I agree with TPC and others. Harley needs to be played centrally not on the left. Still has the ability to contribute at League 2 level IMO. He has always had a tendency to go missing/appear not to be interested from time to time.

Can The Cheese get enough of a tune out of him ?

he would have been better putting Holmes on..
Holmes can't quite be 100% he surely would have started else.

If he was fit enough to be on the bench then he was fit enough to come on instead of Harley to play on the left.

With Liam McAlinden moving up the pecking order Holmes is going to struggle to get much game time when you have Reid and Wheeler as well.

I like Holmes however you cannot play everyone.

They are two very different players. McAlinden is a striker being asked to play wide as part of a front three today but still get his arse in the box to score goals. Holmes is a proper winger and gets chalk on his boots who wouldn't have been near as effective in the at positon in that formation as he would be playing wide in a 4-4-2 formation.

Tisdale rarely does 4 4 2, he likes the 4 - 5 - 1 or 4 - 3 - 3.

If McAlinden and Reid play I don't see Tisdale playing Holmes much.

Where does Moxey fit in ??
