From Holt - he's more of a provider than a scorer now. Wanders out to the wings, stays

out of the area too much. He's a great crosser and a very clever player. Also, EB is much better than Pilks IMO (on precious little evidence, I admit). The reason we've been so cautious is that we've dropped deep, and the wingers have to follow. And because we have no-one up for an attack on the break, we lump the ball up and it comes straight back, driving us even deeper. With Becchio as CF and Holt in and around, I can see us being able to play the ball out.
