Holly has been rubbish on 20:25 - Oct 20 with 2827 views | LankHenners | Did his best Will Norris impression with that one. His distribution has been woeful though and that goal was going to happen sooner rather than later this season trying to pass around our own box with a ‘keeper and CB pairing not at all comfortable with it. | |

Holly has been rubbish on 20:27 - Oct 20 with 2772 views | FrimleyBlue | What is it with GK and defenders playing tippy tappy. Defend and stop goals going in. Kick it and let the the midfield and strikers use the ball. Even in the top league I hate watching defenders passing it around the back. Causes alot of problems even more so when you haven't got the players comfortable at doing it. | |

He really is a very average keeper | | | |

Our defence has been decent up till this game... at defending. The very idea that this back four and Holy can pass it around to tempt teams to come on to them is laughable. And that has always been the case regardless of our general play. It's delusional, and I'm not going to blame the players for this. They are what they are ffs. | |

This has always made me nervous about playing this way, I don't think Holy is good enough with his feet to make it a reality. So much relies on his distribution and while he's got other attributes, that isn't one of them. | |

I can't remember the likes of Wright. Mowbray. Venus. Pissing about with it at the back | |

To be fair I thought he was unlucky with the second - it was a fluke, he was expecting someone to head the ball which would change the trajectory but it never came | |

Nothing wrong with it at all. IF you can do it, and we can't. Don't have the players for it. | |

Nah, balls come through a pack of players all the time, can't get caught like that, not a ball hit at that pace. | |

Holly has been rubbish on 21:11 - Oct 20 with 2461 views | rattram | 3 bad goals conceded, but Holy had at least 3 excellent saves on Saturday. Playing out from the back would make sense if we had the players with the confidence (and ability) to do it. | | | |

Do we have the players to play the long ball game though? Particularly without Hawkins. | |

Only problem with kicking it long is we had no one until Hawkins came on who looked liked they could win anything in the air. | | | |

The importance of Hawkins is becoming - he allows us to compete for a long ball and can bring other players into the game. | |

Holly has been rubbish on 12:41 - Oct 21 with 2071 views | radiogaga | Holy was rubbish yesterday. The 2nd goal is a funny one but it's poor positioning nonetheless, the 4th goal was pathetic having passed it to their player and the shot was hardly in the corner either. He also got away with an even worse mistake in the first half when he inexplicably floated it to one of their one of their attackers from 18 yards out. It brings us back to the Cornell error against Spurs in pre season though, are we good enough to be passing the ball out from the back on a frequent basis? With yesterday's back 5, clearly it is a no. | |

It's true we don't, but there is a time when you have to just go long, even if it just goes out of play, the 4th was an example, teams will press us high in numbers when they see that last night, then Lambo says "blame me" which should worry all of us because if he can't see it then we have no hope... Christy Pym is the keeper we should have got...all round game is top notch.. | | | |
Holly has been rubbish on 17:24 - Oct 21 with 1975 views | Swansea_Blue | I still can't get over us having someone called Holy the goalie. Makes me chuckle every time the commentator says his name (we've already established I need to get out more). | |

The defence is too deep, as soon as it passes over the defenders which they should’ve done better with, Holy has got little time to react when it bounced through. He probably needed to push them higher up soon as that ball was played to the Donny player who crossed it in. | |
