Why didnt Luton hang on to him ??


Maybe John Still thought the same about him as Hurst,

Yes a match winner on his day but too many games where he does very little,

Luton always had plenty of players to bring into the side if Scott was off his game.

Which is what I ask my self sometimes. Suprising as lasted just a season.Maybe when John Still came there  he didn't see enough personal qualities there eg character as I have read he values that over playing ability

If Neilson had the ability to play with his head up, seeing what was going on around him more often, he'd be a fantastic player with his close control and dribbling skills. Unfortunately, he doesn't have this aspect to his game, and I don't think that this is really something you can coach into a player though I'm sure a few have tried!

I just hope he finds some good form again soon as we could do with him scaring the opposition defenders a bit.

Hannah came on for JPP with 20 minutes to go.


Oh right (understandable that I didn't notice), makes my point even more valid then!

Controversial, I know, but I'm not really bothered if we don't sign anyone in January.

I believe we have a squad that is strong enough to win the title. Most of us feel it. That's why every dropped point, and every weekend we don't close the gap on Barnet, hurts.

For the last two years we've made what seemed like decent signings in January, and I'm struggling to think of just one that has made a positive difference.

What I'd like to see is Hurst get the best out of what he's got. He's able to identify and sign decent players, but that's no good if you can't get them to play to their potential.

So even if we did make an amazing Hearn-like signing in January, he'd end up playing wide in the 4-3-3 or sit on the bench. And I'm not sure where that would leave Hamish Watson.

I think the squad is big enough and good enough as it is. We're doing well - could be doing better - but I don't think the addition of new players is necessarily the answer.

I sort of agree with you Rich. For me, the most important part is can we keep Pittman fit? If we can, then I don't think we need new additions unless anyone goes out.

Also Crawley Didnt Fancy him either  ( Nielson)  . Could it be that we are that starved of excitement during games that our views on Nielson had been clouded ?

That's not true. They only got rid of him when they were in L2 and challenging for promotion.
