it's incredible how such a low-key signing turned out to be best one made by Town in donkey's years. He's at least 75% the main factor behind the unbeaten run.

If he did win Championship keeper of the year, can safely assume he would waste 5 minutes before taking to the stage.

Just seen his save from the corner. Wow, he’s looking around the defenders all the weight on the wrong side of his body and then somehow gets right across to the other side of the goal to tip it onto the post. Most solid keeper I think I’ve seen at town in the last 20 years

He'll probably have a shocker next game now but is there a goal this season that he has been directly at fault for? Clear and obvious I mean.

Mooy aside, the most influential signing Town has ever made.

Nicholls does exactly what Corberan wants to do. Keep the ball, pass, let the opposition run around after it, use the keeper as the 11th player. It is imperative that a Corberan team has this type of keeper, without it/him, the whole system collapses, as seen last year. If Corberan had the right tools in every position, he would have a very successful team.

Definitely one of the best keepers I’ve seen at town - and to get him on a free as well is simply outstanding business
Yesterday we had Nichols, lees, Pearson, ruffels, Russell and ward who all came in on frees plus LOB from the youth team. That’s 7 starters we got for free!
We’ve done some fantastic business and Nichols is the best of the lot

Not had a keeper win it since Nico Vaesen in 1999 & would be the sixth to achieve it, it was a cracking save yesterday, albeit from an avoidable corner.........What's 'time' in Spanish?

To say we were all wondering what on earth we were doing getting a keeper who was on the bench for an L1 team last season, he's proven to be an absolutely inspired signing.

I gave him a 9 in the Examiner player ratings. I think that may have been my first 9 of the season.

Mooy aside, the most influential signing Town has ever made. We’ve had some good keepers in the 40 odd years I’ve been watching. But this lad is different gravy. Every aspect of the art. Good shot stopper, good on crosses, good communication, decent with his feet and to top it off his shithousery My only reservation is that we are 32 league games into his town career. Fingers crossed that we’re saying this in 3 or 4 years time.

This guy deserves his own song. Surprised he hasn't got 1!!. There's the start of one on this thread - I've added a bit: Sheep in the place, off their fucking face. Kick the opposition out the place cos they're not fucking ace. Fuck the Tile. Lee Nicholls is the main man in Huddersfield.

The modern day keeper has often to be much more than just a shot stopper, they have to be a sweeper, passer, confident with the ball at his feet, exude confidence to all his team mates, and as well as making good saves hes all of these. When we signed him i thought Lee who?

Best goaly I've seen at Town, Danny Ward a close second. Did you not see Nico and Stevie Harper ? Different class to Ward, Smithies and Lossl were better than him too

Opinions plus it’s so difficult to compare players from different era’s. Keepers nowadays need to have all round abilities in addition to shot stopping. Nicholls has them all in my opinion.

Yep totally correct, first time in years I am more worried about us scoring than conceding, last 4 games won 2 drawn 2, goals conceded zero.
