"Nottingham Forest Are Premier League"
I've found Nick's recent stint as a midfield anchor one of the most pleasing aspects of our recent form. He is clearly a very good footballer who I always felt was slightly wasted pressing in wider areas when we also have pacey wingers who can pin opposition full backs.
He has given great stability to Yatesy's all-round approach and I really like that he's willing to get stuck right in and essentially run himself into the ground each game. I'd always envisaged him as a more forward-looking option, looking to move and breaking into the box, as we saw a few times in pre-season but the deeper role, mopping up the bits and pieces and playing the simple pass looks like just the thing we need at the moment.
