Don’t know if it’s already been mentioned, but for their second goal Keane shouted for Holgate to leave the ball, but he went for it anyway which caused the problem!

Yeah I watched on the replay for that and he definitely shouted early for it. It was a complete mess of a mix up between the 2 of them so I dont get how people are singling out one of them.

Keane should react and not head it off Holgate but Holgate should be miles out of the way in the first place.
 
It is always nice to see your own young players develop into established first teamers. However sometimes it does not work out and talent does not meet the required standards. He is one we should get shut of if we have true aspirations to become a top club. Watford might take him when they come up.
 
He was unlucky to be the other player involved in both the goals conceded. For me he was partly to blame for the first goal as it was a strange choice to commit to the header as it took him out the game when Keane got a flick. The 2nd goal no blame is attachable in my opinion.

....we bought Holgate from Barnsley after he came through their Academy system & into their first team.
 

I don't know what the question is but right now he isn't the answer. Hopefully he kicks back into gear but right now Godfrey is twice the player.
 
Crazy this guy's fall from grace, at the start of the season everyone probably would have rated him as our best defender. What happened to him?

....never our best defender, always a squad player for me. I actually like his attitude, he grasped his opportunity when it looked like he was on his way out and he rarely lets the team down in a big game.

Problem is, he’s just ok so will eventually be found out given a run of games.

....I actually thought his part in the first goal was woeful. I wouldn’t blame him for the 2nd assuming Keane gave him a shout to leave the ball.

Fair enough, I saw it a bit differently and thought he was thrown by the flick off Keane. Tbh it's probably bias on my side as I'm not Keane's biggest fan.

....ha, ha, nor am I but I try and be balanced. Keane is strong aerially, I have no issue with him trying to win that header. Holgate assumed he was going to miss it which is poor defending. He should’ve remained upright, he should’ve been alert to a deflection.
