Brett Holman

Neville's analyses are good. All Shearer and co seem to come up with is the likes of 'it's a poor kick from the goalkeeper and so-and-so nets the tap-in'. Really? Tell me something I don't see.

Neville seems to manage that.

Andy Gray did in his early days, but stayed well past his sell-by date.

Starting to look a bit of a revelation imo, chipping in with goals and assists now.

I think he's not as bad technically as some think, quite a lot of our good moves and one-twos he's usually involved in.

Agreed.
It was overlooked by a fair few, but it was his run into the box that stalled their centre back (Skirtl I think) giving Benteke the yard or two he needed for the 3rd goal.

[PaulTheVillan]

I think Holman works hard and has a goal in him, he needs replacing after 60 minutes,

[citizenDJ]

He's quite a tricky player to judge in some ways, Holman. Aside form his remarkable work-rate, he seems to lack a bit of composure on the ball, his passing can be a little....off, and he doesn't have too much in the way of tricks.

Yet when we do something good, he's invariably involved in some way. As Percy mentioned earlier, he's a better bet than Ireland in my opinion.

I am in agreement with this. Neville has had a great deal of recent playing experience at a very high level playing for a top manager (like it or not). The lolling back in the chair rubbish that comes out of the mouths of some of them is a joke.

[Percy McCarthy]

I'm probably in a minority of one, but I've always liked the Nevilles. Played like fans, which of course they were, and Gary's a bit of a lefty as well.

I disliked them intensely when they were playing against us but thought they were alright otherwise, they always had a bit more about them than your average footballer.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Gary Neville has never been known for his personality. But his enthusiasm and knowledge of tactics of the "modern game appears to be better and more understanding than any of the old dinosaurs on the Sky panel. Lawrence and Hanson are totally one eyed and avoid any recognition of any club that play well against their team which is in tatters. Neville says it as it is regardless of whether it is against his former club .....

[JUAN PABLO]

Gary Neville ain't a bad egg, is he? Punditry-wise, like. Compare his knowledge to Gobby Ravage.

he did say Villa park is his favourite ground, but we know why .

I could never bring myself to hate them. I thought Phil was a bit rubbish, but couldn't quite fathom why anyone other than Liverpool fans hate them - and hey, RedScouse hating many people is enough for me to like them.

That's clearly not true. Lawro waxed lyrical about us on Saturday night.

I was talking pre Saturday night. He has predicted us to lose the last three games ......

For me Holman is the equal of James Milner, we're lucky to have him.

In his defence, I think half of our fans predicted we'd lose the last three games.

Lets just say it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about AVFC in the next few games ..........
