Nearly a good last touch
Nearly a good final pass
Nearly a good cross
Nearly a good shot
Nearly a goal
Nearly a great player......

He’s a very good player for this division. It’s not quite coming off for him like it is for Evans but he’s an asset for us for sure.
Always a fan of wingers that drive at the fullbacks, and try and cut inside.

He's a real asset for us - would walk into most sides in the league.

I'd agree, always dribbles with purpose and there is a sense something could happen. Definitely a keeper (no not the position lol)

Would get in any team in this league frustrating at times, but the big wembley pitch will suit him.😂🏴☠️⚽️

I get what op is saying. He's a good player but could be so much more if his end product was better.

Nearly a great one on one with the keeper Nearly a good last touch Nearly a good final pass Nearly a good cross Nearly a good shot Nearly a goal Nearly a great player...... Totally agree with you. He seems to do a lot but tonight nothing seemed to come off. Not always his fault but he was always involved when it seemed to go wrong. |

Nearly or not, he’s one of the first name on the team sheet.
What’s not reflected here is how often he loses the ball.
So much of our play goes through him and his control receiving the ball, and clever movement means we are almost guaranteed to get an attack if he gets it on the deck.
Underestimate Nicholson at your peril. Any opposition team are likely to say he’s our biggest pain in the arse.
He gives 90 minutes of dependability and regardless of his goals and assists, he’s one of the first name on the teamsheet. Note how much of the play is directed at him. He might not be the fans favourite but the team seem to know what an important player he is.

Didn't have much success tonight, but, by 'eck he put a shift in. He must have been knackered and well-bruised by the end of the game.

His skill on the ball is undoubted, what I really like about him is how hard he works off the ball, he closes down and presses really well. I’d love to know how far he runs during a game, I imagine he runs more than most.

Nearly a great one on one with the keeper Nearly a good last touch Nearly a good final pass Nearly a good cross Nearly a good shot Nearly a goal Nearly a great player...... Way to build a players confidence. You do realise they read the forums as well? For me he is a solid hard working player. I'd be happy with 4 or 5 of him in the team. |

If it clicks for him this season, that could really be the difference. Does more than his fair share and getting assists, but could be so much more with a little more luck and a little better decision making at times. Needs a goal.

One of the first names on the team sheet for me and our most exciting player to watch since Muzzy. Seeing him pick the ball up and drive at full backs is fantastic to see and some of his touches are glorious. We need to get promoted if we want to keep him in the squad as he will surely be turning heads in higher leagues.
Of course there are things he could improve on but what footballer doesn't? Especially at L1/L2 level.

Just on the winger subject - I would like to see us really work on our cutting back passing.
How many times do Nicholson, Thomas Anderson etc get in a great position - just need to lay it off and it’s a tap in?
Every single time our pass is straight to a defender and cleared out. We could score 4+ Per game if we could actually get a shot away

Strangely he was a stand out player last season amongst an uninspiring team but there again only started 22 games.
This season would expect a bit more from him as a lower division and we have other players who need to be watched by opposition.
There again last season 22 starts and 6 goals, this season 21 and 5, so maybe he is playing as well.
Lets hope he stays fit tis season to improve both stats.
