I think that's a fair assessment, but I boggle at some of the other assessments above I have to say. Norburn does look lacking in confidence and is frustrating me also with a general urge to turn back towards our goal at the moment when the players in front of him are looking good options, but he's clearly a very capable footballer. When he arrived he looked like he had more time on the ball than those around him and bossed things, then he got injured and hasn't been playing as well since. To read he shouldn't be a pro footballer is just bizarre.
I also can't understand those slipping in the boot for Jimmy Husband, (don't they realise this thread is intended for sticking it to Norburn??). Hubby was brilliant first half of the season, and while not as good attack wise as the moment, he's consistent and reliable and I'd pick him all day long. I ask no one to agree with that assessment, but to read, bet his pass completion isn't above 5%, is a bit odd I think (FYI I had a look, his pass completion is 73.49%, which is top 5% in L1).
When he, or the other defenders lump it aimlessly forward, it's not cos they're useless, it's because as a team we've worked ourselves in a position where it's the only option left, and good players know losing the ball in the opposition half is preferable to losing it in ours. For me, that's a coaching problem.
