says it all when a 'goal machine' comes to the Gas and can't score - moves on and scores at will.
Says more about the non-playing staff than the players - good luck Tom - he who laughs last etc

Goal machine scores again The most naturally gifted player we've ever had. 24 league 1 managers don't know what they're doing.

Also, don't know if you noticed but he left in January and sat on Cheltenham's bench in league 2 for 3 months. Psst ... he's still in league 2. His level.

Nichols had a chance under 3 different manager's. Confidence was the main thing with him, now he's started scoring he might come good. He looked a different player when younger at Exeter.

To be fair he was good for us just couldn’t score. He’s moved on and seems to be working out for him so I say good luck to the lad.

Looks like he has found his level and I am glad he is doing well. As others have said, he was given plenty of chances under three different managers with us. He couldn't do any worse than what we have now but he wouldn't do any better either.

Didn't justify his transfer fee but he did ok for us. Technically very good and tried hard just wasn't productive enough. I wish him well.

No doubt it’s Wael’s fault and has nothing to do with the fact Nichols had to drop down a division to find his level.

Shame he didn’t make it here. Anybody would have made the same decision to have moved him on. The club made the right call here it was never going to work out for him here.
If they did, then they’d have been a bit crazy. A bit like persisting with a manager with 2 wins in 25.

Good on him, I don't wish him any harm it just didn't work out with us, coupled with many hypnotised with the 'give it more time' cliché.
Hmmmmm...🤔

No doubt it’s Wael’s fault and has nothing to do with the fact Nichols had to drop down a division to find his level. Grow up Gassy To get the best out of a player, in whatever position, the backroom staff have to work with the players to agree on a system etc that suits the Club and the players. Tom is like many who have left this club and have done well elsewhere - just list the goals scored yesterday by players that have left recently.
FIVE - yes including Tom They couldn't make it here but well well well they have found the net elsewhere!!!! - Gosh, we could have done with those five goals yesterday! Is it really their fault? OR Could it possibly be our fault? Of course I don't lay all the blame on us, but I do think we do not know how to handle the strengths of the players we have and until we do - we will not succeed. I understand your need to have a go at me - but for once sit back and consider - maybe I have a point? After 70 years of support, I only want the best for our Club, who-ever is in charge, but I will never fail to state my case. Just like you! I want us to win - not lose by three clear goals as of yesterday.

It was all their fault was it - and we are perfect? Somehow, I do not agree.

I want us to win - not lose by three clear goals as of yesterday. And how many of them were at the level we're playing at? As you've gone and counted, I fully expect you to reply with their respective teams & divisions. We all know you won't though. It seems to me that we're still in L1 and those players who failed at this level, have started performing at the level below. So who made the right call? Sounds like both parties to me. They weren't good enough for this level and we moved on and are still in this division. If you look back at our coaching over the last few years, some of the strikers we've had are Harrison, Bodin, Taylor & JCH. Clearly they've done ok with us, but as soon as one player drops down a division and starts scoring at a lower standard, we clearly have a problem with the coaching. Yeah, because that's the key takeaway from that situation.

Tom Nichols couldn't score for us because he is incapable of playing in League one as evidenced by his entire career. DC's only fault was having too much faith in him which I believe brought about DC's end. I wish Tom no ill but I will never forgive him for that. He's a water poor striker in lg 1, the fact he's scored twice in lg 2 doesn't change that. If the others were playing in league one or above you might have a point but they're not. Rollin scored against ten men in a game they lost!

His recent goals really seemed to have caused your some discomfort.

His recent goals really seemed to have caused your some discomfort. Oh yeah, I forgot that you have this weird obsession with picking me up any time I comment on Nichols and pretending that you interpret my commenting on a player's performance as a personal crusade. Quite hilarious really given the amount of threads you start about Garner. I'm merely refuting the revision of history in this thread - that TN was a "goal machine" when he joined us (was he bollox) and that Rovers have managed to release a load of world beaters who are somehow only playing in League 2 now. Look, I know you wanted Tom Nichols to do well so you could do one of your "boom booms" but you've just got to let this one go. You backed the wrong dud. Like you kept telling me when he was here - managers know better than you do and 24 managers in league one didn't want him. Edit: Just checked - 6 Garner threads in two weeks (two with polls) and you're telling me when I reply to a thread about Nichols I'm on a personal crusade? Sweet sweet irony.
