Dean Holden

This might have been mentioned elsewhere but the latest episode of the 1904 Club podcast is an interview with Dean Holden. A good listen and gives an insight into what's going on behind the scenes and his experiences. He sounds like he's in and around the players a lot and is driving the togetherness and standards. The kind of character we've needed. Hope it works out for him because he sounds like he's bought into it.

A very good listen, seems like a special guy, highly motivated & full of energy. Can only be positive influence on the club
What was the reference to his daughter? I didn’t understand it

The sound quality on that podcast is so poor. Makes it really hard to listen to

He's absolutely class tbh, he's driving so many things behind the scenes. We're lucky to have him

Good listen.
Interesting that we were looking at bringing him in back in January. And that he had other similar offers but chose us.

As others have said a really good listen and he seems like just what we need.

I thought it interesting that he looks at the defensive side of things even when in possession. If we lose the ball are we set to defend the counter.

I thought our defensive shape yesterday was outstanding. We have relied on more last ditch defending in the past but just seemed to have a man in the right place for most of the game - I imagine this has Holdens fingerprints all over it.
