You can bet that if McLeish was still in charge, Holman wouldn't look anywhere as good and wouldn't have been getting the praise that he has been.
A very safe bet OCD.

It's an excellent sign that lambert is able to take a new, untried signing made by his predecessor, assess his strengths and then make him central to his own team.

We are going to need flexibility if we are going to succeed this season

Holman reminds me of an older Milner.

I was incredibly impressed with his performance yesterday.
He ran his socks off, made countless interceptions and when he lost possession he busted his ass to win it back.
Hopefully Stephen Ireland can learn something from him.
Totally deserved his MOM award.

I only saw the second half, and thought he played quite well.  I maintain he was wasn't very good against Newcastle though.  I thought El Ahmadi and Bannan were better than him yesterday, but as I say, I only saw the second half.

KEA was pretty quiet yesterday, tidy enough bit nothing spectacular.
Bannan did O.K.
Holman and Vlaar were both immense.

Some years ago when Sir Ronald of The Saunders breezed into Villa Park he bought Frank Carrodus from Man City. Carrodus worked so hard
each game Ron described him as having FIVE LUNGS.

Holman must be Franks love child. They both had the ability to cover to cover every blade of Villa Park... and then repeat it!

Frank like Des Bremner was never fully appreciated by the fans.

It looks as if Brett Holman will be!

As I said to amfy, Mr amfy and Liz after the game, he reminds me of a Bremner or Carrodus.

At least I think I said it to them, or maybe it was the Amish bloke who sat by me.

Frank was my favourite player and I am not sure about Brett being his love child as Frank only loved running and tackling.
