Xpath Expression Filter - Why cant i see any nodes? iD10T error

Using Umbraco 7

Umbraco 7

I am new to xpath. I am trying to use the "nuPickers XML Dropdown picker" on Umbraco 7.3.4

but no matter what xpath xpression filter i use, the dropdown remains empty no nodes is being loaded in to the dropdown

i tried the following filters:

$root/

$site/

/*/

$ancestor-or-self::Home/

but to no avail, none of them loads any nodes

i actually want to select all the "Club" nodes under "Clubcontainer", but i cant get it to load any nodes, nevermind the specific ones that i actually want. My Umbraco.config looks as follows: (some nodes removed under to only show relevant nodes for my filter query.)

<root id="-1">
  <Home id="2081" key="ebb9222f-f26c-4462-9f5d-43dba520326f" parentID="-1" level="1" creatorID="0" sortOrder="0" createDate="2015-12-29T12:19:53" updateDate="2016-01-09T17:27:57" nodeName="Home" urlName="home" path="-1,2081" isDoc="" nodeType="1070" creatorName="Gerrie Pretorius" writerName="Gerrie Pretorius" writerID="0" template="1049" nodeTypeAlias="Home">

Hi Gerrie

Some pretty good examples of how the Xpath can be written here:

https://github.com/uComponents/nuPickers/wiki/Data-Source-Xml

so
```
//Club 
```
would return 'all' club nodes in your site.

and I think...
```
$ancestorOrSelf/ancestor-or-self::Home[position()=1]//Clubcontainer//Club
```
would be close to what you are after...
