Turnberry18 3,204 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think it would be good if he was on the team sheet tonight. When he came on against Peterhead he had an impact on the game; it was evident that he brings others into the play, and he looks the kind of player that others in a team like playing alongside because he opens up options going forward, and we began to find more options in attack when he came on. I think we will see this guy become a big player for us this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Thought Shiels did well, moved the ball well, got into the box and should have scored when Waghorn dummied it, but thought Holt didn't deserve to be dropped initially. It's as tough as it's ever been to get in that midfield IMO, Murdoch, Law, Shiels, Halliday and Holt, it's a strong part of our squad. Eustace to come in too.Think our middle three, especially Halliday, have been superb so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that we have so many options, but I think this player in particular could be a telling factor this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_r_sole 366 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 i think he's just trying to find the right blend in there at the moment, maybe we'll see law missing out tonight at the start?assuming that the midfield is going to be where the formation and tactics are adjusted by personnel this season given the number of options we have in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Think the guy is going to be a star for us, reminds me a lot of Jack Wilshere the way he plays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I've got a mate who is a season ticket holder at hearts. When we signed Holt he said give him time to settle in and you will love him. Actually said that when he plays centrally that he reminded him of a young Barry Ferguson. I've been impressed so far, hopefully he keeps up the standard and performance levels we have seen so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Holt and Halliday will be great midfielders for us over the next 2-3 seasons. Just hope with add Allan and we could have brilliant middle of the park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,442 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Excellent since he has been signed did not deserve to get dropped last game but dont think that was down to performance just MW trying something else. Expect him to start tonight ahead of sheils would be the only change i would make on last weeks team sheet. Sheils has been decent tho i must say and good squad player and also a good sub to bring on like in the hibs game would just start holt instead than wack sheils on when we need some more legs in midfield thought he was excellent coming on against hibs and was decent last game just think holt is a better attacking option.

ThatNightInFlorence 696 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I must say I didn't think he would add anything but I've been impressed from what I've saw. Very intelligent player and gets stuck in as well which is always good to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Holt looks a good signing. The type of player who can settle a team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He's a bit lightweight. When the keeper was flapping kicks against Hibs Holt gave him a right bollocking too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,235 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I like him think hes a steal for the price we paid. Andy Halliday though is by far our best player. Reminds me of a left footed Barry Ferguson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Holts a good wee player, comfortable on the ball and he's a good passer. Holt in for Shiels tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG5 11,766 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Bearing in mind MW said the Peterhead game was completing our pre-season, I wouldn't read too much into him being omitted from the start on Sunday.It's all about finding a blend, so someone has to make way until he settles on what he wants.

stuvah 146 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I had no idea what to think about him when he first signed but I think he will be an important player for us this season, I also think he has the potential to be a very good player in the future.

EastEnclosureBear 2,994 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Been impressed, didn't think too much of him before the Burnley game but decent tidy young player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,961 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have no idea why people are so sure about Jordan Thomson ffs, people haven't even seen him in action yet people want him to be jumping straight into the starting line up. I'm not saying he isn't good enough but I am bewildered at where this assurity comes from regarding him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
