Hes a versatile defender, prefers CB but can fill in at FB and DMC too.

While you're undoubtedly right, I've been impressed with Nichols' unexpected tenaciousness, he does like to get stuck in.
Nichols has done well in midfield, the last player I remember starting as a striker and moving back to midfield was Lee Peacock who did well in the DMC position too.

Nichols is learning a new trade though and it could take a while but hes played quite well so far definately.

Nichols out of the squad replaced by Clarke, the 2 loanees on the bench for Kirkman and MacGregor.

I hope this is rotation & Holloways choice opposed to ‘loans have to be in the match day squad’

While you're undoubtedly right, I've been impressed with Nichols' unexpected tenaciousness, he does like to get stuck in.

Was only discussing at work the other night that currently Nichols place in the XI was probably the only one up for grabs.

I’m not convinced the plan was for him to sit deeper with Oldaker more advanced but it’s naturally progressed that way & I think Oldaker has a better final ball than Nichols.

Not saying he’s done badly at CM but sometimes he give me Matt Hewlett vibes - runs around a bit with his arms out pushing people over, giving away silly fouls & getting booked.

I've not been impressed by Nichols in midfield this season. Did very well there in the few games last season but a nonentity except when giving away stupid fouls so far this.

However as Holloway said he had a player who ill or injured yesterday who was trying to convince him he was fine I suspect his been out of the squad is down to that rather than being dropped out entirely just to make space for the loans. If space was specifically needed to get the loans in then it would have been one of the players already on the bench.

Snowdon turned and a great cross to the striker who heads back and Mabete heads over the bar on the line.

Lovely break and cross by Snowdon but nobody can get on the end of it.
