Rob Butler has just said Holt is in the squad for Saturday vs the Toon That's one fewer thing for us to worry about!
Great news about Holt! Looking forward to the match much more now (City never seem to be the same team without him!).
This may be a tad controversial but I would alter the team by playing EB at right back and use his pace to overlap Pilkington. If you had the two of them on one wing with Garrido and Snodgrass (who for me seems to get better every game) on the other with Johnson/Tetty in the middle and then Holt/Hoolahoops or Holt/Jackson you are looking at a pretty decent side going forward. Nothing against RM who I think is quality and obviously is now a goalscoring legend but I just think that EB has the skill and ace going forward and is an excellent tackler and could develop into a top class wing back in the very near future. I would not be at all disappointed to see Holty on the bench with Jackson up front to give Holt more of a rest and get his full fitness back as I think that he will not get back to 100% if he keeps participating in games.
Lets get this straight, he can hold possession better than Holt, interplay with the team better, is undoubtedly faster than Holt (where I agree) AND he's an instictive finisher. Hell, if he can do all those things whats he doing playing for us, I'm suprised he hasn't been snapped up by the bigger teams. And to think he's our back up!! What kind of wonder team are we building here. No. it's total hogwash, he can't do all those things. Players who can do those things are worth millions, they don't sit on the bench for us..
Do you have to be such an irritating little pedant? We are all aware of your rampant dislike for the tiniest error in syntax or grammar, and I can't speak on behalf of everybody on here (though I imagine I speak for quite a few), but I personally couldn't give two ****s by now. I'm educated well enough thanks and I really don't need someone half my age talking to me in the manner of an annoying schoolteacher on a football forum. I politely suggest you get over it, less posts by you on the subject would be much appreciated ta
It's only less and fewer that I have an issue with and it's just a joke. Why do you need an over the top reaction to it? Also, since when does age come into it? Just because I'm 22 doesn't automatically make me any different to someone older or younger to me? You're acting like a child anyway! Just get over it and stop trying to be the bigger person. I'm sure you can handle a little joke.
