Holt wants Hoolahan further forward

22 September 2009 14:05
Hoolahan appeared to be heading for the Carrow Road exit door after failing to feature in the starting line-up under new boss Paul Lambert. But the former Scotland international picked Hoolahan from the start for the first time in the league for Saturday's home clash with Charlton and the 27-year-old, playing in a role just behind Holt, responded with a man-of-the-match display. Hoolahan hauled Norwich back in the game just before half-time after they trailed 2-0 before Holt headed home an injury-time equaliser to earn the Canaries a well-deserved point. Holt told the Eastern Daily Press: "Everyone knows what Wes Hoolahan can do. If you give him time and give him space he's an absolute threat - but then the other side that Wes gives you sometimes is he will give the ball away in areas he shouldn't. "The position he played in (against Charlton), I think the manager's looking to play him there a little bit more, so he's further up the pitch and hurting other people rather than hurting ourselves."
