Not really. Both players who were excellent...

servants for the club, played a huge part in getting us promoted. Both midfielders whose main attributes were their work rate, commitment and ability to break up play rather than their passing ability.

In many ways its a compliment as Holt was a great player for Norwich. In the prem, however, games tended to pass him by a little bit as the ball is moved so quickly and i feel the same is happening with Crofts (or at least does when he plays on the right of the diamond - maybe he would be better as the holding player).

  - Not really. Both players who were excellent... (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 2, 11:14:56
