AntrimBlack Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I should stop mocking avlife with the journalism thing, its just hard to resist at how nasty some of the posts are. Holt is a guy who got to the prem by working his way through all 4 leagues, maximizing his natural ability through hard work and savvy. Yes, for Villa he's been poor and probably isn't good enough anymore, but the overweight and other childish criticisms are ignorant and ridiculous. He's reached the top league in his profession, it's more than most of us on here will accomplish, and he's also most likely not overweight, he just seems naturally big. Thought this should be said. Its funny because you ignored my hashtag regarding your occupation #somethingtohide #ashamed The relevance of this has escaped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Need to get beside Holt for few games until people start judging him for good. We need to just leave him on the bench to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'd much rather Lambert gave Helenius a chance to be honest. Holt is a known quantity and predictable for defenders and I just can't see him winning points for us, although I would love to eat my words.

Risso Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Some people here are embarrassing, Holt may or may not turn out to be an effective signing but absolutely no need for the abuse. I'm sure in common with every single player, manager, referee and linesman, he's heard far, far worse every day of his professional career.

Tomaszk Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 There was only one player who looked like Heskey last night. And he spent the night on the pitch wearing the 20 shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm not sure if anyone is aware but a lot of people think Holt is fat. Just throwing it out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm not sure if anyone is aware but a lot of people think Holt is fat. Just throwing it out there. It's more alarming that there's one person who thinks he's good enough for the Premier League. It's even more alarming that that one person is our manager.

It's more alarming that there's one person who thinks he's good enough for the Premier League. It's even more alarming that that one person is our manager. He thinks he is good enough as a stop gap for our injured striker. Do you understand that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 But isn't that the point. He's not even good enough to be that. Why not use the forward signings he's already made in Bowery or Helenius or is Lambert admitting that with having to bring in an unfit Championship striker that Bowery and Helenius are currently worse than Holt which is a terrible indictment of his signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) A positive from last night was that we didn't have to watch him play. I thought he looked at his best last night actually. I think we now know his best postion Edited February 12, 2014 by foreveryoung 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 after not playing for wigan it's going to take him a few games to get up to match sharpness. Especially a lad who obviously looks a bit chunky. I still believe he'll bang a couple of big goals in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
