Output in context · Stockport County finished 3rd of 24 · an upper-table side
4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 44 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 8 goals and 11 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 89% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.44 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.5, Norwood carries the 62nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
