We have apparently signed a right winger,Oliver Norburn. Comes from the Leicester reserves I believe and is supposed to be a player for the future. Anyone know anything about the chap? Lets hope he comes on and scores the winner tomorrow I must say though I would rather we signed a defender or two!
Its not official http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10328~2460291,00.html Another good thing about this, is the apparent relationship with Leicester and them loaning us their up and coming players....
When they finally buy Maynard they can **** off if they try to loan that donkey to us If Oliver Norburn ever becomes a manager the supporters will become Olivers Army. But on a serious note, I understand the clamour for a defender but if the front boys kept the ball a little longer the pressure on defence would be less. I actually think we have enough cover for the back 4
he aint a winger though boys. he is a central midfielder. he likes playing the passing game and is good on the ball so hopefully this will help cut out the hoofball. as gill is back in training but still not right and campbell been playing 90mins a lot, buckle has said he needed another player in central midfield.
Hope so would be nice to see some passing on the ground for once but remember the players have to play the way Buckle wants and thats hoofball.
apparently not! buckle has told his players yesterday not to play the hoofball game. reading his interview sounds like he is blaming the players as they need time to gel so pressure in games creates this hoofball game! http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/LatestNews/0,,10328~2459317,00.html
Hopefully we don't try and sign that 'donkey' Maynard as it'd probably cost us about £12million. Hope he rots for the red side of Brizzle like you lot hope he does.
Norburn looked 'at home' on the ball this afternoon in the reserve game v Brentford. Definitely CM. Played 90 mins, tackled and distributed well. I'd put him ahead of Stanley and W Brown.
