lexicon Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Time to give him a run-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think so. cant be any worse than what we currently have and if Fulham are playing 17 year olds in relegation battles surely we have no excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think so. cant be any worse than what we currently have and if Fulham are playing 17 year olds in relegation battles surely we have no excuses Well from what I have seen of Holt since he's been with us I think the lad would be a considerable improvement. We will never know if these guys are good enough unless we try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezvilla Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Happy for the lad. Looked decent when he came on too. looked nervous and no real impact. But I'm sure he has much more to give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Congrats to him. I'd like to see more of him instead of gabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 He should've been brought on sooner but he got into a couple of decent positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_gary_cahill Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Great to see him make his league debut, very happy for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSmith22 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 He definitely looked nervous but I'm very happy he got the chance. Good for him and I hope this continues through the end of the season into next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 He should get his chance ahead of Gabby now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevangrealish Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Brilliant support from the villa faithful when he came on. If Jack got a cheer like that I'd be delighted. He looked like he was trying too hard. Chased everything down and tried to get the ball at every opportunity. But looked nervous aswell. I say give him time and a bit more of a chance and he can become good. Glad PL gave him the opportunity though. Top lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It was great to see him given a chance, and the fans did well with the reception. As noted, he looked very nervous and didn't really do anything to justify any more significant involvement at this stage, but once we're mathematically safe I'd like to see him get more pitch time.

Nicho Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Great reception should have been put on at the same time as Holt. Had someone behind me say looks out of his depth after his first touch. Wanted to turn around and slap them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hopefully he comes good. He and Grealish could be quite exciting next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermie123 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think Sid "bullied" Lambert into sending him on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted April 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2014 I understand the nervous comments, and the couple of times he pulled the trigger he definitely wasn't exactly composed. Still though he did the naturl/autopilot stuff you'd want from a good striker, he got into positions where he could threaten their goal and he looked lively. Much more to come from him you'd think, also great that Sid's influence (surely?) told and he got a run out. Good luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 He wasn't great when he came on, but he's young, can improve and could have been overwhelmed with his first appearance. <br /> <br /> The support he got was fantastic, if only the fans supported the whole team that enthusiastically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 19, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2014 He got a huge ovation when he came on, Southampton must have been thinking we were bringing on the hottest young prospect in world football. He's okay, and I was glad to see him get an appearance, but I'm not sure he's quite up to the standard his welcome suggested. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Happy for the lad. Looked decent when he came on too. Glad he got on and would like to see more sub appearances this season but I would say he looked decent. Unless you're using the PL meaning of decent in which case yes he did! Great to see the reception he got too, must have been a great moment for the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Great reception should have been put on at the same time as Holt. Had someone behind me say looks out of his depth after his first touch. Wanted to turn around and slap them! Someone by me moaned at the fans for clapping and encouraging him after a mid control. You do have to wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
