Amid the clutter of
Stuart Holden debuts at Bolton


On the one hand, launching your career in a 4-0 loss is hardly ideal. Tottenham spanked
On the other hand, Holden received some pretty solid reviews. If you get a 6 (scale of 10) on a night when your team has been clobbered by four goals, you must have done something right.
Here are a couple of reports on Holden’s outing, one from The Daily Mail (it has ratings included), one from Goal.com and one from The Guardian. (The last one really doesn't say anything about Holden; but since I took the time to find it, there 'tis for ya.)
Bottom line: it’s a little like going out on a first date and having a pretty good time – before your girl finishes the night attached to a toilet, throwing up due to bad clams. Even if wasn’t your fault, there might be a bit of bad association to overcome.
