He looked absolutely flogged. A proper carthorse. He ending up retiring the end of that very season.

Don’t forget Darius Henderson, WG. I remember a humiliating few misses from that carthorse.
