There have been a few comparisons between Holt and Craig Brewster recently and I think they are fair and accurate.

Brewster wasn't hugely appreciated whilst he was here and he didn't score a lot of goals for us. But we had a horrible run of form when he was out of the side and after he left we went on to appreciate his importance to the side and the effect that he had on some of our younger strikers, Garry O'Connor in particular.

In years to come we'll really appreciate what Holt brought to us, and Cummings will speak glowingly of him in 20 years time.

how I recall it: Brewster looked really sharp with us, but struggled to find the net..he seemed to be really unlucky - hitting post, bar, great saves etc...He was just finding some real form when he got injured. We spent the rest of the season struggling, got him fit - and then promptly let him go - the rest as the say is history...he always looks a top class pro..

Holt is further towards end of his career, yet his commitment and impact still makes a big difference...he takes a lot of attention away from Cummings to allow him more freedom on the pitch...good signing, needs to add a few goals to help us win this league.
