I'd call hitting the post in 3 games but not scoring a bit unlucky? I thought he looked OK yesterday and good to see DC took my advice this week and brought Nichols on to run at a tiring defence rather than start him!! Coming on fresh against a tired 10 men? Yeah, that's some serious bad luck he's got. I felt he was fantastic when he came on yesterday. As a sub, did great. There is certainly more to come but i fancy your negativity to look silly come may.

Nichols is crap. The weakest striker I have seen for a long time. If you are a weak player you have to be quick and he most certainly isn't. You said Taylor was crap and he averaged better than a goal every other game so you know nothing Mr T bone. Even your weather reports are wrong. And crap

The best thing we could do for Tom Nichols is forget that Luke James ever happened. There are plenty of strikers in our recent past (M.Taylor 1 goal in 13, R.Lambert 1 goal in 21, J.Roberts 1 goal in 17) who got off to slow starts in terms of goals scored and then the floodgates began to open. Nichols looks a tidy footballer, has been a bit unlucky and has proven he can score goals in this league so he is far from a lost cause.

LJ had this bad habit of falling over whenever one of the opposition got close especially when 1 on 1.
Nichols on the other hand seems to have much better balance, movement and strength as well as being more likely to get a decent shot away.
I'm sure it won't be long till he finds the back of the net as whenever he plays he seems to get himself into good potential goal scoring positions.
I think playing him as a sub for a few games might do the trick as this will take a little pressure off him. As BB said, he might be trying too hard.
One things for sure if he wins a pen then I hope he doesn't take it, if he misses it or it is saved by the keeper it might well finish him off like it did for LJ!

In hindsight maybe D.C. should have had him on the bench from the start . Let him build up to being a first choice starter.

He started on the bench v Charlton replacing the injured J Clarke early on when he went off injured..
