Markspark92 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Tough one, depends if the money we get for him would help us get Doyle, don’t think we’d be making a profit on him, decent squad player his hold up play is superb and good player to bring on off the bench when Davies tires, another 2 assists tonight, he’s not a goal scorer but as long as he contributes in other ways then why complain about his goals record ? Strange if we replace him with JCH who is a bit more mobile but similar goals record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP changed Matt Smiths career, I wish he could do the same with Holloway You said it yourself...the perfect foil...a contrast in that he assists rather than score. If he persists in teeing-up Davies to score, then the partnership works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored twice against Liverpool while Dickov was still manager. It was the Everton cup game where Philliskirk was in charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the Everton cup game where Philliskirk was in charge. Philliskirk joined the coaching staff before the Forest game. Smith was man of the match. Won't mention the own goal. I recall an interview with Philliskirk with him saying he'd coached Smith to "get a run on the ball" when crosses come in. Two minutes into the game against Liverpool he did. Injury time against Everton he did. I don't think TP would have picked Iwelumo at Goodison if Smith had been 100% fit. I don't think it's a coincidence that Matt Smith improved markedly under the guidance of a striker like Philliskirk. Equally, Gerry Taggart (who left before the Forest game) was a training ground advocate of the looping header. Simpson at Forest and Wabara against Liverpool were, perhaps, down his influence.

TheBigDog Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Holloway is a decent footballer who needs to be more selfish if he is going to score goals. i like the guy and he certainly turned it around last night. work with him Latics- there is a decent striker in there.
