Can someone shed some light as to why the lively but unfortunately rather useless Olly Lee was preferred to Norburn yesterday? Still carrying an injury?

Even so, if he was fit enough to be on the bench, he was surely fit enough to play a portion, I didn't understand why on earth the manager thought, in a must win game, that playing a tall, slightly awkward CB in central midfield would be a better option than bringing Ollie on.

Some will dispute this, but in my view, Norburn is one of the best if not the best outfield player we have, I've never seen him perform poorly, quite underrated and he'd be (bar Luke) the first name on my team sheet. Hope he plays at Hartlepool next to Cox.

Norburn is a good player in my opinion, best played in a midfield three where he can turn and surge forward with support from the other two in the centre.

But if played in a centre midfield two then he loses out to Cox in my opinion.

Agreed I like him and for me he's a much better player than Lee who has been very average in his first two games.

I went to the development game and Norburn seemed fine. Didn't know what injury he was carrying but performed well. I cant understand why Sheridan bought in a new Cm when he go Reid back, cox, blizzard ok is injured norburn ok is injured and other midfielders. I think we need o Connor back

Another player that's had the ability coached out of him under Sheridan like many before him.
The quality of player the manager is bringing in is going from bad to worse so the sooner we replace Sheridan the better chance we have of promotion.

Can't see what all the Norburn love is about, pretty average player in my view. Lee was just sat in front of the CB's Saturday never a role that catches the eye so an easy target for criticism. We miss O'Connor and Hartley our bad run has coincided with Hartleys injury which resulted in O'Connor moving to CB and obviously a rehuffle in midfield. Get Hartley fit has to be the priority in my opinion.

Fair, all a matter of opinions but I personally think we look a far better and more creative team when Norburn is involved.

He also takes good corners, whips them in with pace, we've scored 3 goals direct from corners this season, Norburn has provided 2 of them despite Reid taking 4 times as many as Norburn.

I rate Norburn highly. Good tackler and can pick some quality passes.

Miles better than Young IMO.
