Is that the same thing as holding on to a lead?

I have no doubt that his teams are good when they are forced to attack and try to score goals, but not so much when trying to close a game out.

Birmingham away play off semi final second leg is a good example, comfortably 2-0 up but Birmingham pegged them back to 2-2, Redmond almost took the game to extra time. Blackpool were lucky to get to the play off final despite being 3-0 up on aggregate, it's things like that which worry me about Holloway, along with some of his mediocre signings.
