My MOTM today. Superb and has been for the most part for the last 5 or 6 weeks.

I thought Holt was outstanding and we could have had more but job done.

Just posted this in a previous thread. Opinions, eh

Not quibbling but I found him a bit frustrating. No lack of effort and maybe with a bit of luck he could have had at least one goal and a couple of assists

**GreenCastle** · 04-03-2017 05:02 PM

Love the guy!

Showed his class once again today. He makes some really good runs -works non stop and I feel is a leader on the pitch.

He deserves more goals as he is involved in a lot.

Considering he got taken out in first few minutes he did well to carry on and play well.

I thought he was poor. Basically lived up to Blackpool Hibs summary today- spent too much time miles from the box or moaning at officials. At one point in the second half Stevenson was clearly shouting at him to get himself in the box.

Some nice touches first half over by the West but very little came off for him or Cummings second half.

Wasn't sure about Holt at the beginning, but for or a 35 yr old, astonishing appetite and application. Many players would have gone into their shell after that thump he got in 1st min.

A proper footballer who's a great example to others.

He was the best player in the 1st half and involved in a lot 2nd half.

He's an important part of the team. He does sometimes drop deep but if you watch his movement it's very intelligent and often opens up space for others.

Cummings and Holt are our best 2 up front when playing well.

Though I think Keatings will score more than Holt this season.

Holt was outstanding. They need to stop drunk people in hospitality giving out the MOTM awards!

**skyhibs** · 04-03-2017 05:10 PM

Holt is not for me... offered nothing today..... we need another goal scorer.. also didn't think Cummings was too interested today ... ambrose looks class though, much better than most today

Keatings would be our top goal scorer if he played every game.

Ha! Laughed at that.

Some of the man of the match awards have been a joke this season. Basically who the sponsor fancies.

I think this debate has been had several times already on Holt but just as a reminder.....

People who might not rate Holt or criticise him on occasion do actually watch his movement. They aren't missing some game intelligence than only Holt fans can see.

FWIW I like the big fella and would start him every game but he did not impress me today. Was far too wasteful in possession.

***andy1875*** · 04-03-2017 05:13 PM

I thought Holt was really good today.

He will not score 20 goals a season but this guy is a nuisance, tries 100% and can actually play. My only criticism would be that he doesn't test keepers enough by putting his laces through a ball. He tries to link play and set others up more often than being selfish. Which I guess is fair enough.

I will say that he has really grown on me the last few weeks, for a 35 year old, he really does put himself about. Good on the guy and after that goal against THEM, he deserves respect.

The funny thing is I have watched a lot of games this season and a few I thought he wasn't at it.

But today I really enjoyed watching his link up play and looked like a real experienced pro.

The goal return is the only thing we can criticise him over but I felt he was unfortunate not to score today.

He's a great professional and glad he's in our team and we aren't up against him.

Eh, this is a joke right?

**frazeHFC** · 04-03-2017 05:21 PM

Holt was brilliant today, my MOTM too.

***hibee_girl*** · 04-03-2017 05:23 PM

He was great today, unlucky not to score

Were you in hospitality today???

**21.05.2016** · 04-03-2017 05:23 PM

Outstanding today. I was quite critical of Holt to begin with but recently he's been excellent. Him or McGinn would have been my choice for MOTM. Take nothing away from Shinnie though, good shift from him as well.

Wish he had scored with that header. I have a right Grant Holt crush 😍

We must have been watching different games then.

**RoYO!** · 04-03-2017 05:24 PM

Unlucky with his header. And brilliant link up/ give and go with Keatings around the box. We really should have scored 4+ today.

That's my thoughts and am sure I am allowed to differ from you... I just think he has offered very little since he came here.. I kinda thought he was a striker... but obviously not with the amount of goals he doesn't score...

Strikers these days do more than just score goals. You can't be lazy striker and need to link play up.

Holts time at Hibs has been a success and he's played well recently. Chances are he will be here till the end of the season and may retire.

Not sure what other options we have..Keatings was injured for a while rememeber also.

Totally agree. Just wish he could knock a few goals in too.

Starts against Hearts we win 3-1
Doesn't start against St Mirren we look terrible.
Starts again today and we win 3-1 and look good.

There's a lot more to football than goals and Holts hold up play, the flick ons he wins or just being a nuisance with the defender and dummying the ball set us up many attacks today. He also had a header cleared off the line.

**HFCdeb** · 04-03-2017 05:44 PM

I love him. The most unselfish player on the pitch. He was superb today from start to finish.
