Howard has looked very poor, and you have to blame Hollaway.
He rates him as the best stricker in the div, I assume with coming out with that statement he knows all his strenghs and weaknesses and knew what he was buying.
(MON watched/ had elliot watched that many times 'he knew what he had for breakfast each day')
He got 19 goals for derby somehow and its clearly not by how we are playing.
Suggest ollie buys a job lot of derby dvds
We had the same problem with pleat when he bought jimmy quinn
I would imagine Holloway bought him on the basis of previous performance in the division and Derby sent out the word that he could be available.
It's unlikely that he was watched much on those occasions he played in the premiership and the conclusion would have been that he could hack it in a lower league.
I have to say that it looked a sensible signing and you would have thought that there was a good chance that he would knock in a few to help get us clear of relegation.
We shall soon see if Holloway's and the Mercury's claims that we are playing great football and just not getting any luck have any foundation. Let's hope that they are least nearly right. It's very difficult to suggest who should be playing up front for us at this stage but the big (for us) money has gone on Howard and DJ so maybe they have to take responsibility with Hume fitting in somewhere.
