Lambert hails Holt return

02 August 2010 11:00
Manager Paul Lambert believes the return to fitness of Grant Holt will give Norwich a huge lift ahead of the npower Championship season. Holt missed the last few games of last season with an ankle injury and had also been struggling with a thigh injury but came on as a late replacement during Saturday`s 4-2 defeat to Everton. Lambert said: "He came on and he had about three chances. He might lack a bit of finesse but he has got a terrific desire to score a goal and that's why he is an important player for us. "He has got a great desire to get in the box and he's a huge player, so it was great to have him back. "I think when you play with players like that besides you it tends to make you think that you've got to go and do it yourself. "I am delighted and I think we are more than ready for Friday against Watford. You can never promise anything in football or guarantee it but we will be more than ready for the game."
