Brogue Once upon a time . I maybe standing alone , but I am yet to be convinced that Holmes is going to make the grade .
Agreed, Cooper and dickie were better than Holmes at the same age.
Gonna take a big slice of "doubt" with that. Dickie would probably have made the grade if he'd been given a chance but he barely played any football for the club at any level for those last two years, unless you were watching him at Lincoln then I'm not sure how you'd be able to judge.
Cooper was a calamity at 21, clearly had talent but made one bad mistake every game. Even today he's pretty error prone.
Holmes to me looks significantly better than Cooper. Could understand unfavourable comparisons to Dom Hyam or Tom McIntyre, but not to Cooper. He made 30 starts for us last season and never looked out of place.
