Tries his best but he is past it at this level. We can’t rely on him to lead the line every week and he rarely scores nowadays, albeit at the moment we don’t create much.
As I alluded to on another thread going from Hugill as our main man to an ageing Nugent as our first choice striker in 2 years suggests our recruitment / transfer dealings aren’t really improving the side.
We need to sign a first team level striker and 2-3 other first team quality players this month. If it costs a few quid then so be it, we’ve sold players for big money in recent years and we will do again in the summer if we don’t go up.

My opinion on Nugent is that he is certainly worth a place in the squad. Yes, his best days are behind him but he still brings experience and an infectious enthusiam to the team. He presses the opposition, challenges for headers (which isn't really his game) lays the ball off well and rarely loses possession. But he's obviously lost a yard of pace and I accept he's no longer a first choice striker at this level. We undoubtedly need another striker but I believe Nugent still has a part to play.
