Ricky Holmes

[Nick Jansky]

Thought he did really well when he came on, certainly stood out more than Duffy. With a Full Pre Season under his belt we may begin to see why CW was so keen to sign him.

 

[BigBed]

Brooks replacement sorted.

 

[bettsyblade86]

For real?

 

[dazzlingblade]

I'm going to say it, I think he will be our surprise package this season, I fancy him to force his way in, but then again I generally know fuck all, so I expect him to be playing for yeovil by January

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

For real?

That he looked very good when he came on....

Errr yeah, 'for real'.

Steady now

 

[8lade]

True to say that Duffy didn't make an impact but neither did Holmes. The lad Sharp looked ok, seems to know what he's doing with a ball.

 

[Iceybabey]

Linked up well with Sharp, who also did well when he came.

 

[Rob86]

Looked better than Duffy who was awful, but it is pre-season so I’ll not get too wound up. If his and Duffy’s performances have been like that through pre-season (not seem fuck all other than tonight), then he starts.

 

[fintious maximus]

He was good tonight. Good pace and looked menacing - bit of a handful

 

[robbiez666]

He didn't exactly do a great amount. But, he looked more up for it than anyone else. He certainly wants it.

Ooh err.

 

[Iceybabey]

Ooh err.

On

 

[Eric Cartman]

Looked great against Maritimo too

 

[spongebobblade]

Duffy was excellent against Bradford and far better than Holmes....... it’s just pre season and hopefully they will keep each other on there toes and both play a part

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

A run of games and Holmes could be a strong asset. Very impressed with him tonight.

 

[Bladezz]

Thought he was excellent. He’s a match winner that may become frustrating as he is so direct. A great option for us and a very good player.

 

[Minty]

Seems to have gained some bulk since last season.....was impressed with him tonight.

Big season for him. Said it a few weeks ago.

It's hard coming into a settled side mid season, especially as a midfield player. Pre-season becomes a level playing field and offers him a chance to force his way in.

Fleck had a great game BTW. Hope Inter do t bid for him

 

[sitwell]

Holmes has come on in each of the friendlies and livened the game up ,he needs a chance ,people seem to want to write him off after a few 15 minute slots. Duffy was good against Bradford. Lundstram is the one that worries me,and Wilder I reckon if that bollocking tonight was anything to go by.

 

[bladesmanluke]

A few hospital passes as usual from him, but he was involved in everything good going forward when he came on

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I like him, late on, like an unguided missile that rattles defences.

Both Holmes & Duffy can only last 30 minutes of each game stamina wise. So this is the reason Chris W can only play them for 30 mins. If they could cope with longer they would have cost money. There is always a reason free gifts are free gifts !

As long as you don't expect him to have the stamina for more than 30 minutes..

 

[Grappler]

Thought Holmes looked good when came on, always shouting for the ball, ran at people, pace!

Depends what we need in a game pal, he was the only muscle we had in the middle of the park tonight

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

He looks good tonight. He's not quite on everyone else's wavelength as yet, but that will come.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Looked physically stronger last night, mentally well up for it too. Shouting for the ball, finding space, prepared to run at players. Needs to get more game time with the team, to REALLY click, but I reckon he could come good. Need him to step up really, as we could do with some consistent, creative spark in the final third and it'd be nice to not need to buy another player to provide that.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Holmes excites brings something different to the table always looking to unlock the inter defence. Was hoping we would get a free kick outside the box while he was on the field he’s the next Borbokis with the dead ball. Will prove to be an ideal replacement for Brooks

Well by my calculation then we are foooooked for the other 30 minutes of the game.
