My thoughts on Holmes' 40mins against West Brom
He's not a winger and looks very uncomfortable there
Doesn't know when and where to arrive in the box on crosses
Doesn't know when to tuck in or press on defense
Bad give aways in bad spots
Wasted Derby's best chance of the game being too casual on a 1 touch opportunity
He tried to turn under pressure in bad areas and passed back with no pressure in good areas
I believe in this kid but that was awful
At his worst I still rather see him than a Roldan or Lletget

I thought Holmes paired well with Sargent when they had the chance. Our offense looked lively. This is also why I am against playing players out of their club position, unless it is an emergency situation.

IMO he's still likely only a transitional player destined to become a back-up once Ledezma and/or Mendez start getting 1st team minutes @ CM, or Reyna/Weah at the wide attacking positions. However with his ability to cover multiple positions and his ability to play physically when necessary will still be a nice option to have when playing some of our opponents in CONCACAF.
