I understand Jackson logic

In that he wanted someone with pace who could maybe counter and stretch stoke. But it didnt really work that way because they smashed the ball up to him and he never really got hold of him. Holt was just absolutely shattered from 80mins.

Easy to say these things in hindsight so I don't want to point fingers. Proud of the performance and how we defended. We're always a better team with Wes in it though. I think his defensive game is sorely underappreciated, and he can keep the ball stuck to his foot like velcro.

        He did well today (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 22, 01:05:46
        
        He did but I just think we have better options long term. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Aug 22, 01:07:55
    - Holt was blowing out his arse, put in a right shift. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Aug 22, 00:52:46
      - Dunno if this out of order, but holt was blowing chunks about 65minutes in at Wigan last w (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 22, 00:56:32
        
        Today was different (NCFC) - pants, Aug 22, 00:57:55
        
        TBH I think Holt will slowly be phased out of the team this season (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Aug 22, 01:06:45
        
        He was a bit like that last season, remember the Swansea home game (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 22, 00:57:42

      - This. Wes can do the fancy stuff and get stuck in (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Aug 22, 00:54:40
        
        Yup I thought it was calling out for a Fox type player who can put his foot on it (NCFC) - Only1Doherty, Aug 22, 00:58:32
        
        agree about Wes, even though I felt he was well below par last week (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 22, 00:56:35
