His pass completion must be crap after last night. Was awful

The wife was also disappointed that his appearance doesnt live up to some of the selfies he posted when we first signed him

He'll be fine when he settles down. He's been out for a while too remember.

I reckon he'll be alright next season, good forward planning for when we get relegated again.

Is it too much too ask that we sign a player who comes into the side and just settles in?

He would stand a better chance of settling in if he played consecutive matches in the same position.

Agree OMVF but in any position he needs to be able run a bit and to pass to his own men.  Whatever the mitigating circumstances there has to be basic football competence.

From the little we have seen, I don't think he is a wide player.

From the little we have seen, it looks like we were short of numbers and someone brought their scruffy mate along.

He looks like a £1.7m midfielder.

Is the decimal point in the right place?

As an aside I thought Holman looked an asset when he didn't have the ball, he had some energy and hassled the opposition into losing the ball, before promptly giving it back to them. Better first impressions than Benny anyroad.
