a1canary 0 Posted February 24, 2010 ...and you notice that your celebrated captain Grant Holt is not playing well at the moment. Do you:a) say nothing and assume his form will returnb) drop him and tell him that he''d like to give another player a chancec) tell him he''s not performing and that he''ll have to be dropped if he doesn''t improved) tell him he''s not performing but that you have faith in him rediscovering his form and keep him in the team.I think/hope Lambert would do D!Ask the same questions again but replace Grant Holt with Simon Lappin. Would he/you do any differently? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 397 Posted February 24, 2010 True, if we had another ''big man'' in the team I think Holt could have been fighting to keep his place off the back of his last 3 games, but I have complete faith in him to pick it up again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted February 25, 2010 Holt was out for three games and like the start of the season he just needs games to build up the goal power......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Boy ''Holty'' probably had one two many pints or pies during his 3 match lay off.... he will soon be banging them in again.Let''s not forget that without his fantastic shot which Oli turned in to an empty net after the Southend keepers good save then we would of had a different result on Tuesday night.

Jacko 0 Posted February 26, 2010 Hopefully D. Although to be fair to Holty I think he is the sort of player who is honest enough that he doesnt need to be told he isnt playing well at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 261 Posted February 27, 2010 cNo one is indespensible - we won the same number of points without him for 3 as with him, and the quality of the team perfromances have not improved since he returned - so how essential is he??He scoring record means he gets more chances and he is the club caption; and he is definitely helped by not having an understudy; but option is to adapt the diamond into the christmas tree with martin at the point and hoolahan and mcnamee playing off him, or to go with oli and martin up fron with either hoolahan or mcnamee in the hole. The xmas tree seems a better shape for the players we have and the fact that oli is 10 times more effective off the bench than starting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
