not really good enough0

I thought a train down to the training ground and a contract signing was the normal?Dylan100 said:Hasn't featured in the team since august. Now on his way to Portsmouth, what happened?

Jokes about the best route to Portsmouth say it all really. Thought he looked okay in the League One title winning season, never made the jump0
-
To be fair, he looked more than okay in the promotion season. I agree that he didn't make the jump, but he's surely too good for the bottom of div 4.2

Portsmouth? ... surely he deserves better than this0

Unfortunately football is ruthless...0

Danny Hollands is the sort of player who can definitely help Portsmouth to better things. He was more than ok in our promotion season and was a key man breaking up play and scoring some very timely goals. With Poyet and Cousins looking so accomplished, he isn't going to get near the 1st XI, although I'm certain he wouldn't let us down if he was in the team. Brentford have just recalled Diagouraga from Portsmouth, so they've got themselves a really decent replacement straight away. I'm sure all Charlton supporters will wish him the best for the future....he did well for us.14

That is surely the last we will see of Danny at the Valley. He did very well for us in league 1 and I'm sure he has a few years left in him at that level. Hopefully he will do well for Portsmouth and get a new contract somewhere better in the summer. I certainly wish him all the best in both his football and personal life in the future.2

We had too many slow and similar midfielders in Jackson, Stephens and Green. First two were/are better players and Green played elsewhere in midfield.
Might have made the step up with different players around him, but I'm not convinced he's good enough with the rest of his game to make up for the lack of pace at Championship level.1 -
I'm surprised a L1 team didn't go for him. In my opinion he would have been perfect for Orient.2
-
Was never the same after those triplets.2
-
He had the triplets about a month into joining us. He was quality in our league 1 promotion season1
-
He was good at Swindon he should shine at Pompey1
-
Sullivan, Moutaukil, Racon and Hollands all at Pompey now.1
-
Think it was a bit more than that. He had a great spell alongside Andy Hughes in midfield when he scored a respectable number of goals before the triplets. His form dipped and everyone thought it was lack of sleep. and he'd soon pick up, but he never did. Never seemed to work well with Stephens together.Nicholas said:He had the triplets about a month into joining us. He was quality in our league 1 promotion season

Not a bad move if he still has family in Bournemouth0

How long before LLera and Semedo join them?The Red Robin said:Sullivan, Moutaukil, Racon and Hollands all at Pompey now.

Think it was more to do with his toe operation than the triplets1

Agree though his best spell was alongside Hughes, then for some reason Hughes was dropped for Russell and Hollands never really looked a goal threat anymore

Wish him all the best. Real trier and never less than 100% from the lad. Was decent in League one, surprised he has had to drop to league 2 for aclub.0
-
That's what I thought. Didn't the operation involve fusing the bone, so his toe wouldn't bend? If so, that's quite an obstacle to get over when you make your living with your feet.............crookester said:Think it was more to do with his toe operation than the triplets

If he had pace, he'd be a decent Championship midfielder0 -
Liked him just as I did all of the record breaking L1 Champions squad. No nonsense got stuck in, could head a ball but pace was the issue not to mention the operation on his big toe which had to be fused. Never quite the same after that and he was not one to bench warm so CP sent him on loan to Swindon. Would like to have been a fly on the wall when Danny went in to discuss it with him. Thank you Danny Hollands for your contribution to a very special season in history of our club and all the very best for the future.4

Far too good for Portsmouth3

Will end up in League 1. Possibly at one of our relegation rivals.1
-
Yeah that's my recollection. Good luck Danny, one of the best players during our promotion season.tangoflash said:

A proper unsung hero of the promotion season, really thought that he was one of the ones who'd find it easiest to make the step up a level, certainly way too good for Div 4.2
