Holman on loan to Borehamwood - Missed Opportunity...

[TomWAFC]

On a 93 day loan, pretty gutted we have missed out here.

He is a finisher. We don't create chances to finish.

We need a big target man. And that's who we are probably looking for. Not another light weight.

Which way is he facing this year?

We don't need a Holman we need a Danny wright

[Red Light]

Different manager I know but after the way he was treated the last time he was here (starved of match time) would he want to return ?
Looking at the distances and travelling time assuming he lives in the Cheltenham area there's little difference between us and Boreham Wood.
I sometimes wonder if the massive overhaul of players in the last few years goes against us too.
Additionally I think Cheltenham have brought in a couple if not more of young more mobile pacey forwards so perhaps this is the first step towards the exit door - but is he what we need at the moment ? I feel we need something different - Gimme Toure, big, athletic, pacey BUT with the ability to hold the ball up, pitch a few goals in and make goals for others - I have big hopes for Holroyd as he is our only real hope at the moment - Massanka and Reid are not physical and nasty enough - Boden has a delightful first touch but lacks any strength against big National League centre halves - perhaps not him but a Jon Parkin type who can rough it up and unsettle defenders - something different to our current forwards who, with the exception of a ring rusty Holroyd look like they have been made in the same factory mould as regards style of play.

Matt Rhead fits the bill perfectly.

Big, nasty, horrible to defend against, holds the ball up and chips in with a few goals.

What we wouldn't give for him right now

Personally I wouldn't want him unless we found a way to play decent football. RP posters have caught on to the phrase 'hoofball' to describe Wxm's style, but put Rhead up top and then I reckon we would see more long balls for Rhead to scrap for and some ugly tactics. I would rather have a Danny Wright or even a Connor Jennings alongside a goal scorer.

I have no issue with hoofball if it wins us games, and when you have a striker who cam get hold of it more often than not, like Rhead, then what's not to like?
