I'm sure Tom Nichols deliberately missed any chances he had before. Yes - and I’m also sure that Ed Upson came into a very settled and harmonious squad and coaching set up. If you think upson and nichols have been good players for the club that's up to you but i think they have been dreadful.

Well a really cynical person might wonder why tom nichols and ed upson are showing good form in what is most likely to be the final year of their contract. I believe both players have been very very poor but they look better so far this season. Wow ! yes you are cynical.

However this season they've really picked up. You do have to wonder if it's because they're both in the last season of their contract though?

I'm sure Tom Nichols deliberately missed any chances he had before. He hardly ever had chances before though,never went near the box. He's been playing well though before this season though just not scored as many as his little spell lately.

Why stop at them 2, Serc's has been total rubbish the last 18 months after he signed a new contract

And if you think that Nichols' poor goal record is down to effort then that's up to you but i'd suggest you haven't been paying attention.
Even his worst critic would surely admit that he's a trier.

Not sure a striker can just start scoring goals based on when his contract is coming to an end, pretty impressive by TN if that is the case! Byron Moore did, although he was a winger. But I think they can, its not specifically about the finishing ability - more about the positioning and effort put in. Otherwise how can a midfielder suddenly pass a ball when his contract is out? How is he always in space?

Moore's spent all the time since he left us playing Div 2 football, I'd have thought that proves DC was right to release him. Moore only seemed interested when his contract was ending, couldnt be arsed the rest of the time. L2 standard at best. Or was he better on the right hand side? He looked far better playing there when Bodin was injured/left than his usual position for us of the left side.

Perhaps it's down to the coaching during pre-season giving certain players more confidence etc, I just can't see TN's gone from being a terrible goalscorer to a good finisher just because his contracts up in next summer. I guess if that is the case we won't be complaining next May when he's scored 20 goals! We will, we'll be moaning he's leaving on a free.

I do not agree with that,he had a good spell at the start of coughlan's time as manager but was back to normal well before the end of the season.

Well if you run about a bit and dont get brushed off the ball,not to mention you get into the penalty area you might get some goals.

I was playing devils advocate a little after "lasminutewinners" comment about byron moore. But it does sometimes make you wonder and human nature can also come into play. Thing is 2 terrible signings have suddenly started turning up for games.

I reckon we'll offer him another 3 years, and it'll be back to business as usual...!

Nichols agree with, but Upson showed a big improvement in his form when GC took over. probably, gone up a notch though this season. Let's be happy that they are improving and getting some goals, eh !
