What a dreadful squad that is. It also shows how quickly things can change in football.

Main issue was a lack of goals, mistake prone defence especially Keeper. Contrast now where we have a rich forward line.

Don't think Nicholson was that good last season. We don't miss him IMO. I still hope for McCormick to come good but I'm worried that like Nicholson he mainly looked good because he was in such a dire squad.

There is no argument anymore the man's transformed our club.

Listen to the football fans itk …… called McCormick as over rated and Nicholson as no great shakes . Think too many of our fans got used to mundane mediocrity and saw a slight bit of of talent as potential greatness . They weren’t and never will be .

I think Mc cormick will come good for us , he didn’t have any kind of pre season and hasn’t had a run in the side since but was Mr consistent in our team last time in league 1 and the Wimbledon fans said the same about him last season. Nicholson even in his best times for us only used to have a good game every three and often went missing for games on end.

In that squad Nicholson was the standout player and we were very glad to have him here. As JB changed and improved the squad last season he was less of a standout and there were others who spread the load. Come the end he struggled to get a place, we were a more physical, stronger team and he was never that kind of player. He struggled with injuries and was probably more suited to the American game. Istr that Hearts were in for him when he signed for us but they probably knew his strengths and weaknesses and weren’t prepared to spend what we spent on him. Perhaps. Anyway good luck to him but we have others who are probably better for us although not exactly like for like players.
UTG!

For balance, what was GC's squad when he had us 4th. That would have included Kilgour, Leahy, Craig, Rodman, Nicholls etc. We still have not hit those heights, and may not this season. I don't know, but I'd be surprised if GC was backed by the chairman to anything near to what JB is.

We haven't really seen it since his return, but I agree (and hope!) that McCormick will come good for us. I think the pre-season will be vital. From what I've heard, a Barton pre-season is notorious and detailed in it's planning/preparation and McCormick will benefit from that next season. In the meantime let's hope he can find a bit of form this season and that would be a nice little added bonus.

Can't ever remember hitting those heights under GC.
