Holt would be terrible in this team the way we play

We hardly put any crosses in, the build up play is largely too slow and we rarely create opportunities inside the area - in terms of ricochets or scrappy periods of play - all things that Holt thrived on. We have no runners in behind for flick-ons and the main role of the striker is to run around a lot and hold the ball up on the edge of the final third.

In general that is, today was a bit different and much more encouraging in the first half. I thought Oliveira was excellent in the first half: he held the ball up superbly, created some chances with good passes and came close to scoring with a good effort.
