How many shoots did Reilly or Mensa have on target today ? Reilly should have got a penalty, and they were both involved in things, Mensa had a decent header that just lacked pace. no the header went wide, and came off his shoulder! Great effort ?

I watched the game on ifollow and he did well when he had the ball in front of him. the problem with Lines & Co, is they could not do that and resulted in lumping in the air to him.... Something I’ve noticed the last two years, some of the midfield (inc Linsey) can’t seem to put the ball in front of a player for them to run onto! Time and again last season the ball was behind or at them, so had to check or stop their run. I think Nichols could score 40 in a season, and some on here would say he’s sh** and want him out! Kid can’t do any right! We’ve not had a 20+ goal scorer since Taylor, yet we lorded Gaffers and Harrison as they try hard, Nichols does it and he’s sh**! The double standards on here by some absolute belters is unbelievable. And as for some on Twitter! f**k me! Just get off social media! Let’s try and get behind the team and players, it’s only game 1, 90% or didn’t expect a win today anyway! Rant over! Carry on! Your first sentence is a good point. There were a few games last season, I seem to remember Wimbledon away especially where it was all too safe. Everything was played behind or to the feet of the attackers rather than taking risks and trying to get us in behind.

He is someone capable of slidding a cutesy ball in behind. But that didn’t work. We’re not that far off. Let’s see what rabbits are in the hats and go.

Ok, so it would have been better to use his head, but it was closer than anything Nicholls did, plus he had a decent effort that went over.

But when he tries it and it doesn't work hes accused of playing the Hollywood pass. Can't win.

Nichols did all he could based on the fact he was having to deal with high balls being lumped in the air by the very average defence. On paper, the midfield look good enough to send the creative passes towards TN, but if the defenders are bypassing them, it's never going to happen.

But play Sercs in his rightful position and I think you would see a few more defence splitting passes. Nichols tries hard I agree but its vanity. He ends up out fought or on his arse most of the time. Gaffney and Ellis would try hard, but run the channels well, bring others into play, not get shoved off the ball quite so easily, win some headers, oh and score a goal or 2. Tell me what of the above does TN do? All i see is TN gets possession, TN gets tap, TN falls over. TN through on goal, TN hits it at the keeper.
