Holt doesn't look the same player alone up front

Last season Morison played there in almost every game where we started with one up top.

Been away so first chance to comment on Saturday (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 2, 15:17:35
- If the alternative to what we have now is a Villa or QPR-style all-out attack "unlucky" (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 15:46:53
  - compare the attacking talent of our squad with Villa and QPR (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 2, 18:30:34
  - The main problem as I see it, is Hughton is happy as long as we are drawing (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:04:47
  - That's bullshit to be fair. Most people just want us to at least go forward a bit more (NCFC) - Hulk Rules, Apr 2, 15:55:34
  - It doesn't have to be one or the other though (NCFC) - Jim, Apr 2, 15:54:51
    - It ought to, but it depends on how versatile your players are, the quality of the oppositi (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:04:22
      - We did it last season (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:16:14
        
        PL is much harder this season, much tougher opposition (NCFC) - usacanary, Apr 2, 18:33:47
        
        Saturday as I keep saying is make or break (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:26:32
        
        If we lose on Saturday it will be a disgrace (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:39:31
        
        The bedwetters? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Apr 2, 19:10:55
        
        I was confident we'd do Wigan (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 2, 16:53:10
        
        Away teams not turning up is what has so many sides with their heads above the water (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:55:28
        
        Yeah, to be fair hardly anyone's looked good at CR (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:56:17
        
        it is a very shit league (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:57:56
        
        Just Liverpool and Chelsea really (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 2, 16:57:23
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:57:56
        
        Very true (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 2, 16:56:13
        
        a pre-seethe!. Personally I'm keeping my powder dry. (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:48:19
        
        haha yes! (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:49:04
        
        Gotta have a chance against a side already looking to the summer holidays (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:41:33
        
        Finally a tiny glimpse of reality (NCFC) - Old Git, Apr 2, 16:37:06
        
        Lose Saturday and we could be in real shit, Arsenal away next (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:39:25
        
        So it's a must-not-lose then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:42:59
        
        Home to Reading and WBA who will have nothing to play for (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:52:03
        
        Nothing to play for: (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:54:22
        
        nothing to play for away is always a bit different (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:56:43
        
        Like Villa last season (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:57:30
        
        Yes, win Saturday and we can breathe relatively easily (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:30:21
        
        Agreed. But it's always more difficult in the second season - there's more at stake. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:23:11
        
        Holt has had a nightmare in his last 3 sub appearances (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:27:08
        
        I'd start him though (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:31:07
        
        Yeah I think we have to play him against Swansea (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:33:10
        
        Holt doesn't look the same player alone up front (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:25:11
        
        It's not that though - he hasn't suddenly come to life when he's had a partner (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:30:45
        
        Struggling for form, playing in a side not suited to him (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:37:52
        
        We never had an alternative tbf - Hoots should have addressed that. (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:41:52
        
        True that, none of the others are good enough. (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:43:45
        
        I always felt Jackson did well in the diamond alongside Holt (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:46:51
        
        He is a good little player, and offers something different (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:59:48
        
        You can't say that,Loz has decided that he's fucking shite... (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Apr 2, 16:51:21
        
        Not a prolific goal scorer though (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:51:09
        
        But we scored goals at difficult places with him in the team (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 16:52:22
        
        Yep, agreed. But he needs a goal-scorer to work alongside, so he's no alternative to Holt (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Apr 2, 16:58:34
        
        agree, he looked really good on occasion (n/m) (NCFC) - fal5taff, Apr 2, 16:48:05
        
        Hardly had a kick, like Fox (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 16:50:39
        
        yup, what i don't get is fox new contract. double-think on hughton's part... (n/m) (NCFC) - fal5taff, Apr 2, 16:59:29
        
        Probably agreed by Lambert? (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 2, 17:00:23
        
        Hoots picks the central midfield for their defensive abilities, not Fox's forte (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 17:02:22
        
        NO. The best form of defence is to keep the ball (NCFC) - Brandonio, Apr 2, 17:04:36
        
        Agree 100% and said something similar on the Oink 'un this weekend (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 18:31:47
        
        is the only logical explanation i suppose... (n/m) (NCFC) - fal5taff, Apr 2, 17:01:00
        
        No arguably about it. Clearly a less talented side. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 2, 16:21:25
- spot on (n/m) (NCFC) - ede, Apr 2, 15:21:34
- well said but 5 draws will comfortably do (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 2, 15:20:59
  - % comfortably, 3 will be enough. Important thing is to avoid losing (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Apr 2, 15:27:47
    - %??? - *5* (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Apr 2, 15:28:28
      - brom knew (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 2, 15:28:39
