Brett Holman

[Risso]

Holman strikes me as being like James Milner, with all the running, but none of the other stuff.

Agreed.  Anyway, I'm glad he's turned out to be shite after all, as it looked for a while like we might have had to give McLeish some credit where it was due!

That's a good point.

Bit like KEA for me. Had some decent games at the start of the season and during the xmas period pre chelsea but well and truely found out since that game.

Why is it that he's been 'found out', thereby presuming the form post Chelsea is the real him, as opposed the the early form being more true and he's suffered, along with the rest of the team, from a massive drop in confidence?

I think we're too quick to write players off sometimes.

He's certainly not a world beater, but could still be a valuable member of the squad.

I agree, John.
Maybe, we're just beginning to get a bit of confidence back now, so hopefully form will improve too. I think we've really missed a confident, on form Holman.

[Concrete John]

I wouldn't say we've missed him, as the confident, on form N'Zogbia is much better than the Holman equivalent, but getting him back to decent form would certainly be of benefit for the run in.

I see him as a sub coming on when we're winning/holding on for fresh legs to chase and occupy an oppositions defence.   

[pedro25]

On form he should be pushing Weimann for that right sided spot, to enable Charley to stay central.

He's not great technically but pre xmas he played his part in some of our best moves like the Benteke goal against Liverpool and he played very well at Norwich.

Last two games he's come on as sub vs WBA and Everton he's barely touched the ball. There's a lack of confidence and then there's barely touching the ball in games.

Yes, CN'Zs form, of late, has been a huge bonus, as has the form of Delph.
I wasn't meaning to imply that Holman should be starting games, just that we've missed the option.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

He's gone then.

Never really looked like he'd be all that good to be honest, so won't really be missed.

Disagree paulie. James Milner runs for 90 minutes. Holman runs harder than Milner for 10 minutes and is fucked for the other 80.

Agree with this, at least the bloke tried which is more than some others who have pulled on a Villa shirt.
