Will Crouch or Holt get the nod for England?
Will Crouch or Holt get the nod for England?

Two players doing themselves no harm whatsoever as far as Euro 2012 Odds are concerned are Peter Crouch and Grant Holt.

Peter Crouch does have plenty of international experience and a fantastic record in an England shirt, something which he has not been given enough credit for.

The Stoke striker has scored 22 goals in just 44 appearances for his national side so certainly is more than capable at the highest level.

Crouch has also been in good form for the Potters this campaign, finding the net ten times, including one of the goals of the season against Manchester City where he showed technique that some people would have doubted he had in his locker.

The former Liverpool striker is obviously a massive threat in the air and his attributes are something that international sides fear. Hodgson should take players that are appearing week in week out for their club’s and playing well. Crouch has been doing both of these.

One of the Premier League’s surprise packages this season has been Grant Holt. The Norwich captain has been colossal leading the line for his side, playing a big part in a successful campaign for The Canaries.

Those focusing on England Euro 2012 Odds should note that Holt has now scored 14 goals in the league, making him the second highest English scorer in the top flight. Considering his is not at one of the so called big clubs, this is a great achievement.

The 31-year-old is certainly a presence up front and is another striker that international teams would not be used too. Holt is not the kind of player that could play 90 minutes in every game during a tournament. However, he is an ideal substitute.

If you are taking players on form, then Norwich’s number nine deserves his place, at the age he is it would also probably be his only chance so he would be desperate to impress and prove himself.

Both Crouch and Holt have had impressive seasons and most certainly deserve their place on the plane to Poland and Ukraine this summer.
