Rock The Boat 1,332 Posted December 10, 2011 [quote user="BroadstairsR"]Everybody: 8 Except Grant Holt: 28[/quote]Agree 100%Holt was immense today. Most people mention his strength, his workrate and the talisman effect on his team mates. But he is also a very intelligent footballer. He makes great runs, takes up excellent positions, moves the ball really well, and reads what''s going on around him faster than other players.Today he left out a lot of the clinging-on and wrestling matches that he indulged in earlier in the season, and instead played to his footballing strengthsAs a result he gave us so many more options moving forward and creates more space for Morison to be simply a target man. His harrying of the defence means also that they don''t always clear their lines so well and often the ball goes to our midfield allowing us to press forward.Grant Holt''s presence lifted all our players around him and we turned in a performance a million miles away from last week''s no-show at Manchester City.Newcastle have had a fantastic start to the season but were second best to a great Norwich side.
