I think there will be bigger fish than Southend after Norwood. Was Powell watching Jennings ?
God, I hope Norwood stays. I'm trying to be positive, but realistically we're screwed without him!
Agree - it’s mid table at best without him. Which wouldn’t be a disaster I guess and not a shock if he does go sadly
There is no way we would be promoted without Norwood. It is not just his goals we would miss, but his all round game, which is phenomenal for this level. We have not got anybody else in the squad who has the same dynamism, or that can stretch teams in the way Nors does.I’d obviously prefer Norwood to stay, but don’t think we’re a one man team.

Actually, Sparky, as things stand we have a much smaller squad than a month ago. Two new players in Perkins and Miller, but four players leaving (George, Williams, DMH and Stockton). The news about McCullough and Gilmour is welcome but they don't add to the numbers. That means we are currently two short - in fact, three less while Tollitt is away.Will still need more signings. Gilmour was already with us and has been out of the side recently apart from Spurs.
Miller is a straight swap for Cole so apart from Perkins the squad numbers are the same albeit with a bit more quality perhaps.
Still hoping a decent wide player comes in. Plus a striker if big Marts rumours are true about Nors.
Agreed, but Stockton and George are now off the wage bill. One more player won't be paid a lot more than those two combined, unless it's a marquee player. So there would be virtually no change to the playing budget.I would guess Perkins and Miller are on much better wages than the likes of Williams and DMH.
Have you seen him play? Could be the next Gordon Banks for all I know!And BTW, who is to be the new reserve keeper? Surely not Bayleigh Passant.
