Wasted that deep. I saw him at times play it forward to Coutts. People knock Nicholson but he can carry the ball and doesnt often lose it Funny how people see things so differently. Whilst Evans isn’t his usual sharp self personally I don’t see the fuss about Nicholson. Retains the ball far too long and dribbles it out of the game, before losing it because there’s no remaining outlet. Reminds me of the quote, some people listen to Bob Marley, some people "hear" Bob Marley. Big difference in football in watching and actually seeing. I remember OC sprinting 20 yards to cover THD and stopped the winger having a free run at goal. He blocked the shot but the ball rebounded to their central midfielder and OC was slagged off on cos his man scored. Sammy Nic often takes two or more opposition with him, creating space for others, even if he does get tackled and the ball runs loose. If he draggs a defender away from Collins so he gets a golden opportunity, it has to be a good thing.

Loads on here claiming when we were relegated he would rip this league to pieces. Can beat his man yes, but invariably carries the ball to far and when he gets a shot away, generally a weak grass cutter that would not trouble an under 11's keeper.

Nicholson on the whole has been disappointing this season. He started poorly. Had a few good games around Jan to early March and has then been disappointing again so much so he can’t make the starting 11 when everyone’s fit. Who’d have thought we’d be saying that at the start of the season. I think Thomas has been very unlucky not to have started games ahead of him. I’ve a feeling he’s already signed a pre contract with another club.

Looks like Nicholson has lost a yard of pace compared to last season.Don’t know if it’s to do with his injury which kept him out of the run in,but somethings seems not quite right with him.Might be just a confidence thing,dunno.

It sounds like we're in advanced talks to sign Luke on a permanent deal.
This would be a good one in my opinion, as he will only get better with game time and experience. When on his game he's a really good threat in the pitch.

I thought he signed a new deal at Barnsley or was it just that they were using him a bit more in friendlies so we thought it was off?

I'd be really happy to get Luke back. Still young, we "know" him, he knows us etc. He looked a real handful at the back-end of last season. One of those players who may well do better in L1 ironically.

I'm not too bothered about Luke tbh. Always seems to cut inside and usually makes the wrong decision in the final third. Could have had the promotion wrapped up a lot sooner had he not failed with 2 good chances. Doesnt seem like a team player either hence his sulking at times last season.

Blaming him for not having an earlier promotion? And sulking? Never saw any of that.

Nicholson contributed much more last season even though he wasnt as good as in L1, yet Nicholson got criticism. Thomas was great for Coventry, saw none of that form last season though

Thomas was great for Coventry, saw none of that form last season though Thomas played 43 games and had 5 assists at Coventry plus 4 goals, whilst he only played 28 games for us last season but still managed 5 assists. The stats don't back up your view that he was great at Coventry but not so great for us? LT's clearly one for the future, if he could starts this season like he ended last season, he seems to doing OK in pre-season, then he could be the most exciting winger we've had since Bodin.

Well he scored 4 goals and those stats were from L1 so id say that was much better. Cant say I remember any of his assists for us apart from his straightforward pass to Billy towards the end. Just my opinion, Barton obviously sees something but to me seems like he carries too much baggage and we should look elsewhere, especially as Barnsley will want to recoup some of the million they paid for him

Has Sion Spence who ultimately got us promoted with that injury time goal been fixed up yet? Last I heard was on trial not in the JB case at Walsall with Timmy Abtaham.
