"I'm always wary of "fans" who default to wages as the first point of criticism". That is what you said in December.

There's no doubt that the guarantee of increased wages over a longer time was a contributing factor. We need to be realistic about that and there's nothing wrong with him doing so. Moving for financial reasons doesn't mean you can't give your all.

I wasn't critical of him 🤣🤣

Wages were a major factor in Holt taking the transfer. That's just a fact.

That wee comment I made still stinging you into the New Year?

I read this recently in the Journal:

​TIERNAN Lynch wants to 'get fans off their seats' and the Derry City boss is confident he’s signed players who share the Brandywell club's attacking DNA.

​The Belfast man is expecting his team to bring 'excitement' and put smiles on the faces of the City fans this season with the attacking adventure he believes is engrained in the fabric of the Lone Moor Road club.

Explosive wingers, players taking risks and bombarding the opposition box with crosses is how his team look to embody the true spirit of Derry City and he believes he's got a DNA match with some of his new recruits.

Any update on the injury that kept Holt out of the Sligo game?

When he landed on Saturday his arm visibly flopped. Looked worse than it probably is.

Diallo had an operation on the fracture. Lynch said yesterday he was out for a few weeks but couldn't recall the exact timeline.
