Definitely not his biggest fan but has scored more goals than Holt this season in a fraction of the time on the pitch.

Feeling very positive after the late winner and not wanting to knock individuals or the teams but can't understand some on here who seem to rate Holt. No chance he should be at ER next season.

Holt's focus is to bully defenders and then think about winning the ball. Up against a better quality of defender today he gets nowhere. Graham focuses on the ball and it worked better.

I've slated Graham more or less since he signed as I've thought he is a dreadful player but I thought he was excellent when he came on today, really good contribution.

Not convinced he's a long term solution for the team but I would consider starting him on Wednesday just to see how he does.

Personally feel holt gives us more of a presence up front but for me graham should start Wednesday, earned it in his cameos the last 2 games and holt needs a rest.

He flicked the ball onto Keatings to score the winner. I counted he lost 2 headers, Did Holt win that many up top ???

No but Holt offers something completely different.

Holt holds the ball in, wins free kicks and links up with the midfield better but late on when balls were getting thrown into the box Graham won the headers better.

They both did a job today so no need to play them off against each other.

I'm not playing them off. I don't rate Holt and think he was murder today, and most weeks !!!

I don't see him holding the ball up often and IMO adds little to the team . I know there is a big split between people about him and I'm firmly in the camp that he is a waste of a jersey until maybe the last 20 minutes

thebakerboy
25-03-2017, 06:50 PM
If Holt actually did all the things people say he does he would be great but as he is a target man/striker he needs to be up front and not in right back, centre midfield, and other positions . If he took up the position he is supposed to (ie the no9 position ) he would be do much more for the team. So often when we play the long ball the only player challenging is Jason Cummings and he wins very little in the air. Give me Brian Graham any time as he at least plays up front.

greenlex
25-03-2017, 06:52 PM
Holts only job today was to hold the ball up. I don't think he did it once and several times he fell over the ball.
I'd still give him the first 45 on wed.

Exactly my thoughts. He at least won a few headers today.

Leith Green
25-03-2017, 06:55 PM
Holys biggest problem is that he is competing for the ball forty yards from the oppositioms goal, when he wins it and we attack then he cant get anywhere near being on the end of things. Its glaringly obvious for me. The amount of crosses we put in the box after holt wins a knock on and there is nobody on the end of is ridiculous

Every week more and more Hibs fans realise they know absolutely nothing about football as they admit that they think he's hopeless. At this rate we are going to end up as thick as yams. [emoji23]

I'm fed up of watching Holt if I'm entirely honest. He likes the physical battle but offers nothing in other aspects of being a footballer like jumping for headers, linking with teammates and actually moving in the right direction to score a goal/posing any sort of scoring threat at all.

Graham definitely worked himself into a starting place today.

Holt spent the first half shouting to the midfielders to get past him for knock ons.Frankly they were hopeless.I started counting after 20 minutes and 7 times he got to the ball first and played it on for someone to run on to-nobody did.For those that said he does nothing I can only think they sit in the East and the sun was in their eyes.

Sun was in my eyes which was a relief as it eased the pain of watching Holt today..

The guy has done us proud in a number of games and has certainly played his part in this promotion season but gawd he was awful today and will surely be rested mid week.

Yep, having 2 right footed centre backs is not great, he made a big difference to the way we took it out of defence.

Re Graham, I'd definitely start him on Wednesday. Holty has run out of gas although he didn't get much help up there today.

Agree with your assessment. When the ball is at his feet he always looks like someone who has a bit of chewing gum stuck to the sole of his shoe and the pavement.

I've enjoyed Graham in his last two cameo appearances good link up with midfield and up front. Holt for me looks like he is running out of gas more easily in the last couple of games. If start Graham on Wednesday maybe with Keatings.

:agree:

Usual idiots around me were giving him pelters for not winning much in the air. Fair enough, he was watched well but that's not his game. He likes to hold the ball up with his body and feed players who make runs.
Anyway, what's the point of winning headers and flicking on when you are the most advanced player?

Lennon knows that Graham is better in the air and isn't stupid so maybe it's time for all the computer game Mourinhos out there to realise that maybe the manager knows what he's doing. Definitely horses for courses as far as the #9 jersey is concerned and he was right to bring Graham on when he did.

Chill...we have some great options up top and like it or not Holt is one of them.

Sums it up for me. Has the odd game where he is excellent but iargely pretty average. Today I thought he was very poor.

No league goals in 5 months, in this league, is diabolical for a striker whatever way it's dressed up.

I'm no fan of Graham really but he's made a bit of a difference In his last few sub appearances and I think he probably deserves a chance.

Barring the odd game I think Holt has been poor all year. Graham has looked very lively in the last month and it is beyond me how little game time he has had considering how effective he is when he plays. We look quicker, he wins more balls in the air, he gets in the box, he scores, looks dangerous, moves defenders about just as good at linking play as Holt etc. He is doing all the things Holt doesn't do very often. He must get more game time between now and the end of the season. Holt looks completely finished to me and was like a statue for large parts of today.

Holt gets no support from midfield. I know he was signed as a striker but sometimes I think he is doing their midfield job for them and has to drop back to get involved in the game. Hibs should be pushing forward more than they do.

Also wanted to point out Holt's defending today, off the top of my head I can think of two occasions he won the ball defending a set piece and managed to play it out calmly. At one point he was in the back 4 for a few minutes!

Both have contributed to a likely promotion and in different ways. I'm not convinced either are good enough for next season and I'd be looking to replace both. Graham for a big lad doesn't win as much in the air as he should for me. Not going to slag either just we need to improve to take us onto the next level

Holt focuses too much time on bullying defenders. I also lost count of the number of decent deliveries Stevenson put in (he was terrrific today and my MOTM) only for Holt to be standing 10 yards away from him and nowhere near the dangerous areas he needs to be in.

He has made a really solid contribution but give him a rest on Wednesday and let Graham show us what he can do.

hibee-boys
26-03-2017, 08:01 AM
I appreciate that Holt has been effective in a number of games and his link up play has contributed to us creating chances. However, we need a number 9 that can do this run of the mill work whilst also contributing a reasonable goal return. 3/4 goals so far this season, in the championship.....nobody can deny that's poor.

Didn't help that the service received by Cummings yesterday amounted to a load of hoofs aimed at his lovely quiff. I'd say Graham deserves a proper chance on Wednesday. I'm sure he's scored more than Holt despite being on the bench all season and proved yesterday to be a bigger nuisance to the opposition defence.

26-03-2017, 08:17 AM
My criticism of Graham is he's a big lad but doesn't seem to put himself about as much as he should. Seems a bit mouse hearted. Actually he was much better yesterday at this so maybe it's something that Lennon has identified.

Not easy for him making short cameo appearances every other week though and I'd start him on Wednesday as I really don't think holt can do two games a week.

I agree that Graham was excellent when he came on, massive contribution.

I also think, however, he was so successful in the air as their CH's were blowing hard by the time he came on, largely down to Holts graft in the 1st 70 mins.

Just my opinion but I think that was part of the managers game plan. Excellent tactics against they hoofers. Just my opinion mind.

Holt was poor yesterday but has been generally good over the season. I agree that he'd be better if he had at least one midfielder trying to get beyond him, which never seems to happen. I also agree that Grant had a brilliant game against him yesterday - he seemed ready for the battle, knew what to expect and got stuck in.

Not sure I'd drop Holt after (imo) one bad game but Graham did make a difference when he came on, which was good to see.

I think the jury is out on a few players for next season. We have a few players who clearly offer something but don't show anything like enough consistency, or who have strengths but glaring deficiencies in their game. Shinnie, Holt, Keatings and Graham all fall into this category.

Holt was a disgrace yesterday.

I work out what the hell he's up to. He won 1 header all game and he barely even tried to win any others. And wtf is this popping up on the wings pish. No wonder he's only managed 1 league goal from open play in the league this year. He looks absolutely terrified of the box. When he gets in there he makes no effort to make himself available for a cross.

I can't believe it took til the 70th minute to sub him.

Graham changed the game when he came on. He won nearly every header he went for. Has to start on Wed.

A bit strong.

He had a poor game, I don't think anyone can dispute that.

But I prefer to save the disgrace comments for Rowan Vine wandering around stroking his beard and Paul Tosh jumping out of tackles.

The referee signaled that Falkirk could play the game Houston wanted by not booking the first brutal challenge in the first few seconds. Holt was trying to fight off the hits from the back and didn't find it easy to win any balls. The passing game we like to play was made difficult by frequent fouling and the pitch surface wasn't great. Graham deserves a chance after his play yesterday but I don't think he will keep Holt on the bench for long.

It probably is but as the lack of effort he put in to winning headers was embarrassing. He rarely even jumped. Just waved his arms about once he was beaten. Graham came on and one every single one.

cabbageandribs1875
26-03-2017, 05:39 PM
He flicked the ball onto Keatings to score the winner. I counted he lost 2 headers, Did Holt win that many up top ???


iirc he won one header(1st half) and had the cheek to wave his hands about at JC for not realising he would eventually win a flick on

Amazing how guys who are subs become great players when someone has a bad game! Holt more than anyone has helped us win the games that matter this year, sure he is past his very best but he has been good enough to do the job he has been brought in to do. Think you should do a wee poll with our our players and I think you will find they all appreciate his influence on our team and season. If Graham was better than Holt don't you think Lennon would have played him from the start more often? That said Graham has also done his bit this season (as have all the players) and may start on Wednesday as Holt doesn't get asked to play three games in eight days too often.

blackpoolhibs

If Holt actually did all the things people say he does he would be great but as he is a target man/striker he needs to be up front and not in right back, centre midfield, and other positions . If he took up the position he is supposed to (ie the no9 position ) he would be do much more for the team. So often when we play the long ball the only player challenging is Jason Cummings and he wins very little in the air.

He flicked the ball onto Keatings to score the winner. I counted he lost 2 headers, Did Holt win that many up top ???

Leahy had hold in his pocket all day

Holt didn't play against Leahy....Leahy was playing left back against Boyle surely...

Holt has provided pretty much what I thought he would when we signed him, certainly has done a decent job and I would probably rather he starts most of the upcoming matches over Graham. I'm glad that Graham made a good contribution when he came on, hopefully he can continue to deliver when called upon, be it from the start or off the bench.

Yup. I think it was Grant?

It probably is but as the lack of effort he put in to winning headers was embarrassing. He rarely even jumped. Just waved his arms about once he was beaten. Graham came on and one every single one.

It's hard to jump with someone hanging onto your shoulders!

Didn't bother Brian Graham. He won nearly every header we he came on.

Don't think there is room for facts on threads like this.

That might be true, but not that relevant from Saturdays game. Holt seemed to have some bizarre idea to want to constantly roll the defender rather than actually try and head the ball. The defender just stood his ground and headed it away.

I agree with what a striker like Holt brings to a side, and agree we need that type of striker in our squad, but I can't help but feel a bit short changed that Holt is one of our main strikers given the fans have done their bit and more this season with the money we have put into the club. That's not Holts fault he was signed, but the scouting department needs to deliver a lot more next season.

Holt hasn't been prolific scorer, and is maybe a bit tired. I'd give him a half and see how he goes, let him bash them up a little, then bring on Graham. It wasn't a tangible, because little came off him on Saturday, but I think the attitude Holt brings underscores to teams like Falkirk that can no longer bullied out of games.

Holt certainly divides opinion but there are plenty of us out there who are happy with what he has brought and don't feel in the least short-changed.

Yes, he has his weaknesses but we've been crying out for players who are a bit streetwise, who rough up defenders and use their experience. We got a lot with Holt, albeit his scoring record has been very disappointing.

There was only one target this season - to go up. If we get up then the season has been a success, and Holt will have played a big part in that.
