He was crap last season but was fantastic for the 2 seasons prior, so I don't think everyone should just write him off yet.
Yeah, I don't know how true it is really for a pro athlete but Ernie said his form was a combination of exhaustion from playing so much football (going to the MLS on loan then back) and missing the preseason and therefore struggling to adapt to the new Nix.It sounds plausible that he came back, had issues, didn't fit in, and had a dip in form which cost him confidence.
See what he's like with a full pre season and a whole lot of confidence. Remember also that the TFC fans were giving him big ups not for his goal scoring (he got one?) but his assists and general work rate - which is a side of his game that we had never seen under Ricky.
