Neither Holt nor Graham should be with us next season. I think both try there best and you could argue Graham hasn't been given enough starts to impress but it's vital we have a better partner for Jason next year

He hasn't scored a lot of goals for us and at the end of the day that's what you want your strikers to do, but I don't think Cummings would be on nearly as many as he is this season if he had Graham next to him instead. If you watch Holt for ten minutes you realise how much of the dirty work he does off the ball. I can understand how he frustrates some fans though.

Called a fat basturd regularly
Booed
Mocked when he did win a header
Some very classy hibs fans at our games. Sometimes watching on its like fans were WANTING him to fail and actually itching to say something before he even touched the ball.
Contributed as much as Keatings/Cummings and Mcginn (other than his shot in the first minute) tonight. Seems he's the target for the fans itching to have a go. Boyle beat his man umpteen times but almost every ball in was shocking. Maybe if wingers reached their man with crosses we'd utilise him more.
Last season (and the season before) fans wanted a man that held the ball up, won free kicks and was a nuisance to centre half's. Holt isn't the most technically gifted nor the most agile but I always feel we play better with him in the teamLast edited by GreenNWhiteArmy; 29-03-2017 at 09:44 PM.

I thought Holt looked leg weary and jaded the whole game. Needs rested and Graham deserves a chance.

Holt made a few bad decisions in the first half when he tried to wrestle with his man instead of jumping to win the header and he was crucified for it. He also underhit a pass to Keatings early in the second half.
Other than that he had a few nice touches and flicks towards the start of the game and towards the end of the half (when he started to jump and challenge for the ball) he got a lot better.
I thought he had a good 20 minutes at the start of the second half, keeping possession under pressure, playing a good ball over the top to Cummings and killing a ball nicely under pressure as it dropped out the sky to help keep possession.
I thought we looked far worse when he went off, as we do just about every time we do when he's not on the pitch.
I thought we looked pretty inept overall in the final third tonight, as we have done far too often and we've struggled for goals for a long time. As regards next season I think I'd keep all the defenders, the goalkeepers, Fyvie, McGinn, Bartley and McGeouch. TBH I don't know if I would be particularly devastated if we got rid of every other attacking player. If we got a few quid for Cummings then we'd have a bit of a budget for new forwards and wide players. I'm sick of seeing Boyle beat his man all ends up and just know that we're not going to score from him being in a very dangerous position. I'm sick of us failing to get heads on crosses and I'm sick of us pondering on the ball 40 yards out with no idea how to break down a defence. Better teams than the ones in our league will come to Easter Road and park the bus next season and we need to have some better answers to that.

was noticeable last Saturday that Holt was a bit weary. added to that, and also tonight , a lot of long balls punted up to his area and he was just not getting many of them. Graham should have started last week and tonight. Holt could then do a 20 minute shift if reqd.

Iv never rated him, he has his better games but it's the championship, we need a striker to score more than 4 goals by the end of march.
Sometimes when the opponents are pinned back he is good at dropping deep, holding it up and playing it wide. That's not enough imo.
I wish he would stop trying to shout how tough he is or thinks he is and focus on the game.
Fwiw I though Graham looked good tonight when he came on and it's unlike me to praise him.

I've even wondered about sticking Forster up there. He'd win flicks and he attacks the ball brilliantly at set pieces so I could see him getting on more crosses than any other player we have.
I actually think Ambrose looks like he's playing within himself a bit, I think he's lost a bit of confidence at Celtic and it has affected him. He looks great when he strides forward but when he gets to a certain position he seems to hold back a bit. I'd like him to just run at teams from deep. With Bartley in the team we should be able to re-shuffle and get a defensive shape back if he loses the ball.

He's been absolutely terrible recently, summed it up for me when he under hit a 6/7 yard pass to Keatings then had the cheek to give Keatings a dirty look.
He's simply not good enough and will need replacing in the summer if we want to compete in the premiership
