I’m guessing loose balls are Nicky’s forte rather than the crunching tackle.
I think he did ok on Saturday for an hour or so. Not brilliantly but acceptable and he really can’t hide in a 4-4-2 if we’re calling this a 4-4-2. But Wrexham were awful. Big step up for him and all of them tomorrow, assuming he plays. Maybe he’s up to it and maybe he’s not but no one is really smashing the manager’s door down for his spot.
I hope we’re positive and stick with the formation, for its flaws. Wouldn’t surprise me if he brings in Hayden instead or plays the same XI but more of a 4-3-3
