Alex Nicholls has done fairly well for us, but is he 'back to his best'? Not sure... didn't see so much of him pre-injury, but from his stats, position of clubs he was playing at and reports, I imagine he'd be amongst the top 2 or 3 players for us. Not sure he's got to that level yet.

Nobody knows what were paying hoskins and as we 'tis 'continually says , we always look for value for value money. Might be too hard both mentally and physically for hoskins to get back to top championship/prem
But to be decent enough our level? But tbh its an open ended argument which only time and maybe luck will tell.

could you could put Alex nich's in that category?. However a lot will be imo, down to just how much Will actually wants/needs this. Lets not forget even at championship level players, especially strikers, will be paid pretty well.
No, Nicholls had a severe leg break and has come back. Hoskins is just broken all over. Totally different.

Different , but not totally different, both have/had huge issues, describing nic's break as severe imo is mild, untreated out side could it have killed him?

who knows, looked TOTALLY SCARILY HORRIFIC enough' . But the issue for both are physiological, huge barriers to over come, i'de say they are bigger with hoskins, he'll

have enough wedge to sort

himself out without playing , like it or not it puts a different slant on his situation. with nic's it was not soley but mainly physical he's a decent enuf player , but is

he the star lower league clubs and fans craved and raved about, atm not quite, but he's decent enuf. If hoskins gets to relatively the same level as nic's, then we'll

be ok, but time will tell. As per the first time on here about hoskins I still reckon, easter will be the telling point, by then we'll know, or at least should know,

Nicholls' injury was horrific but Hoskins has had knee, hip, back, thigh and god knows what else. Like Sturridge, as soon as something heals another injury happens due to his body over-compensating for the other injuries.

Time will tell but to earn another deal he must put a significant run of games together.

Backing Gary Caldwell, thanks Matt and good luck.
