He looked better today in the few minutes he was on than he has on any previous occassion. However, I do not see him or Barnes come to that, as the men to shoot us to promotion.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO early to write him off

He is clearly a fairly competent footballer. Confidence completely shot at though, unfortunately.

He needs a goal or two. He,s not going to shoot us to promotion, but neither are Murray or Barnes. We need a hit man as soon as possible.

i really wish people would get off his back, we will end up destroying him otherwise.
it happened with Davies and going back a few years, if the web had been more advanced, i shudder to think what would have become of Kurt Nogan, he was awful until one really did go in off his arse against Bournemouth if i remember rightly, then he couldnt stop scoring

Looked fairly good today, but then again, who didn't?
I hope he has a good season, because we can't solely rely on Barnes and Murray.

I doubt that unless we get some injury problems he won't get much of a chance.

Give the kid a break. He'll be fine

Peace out.
I think Holroyd is a winger and not a striker because he just cannot finish but works his arse off.

Haven't seen enough of him to judge properly but from what I have seen he seems technically competent.
Wouldn't want to give him a chance in a league game unless its the last 30 minutes of a match, though.
Let him start in the JPT/League cup games.

Agreed. But I can't see how is he going to get them.

I really want him to do the business for the Albion, however, my heart says one thing and my head another.
The guy hasn't scored a goal for a year, even in the reserves - and he is a forward!!
He doesn't even get into positions when he could score a goal!!!
I remember Richard Tiltman, who was utter useless, but at least he got into goal scoring positions. Holroyd cannot even do this.
From what I hear from my one insider at the club, is that his confidence is low, hence why the manager & coaching staff keep giving him chances. Poyet doesn't want to lose face as Holroyd is his man - however, our young manager needs to learn the lesson, that even the best manager's make poor decisions occasionally.
I honestly believe that Holroyd wouldn't get into a League 2 team or most Blue Square Premier sides right now. There is one thing playing him at the end of a season when we couldn't go up or down, however, this year better things are expected.
I would even put Hart on as a centre forward in preference, right now.
Despite our lack of depth in forwards, I would loan Holroyd out right now - to stop the manager being tempted to play him.

Errrrm.
Wrong. He does get in to chances. Often, he's playing off the last man waiting for a ball that he can use his blistering pace on. He just didn't get it quite often last season. I won't comment on the rest, but that point about him not getting in to chances/places he can run in to is utter bullshit.

Holroyd must know that this is the big chance for him.If he can accept this,after a poor start ,we will have a player ! Perhaps its Zero to Hero in his case ! (Kurt Nogan,had this problem......and he came good )
