What do you even make of today? Dismal miss but got an assist, seemed to press better than he has done in a while and was constantly making decent runs on the line. I thought it was notable everyone went to him after the Barnes goal - I think team senses his confidence is on the floor and went out the way to appreciate him setting up Barnes (while he only just about got that pass off, I do think he deserves some praise for not just taking a shot he had very little chance of scoring).

I'll set my stall out and say tgat if he's here next season and is injury free he'll turn it around. The fundamentals of his game in terms of position are there and it looks like he just needs to get up to speed. Imo he's the easiest of the big signings to hang your hat on.

Will be more than fine next season if he stays, good player. 
 

Not sure he ever justifies the fee and wages though.

Fucking sticking his hands in the air for the ‘assist’ after almost contriving to fuck it up only for Barnes to pull him out of the shite [emoji38]
 

Plays like a veteran footballer. 


Ya cocking up a pass that got deflected close enough to barnes to then do everything to score that goal isn’t a fucking assist. Lord Christ.

I thought he showed promise when he came on yesterday, led the line well, as others have said he looks low on confidence and he almost completely fluffed his "assist" for Barnes' goal, but he did the hard work pressing and winning the ball that high up and rounding the defence to be one on one with the keeper and had the wherewithall to try and lay it off rather than blast it from a tight angle. He'll come good.

You can tell a lot of his misses are classic "low on confidence, out of form" type misses. Because he gets in good positions but has zero composure and snatches everything. Which is odd because when he first came back from injury he looked a very calm and confident guy. 
So gives me hope he could regain all of that and be a useful squad player. Even post injury and being older he has more mobility that Woltemade which is 100% why he is getting on the pitch ahead of him yesterday. But Nick is by far a more talented player that doesn't unfortunately suit Eddie's set up.

I liked his movement. 
 

 

 

 

It was great, he really looked like a striker out there until he actually got to the finish point. I'm not convinced he's actually a natural finisher tbh, even in his highlight reels it was mostly tap-ins iirc.

He’ll never justify the fee. We got completely rinsed paying more than twice what he was worth. Just shockingly bad commercial nous from our transfer team last summer.

Given his age it's already impossible to justify the fee even with just one lost season. We can still hope to recoup as much as we can value-wise though.
