Danny Hollands

[Guernsey Blue]

Out for 6-8 weeks with leg fracture.

Step forward Ben Close.......

[Weybridge]

******.

[Portchester PFC]

******, I think he was just starting to shine as well.

[Guernsey Blue]

Yes, he had starting playing well and really seemed to be fitting Cookie's system, but hey ho, a chance for someone else to prove their worth.

Wonder if this will change PC's view on letting Big Nige leave?

I doubt that as I think he doesn't see Nige developing the mental picture of the game to complement his talents. He is 26 now so not a youngster.

Just the read the piece on the Snooze website regarding Big Nige, and I found the last couple of paragraphs about Matt Tubbs interesting

The way I read it is as huge hints that Tubbs is leaving too.

[Pompey_Galactico]

With all the delay on lavery being confirmed I'm starting to wonder if we are trying to move on tubbs. Allowing us to sign lavery on a permanent basis. Sure I read he is out of Contract in the summer at Sheffield.

If this is the case I would be happy with it.

[Pompey_Galactico]

It's a shame for Hollands but I am keen to see young Ben close play ahead of him. Hopefully this is his chance.

[Earl Grey]

Mmm. Danny, since his improvement lately, has been one of the few players capable of putting in the long, 'Hollywood' pass which is good to have in your armoury. Also a long-throw specialist if needed.

Still, Ben Close is a great substitute to have and Atangana is always going to put in a shift. Don't forget Barton, too.

Also a long-throw specialist if needed.

Whatever happened to Hollands' long throw? It was a big part of Awford's turnaround of the Pompey team in 2014, then was overused in the early part of 2014-15 and has since disappeared. I don't think I have seen it once under Cook. It does offer some variety, especially as we are not very good at ordinary throw-ins.

I was wondering exactly the same recently. I'd say the odd one of his long throw ins would be just as dangerous as the majority of Ben Davies' corners!
