Unpopular opinion here, but I don’t think he’s been quite as good as others have made out on here. Maybe it’s rawness, maybe because his main run of games was alongside Mousinho who is ropey in defence, but I didn’t see a great player in there. Only an ordinary one.
If it is another player off our books, the scouting team best start working doubly hard. I’ll be very worried if we’re going to be relying on the even-more-ordinary Sam Long (if we decide to move Hanson around) to keep us up this season.
I know life is all about opinions and football doubly so but, if people think Hanson is better than Norman then, I just don’t know any more.
Big mistake letting him go in my opinion, clearly a pacy, athletic full back with bags of potential. Must have had a falling out as people have said as he was one of our best players when he was playing regularly for a while. Of course his form dipped, as did everyone elses, but I don’t remember him making mistake after mistake (simple ones as well) which led to goals, as Hanson has. Repeatedly. And he has no pace.
Says a lot to me that he’s gone to another L1 club rather than dropped down a league.
Get that wage bill down!

I think once you’ve had a fal out with KR there is no forgiveness. I noticed at Brentford when he came on Robinson berated him the whole time. Can’t do much for your confidence. I liked him but he was never given much of a chance. Good luck to him, I think he’ll prove to be one that got away.
And the other who is very very average at best.Should help pay the tax bill. So just the two right backs now - one of whom was bought to play in midfield.

Dear oh dear, nothing makes sense at the moment, and we still keep Sam Ucking Long, don’t get it whatsoever unless Tigers looking to sell the club quickly, it looks that way......
Fair enough, you don't think Sam Long is good enough but did you really need the expletive in there?
Long is okJust how me and majority of fans are feeling at the moment, poor decision making and it’s painful to see
Is KR trying to best Pep when it comes to the amount of failed signings they've made?
Obviously we don't know what was going on behind the scenes - it wouldn't surprise me if KR was a marmite manager with his playing staff. But I would be surprised if Norman had an attitude in general - would a player drop down so low in the pyramid, work hard and prove himself if they were a bit of a prima donna?
That all said though - what are the recruitment team doing? How has it gone from an average 75% hit rate under MApp to being less than 30% two years later?
