Unfortunately however many good saves a keeper makes it doesn't make up for the howler, especially in his own mind. The important part is that Nicholls can put the mistake behind him and did go on to make saves.
Wakey is right, you have to carry that goal threat up front. The problem is, who in their right mind will loan you a known goal scorer? If he's likely to score for you, why wouldn't he score for them?
Jesurun Rak-Sakyi would have been the player I'd have tried for, but apparently half the Championship is after him and I've a feeling dear old Roy Hodgson might be well aware that getting him to sign a new contract for The Eagles is a priority. Leicester want him! Do they want everyone?
As for young Harratt, surely every manager and player has worked out his fallibility. Mark Hughes said he had a big personality, but when he gave him his debut he was sent off in stoppage time for an incident with the keeper and soon returned to Huddersfield, and a conviction for hare coursing hardly suggests Jean-Paul Sartre's Being and Nothingness is his bedside reading.
