Nichols must have a clause in his contract that says 'if fit, he plays'. It's quite possible seeing how hard DC worked to sign him. Did you actually watch the match? I can't see anyone who did can criticise Nichols on his performance today, particularly given there's no better option upfront at the moment. So Nichols wasn't actually totally sh** today. He still wasnt very good. Ran around a lot but caused ZERO problems. Again. |

I'm sure he's more aware/concerned of his drought than all of us. The fact that he still puts in a shift for the shirt when called upon should be commended, not slated. No, He shouldn't be starting, we need goalscorers. But if nobody else is scoring goals I'd rather have the guy that will sweat and bleed for the cause. |

I think there is an argument that he is technically a good player - but as he is paid and played as a striker he is singularly failing to deliver. Perhaps he needs to convert to some sort of playmaker just behind the forwards? I'm not sure I agree there is no better option up front - no-one else has really been given a run in the side to prove one way or the other. |

We need Nichols to do his cruciate That's too harsh. We should never be wishing a potential career ending injury on one of our own players. Maybe TN should find God. That way stealing a living would be against his religion and he would have to quit |

He ran a lot and worked hard and that's great. But surely that's a minimum for every player? |

Yeah. I get he's lacking confidence, what striker wouldn't given his scoring record. Thing is, all strikers have a bad patch but it's the good ones that deal with the confidence issue and work their way back in to the team and start scoring. He's consistently being given chances and not taking them. You name me one other striker in league football with that record.

Nicholls puts more into the game than Payney-boy and Jackthelad put together. At least Nicholls can play a bit too.

I'm going to write to DC and tell him that I'll run about a bit to little effect but I'll do it for half the money Nichols is on and I'll do a better job. |

I think some of our players have got no-win bonuses written into their contracts!

I’ve always stood by DC, but why the f**k would you play two strikers, and not play any wingers?? The second half was loads better because of this. So I’m now starting to question his tactics big time. We are so short of a game changer, it’s becoming hard to watch

His build up play was great he looked determined but didn’t score from three great chances. I’d give him an 8 out of ten in everything but scoring and a zero for that. That’s the thing with him it doesn’t seem to make any difference if he plays well or not he still doesn’t score. What we’d give for one of those strikers who does nothing for 89 minutes but bangs one in every other game right now. |

He’s scored 36 goals in 340 games in the football league across his career, yet he’s never played below league two. Always baffled me that he gets club after club with that record. |

This team with any one of Taylor, Lambert, Hayles, Roberts, Stewart etc would be fine. Goalscorers are priceless and therefore very hard to find. They're even harder to find in January, but find one we must because without one we are in big danger of the drop. |

If I thought we had more than one fan who wished career threatening injuries on anyone wearing a Rovers shirt I'd say we deserve relegation.

Another clean sheet today and generally if the home side keeps a clean sheet they pick up three points. Not us this season. Very worrying. |
