Every player scores when they return to their previous clubs. Don't they? Maybe DC will play him in the hope that will happen If I was D.C. I’d be looking to get rid ASAP I hope tn proves me wrong but I see nothing about his football or body language to suggest he will. Early season I did think he looked a player with a threat on goal, as the season has gone on he has looked worse and worse. Goals make a player and 3 or 4 early in the season and I think he would've come good. Who would take him now for anything like we paid? Personally hope we stick with him. I'm still disgusted at the treatment of Andy Williams in his second season by Trollope and Mr Burns and I hope DC is a better man manager.

When a players not scoring but his body language says he’s giving it all but it’s just not happening for him I tend to have a bit more patience as a supporter. I don’t feel that with Nichols. I’ve never shouted abuse at him at a game I support any player in the quarters because I want them to do well because if they do well it makes my weekend all the better. But I’ve got to say ,and this is what football club forums are or at least should be about , opinions on things we see first hand ( not rumours and guess work about behind the scenes stuff) Nichols hasn’t impressed me at all and doesn’t look like a player who wants it either. Posh got a good deal and they seem to from selling their players on a regular basis although from what I gather they paid a million quid for Luke James so they obviously got that one wrong.

You are right it's all about opinions and all should be respected. For me I suppose I saw him as the replacement for Luke James, well actually I've since wondered if he was brought on the assumption Bodin was going. I see so much more in him than Luke James and thought early season his close control cutting in from wide could replicate what Bodin did. Obviously now his confidence is shot but it comes down to management to get that going again, hence why I made the comparison with Andy Williams because frankly when Trollope and Mr Burns perceived they had an awkward player they shat themselves.

TN for a hatrick tomorrow then. If the tickets weren’t so expensive I’d put some money on it ... back on topic now

As I remember it Williams was having a nightmare week on week and needed to be dropped to take the pressure off as he was very young at the time and clearly feeling the pressure but Trollop stuck with him when he probably shouldn’t have. Could be wrong ? Long time ago now but I think DC has fine the right thing in dropping Nichols.

Just looked on their website - answer is that it's a cat A game (god knows why - not aware of any history and a long way from Bristol), so police are to blame to some extent for the added costs. Agree it's still steep though. It is pay on the day as well isn't it? Only going due to proximity to me. Have my 8 year old well drilled to say he's 7 to save me 7 quid! Ha ha I have an 8 year old and doing exactly the same! Careful though I think it's 'under 7' not 7....

Trouble is he’s very tall for his age so not sure we’ll get away with it. Then again I went to Ninian Park back in the late 80s / early 90s (?) and saw a bloke in his 30s get in cheap claiming to be under 16 (it was Cardiff v Blackpool on a Thursday evening weirdly and I was with a Blackpool supporting friend in the away end).

By the way, does anyone know what part of the ground we’re in? Behind the goal in the new stand like last season or on the side where away fans are often put? Also, is it pay at the turnstiles or buy a ticket first (like Northampton)?
