Agree with that, we've missed a Dewsbury-Hall type player and became overloaded with Stewart, Dougall, Robson, Williams type players. Virtue who's a more forward thinking player isn't a play maker.
After booting out Hardie and Nuttall, we never properly replaced them. We've had Yates and Madine, although i think NC, didn't want to play Madine originally. Although Simms has come in, with no other down the middle player and Madine injured, we have limited options to change up front.
Although i've never seen him play, have no idea what he's like, Holmes obviously has a goal in him and with the amount of subs we can make, would he be worth a punt on the bench ?
