Is there any chance whatsoever that he could play in the middle of a back three like Coady did for Wolves or am I clutching at straws?
Have more or less given up trying to understand the finer details of football tactics but given that he seems to be struggling without LOB around, I don’t know what type of player he is or can be for us with the squad as it is at the moment.
He struggled yesterday but did seem to receive the ball in some really difficult positions facing his own goal that made life harder than it needed to be for him.
Any chance or am I living in cloud cuckoo land?
p.s. I liked Wayne Burnett and Lee Makel so have a soft spot for passing midfielders. Never took to Norwood though.

He’s having a bit of a blip at the moment as any young kid would. I think you’re spot on about middle of a back three. He lacks the pace for how we want and need a midfield to do but he is calm on the ball and I think would be made for that coady type role, who himself didn’t pull up trees in midfield. |

Still believe John has a medical issue that isnt sorting itself quickly. I know he isnt quick and that he is a big lad carrying some weight but his actual stamina seems to have gone downhill, a lot. Lets see if the club and him can sort it, there is an important player for us there. The entire team is blowing out of their arses after 60 minutes. Fitness is shocking compared to last season |

Really useful off the bench or in a strong midfield three. Doesn't fit our situation at all other than from the bench. |

Had similar thoughts yesterday, maybe as a sweeper in a back 3, him in a midfield 2 is not going to work. |

I don’t think he’s mobile enough for the middle of the park and I do think he ball watches a lot. Funnily enough I thought exactly the same about Coady and as much as I can’t stand the lad, he’s turned out ok as a centre half. |

He played half a season last term and we lost only 2 League Games, I believe. He clearly misses Toffolo and OBrien around him. Yesterday we had him with 20/25 Championship games at this level,Rudoni less than 5, Anjorin about 12 (if you include sub), Ruffels probably less than 10 starts at this level, the japanese guy yet we got a well earned point against one of the most experienced, quality teams in the division. Oh and a defense without Pearson, Lees & Colwill and no Hogg. Our league position doesn't look good, I agree but lets get behind these guys!

We get behind the players during the games, pointing out obvious flaws on here is not anti Town. I know that some could be more positive but in spite of the score (2-2) we were poor and the stats point this out. Lets hope we make the signings we are hearing about because without an improvement in the first 11 I see a long hard road ahead for us. |

They couldnt chase after 60 odd minutes, hence the yellow cards.. Agreed Russell and Anjorim really need som sessions but overall we lasted better. |

Dont know about fitter than them, but on a warn day when WBA had an awful lot of possession that had us chasing around a lot, I thought we stood up well in terms of fitness. Tino does tire badly though after an hour, or at least seems to. He looks knackered from the off somehow but its just his style of running. On Russell I thought he put in a pretty decent shift by his standards, certainly way more than the last time I saw him. Some neat touches but I think he's just a lad who's having a big dip in form. Same as Thomas. Think if Jones and Hogg had been fit, neither Thomas or Russell would have started. |

Personally speaking, I don’t like Coady because I never had an Action Man although I had a Bionic Man and an Evil Knievel. True fact. |

Hopefully he'll get a real boost from that. He's been sub-par this season, but I really do think that's because he's unsuited to the system and the players around him. In the right team he'll get back to his best.

Being rubbish and chasing games is mentally and physically draining. if you’re winning you can play all day. |

Hopefully for his sake theyve fixed some of the issues that Rolando Aaron’s had to deal with.
Sounded like a rubbish Sunday league team in terms of organisation.

Fitness is shocking compared to last season We had half the pre season of everybody else Finished 3/4 weeks later, season earlier starting July etc = short pre season. Always going to be a difficult balance but I thought Carlos brought the players back too late - but then we know he was more focussed on his Greek villa than us! As Schofield said we were at least 2 pre season games lighter than we needed International break cannot come quickly enough |

I do t think we were responsible for the multiple soft tissue injuries Aaron’s had before joining us…bigger qu is why we ever signed him knowing his history |

But none of that is anything to do with Rolando’s experience with the Jamaican squad, and the hope for Russell’s sake that they’ve done some big learning. |
