    Why is that his position, because he played there with Livingston when he was a teenager?

    Since he left them he's been a full back at Middlesborough and Blackpool, one of the two holding players in a 4-2-3-1 at Bradford and he's been a holding midfielder and centre midfielder since he came to us.

    To me, Halliday is a jack of all trades, but a master of none and I don't mean that as a negative at all.

    For me he is the type of player thats vital to have in a squad , especially if you want to win things , wont command a starting position once were up too full speed but can fill a cpl of positions well when we have suspensions , injuries or players need a bit of a rest

    Great! i'm happy to hear you were at the game so you too must have seen some of the big tackles Barton put in to stop players like Johnson and Mcdonald from breaking against us in the second half and who won the ball back for Niko to make them passes? Barton was the one working hard and winning the ball back high up the field, his first half was shocking as was everybody's but in the second half he kept us going till the final whistle because he's a leader and a presence on the pitch.

    Anyway, It's clear we'll never agree so there's no point continuing besides neither can hold a candle to young Rossiter who was a class above both of them yesterday.

    On that last part we can agree , and i will repeat what i said in the barton thread , as the season goes on then his qualities will undoubtedly show through and he will prob be our best mf , my views are taking yesterdays game in isolation as i think we need to deal with 1 game at a time

    At least try and tell me how mate, were you even watching the game yesterday? Barton was getting the crowd up for it with the challenges he was making and helped the team going forward. What did Halliday do apart from miss 2 sitters? Which is apparently a good thing to you.

    Yes i was fucking there too so dont start yer shite , i cant debate with stupid , i have explained my views , and getting dragged down 3 yards out as he is about to nod into the goal isnt missing a sitter , and yeah if barton shouting and pointing is making a difference then yeah he was best , actually making a difference going foward is what niko done by actually making runs and passes

    Powder puff challenges? He was getting right stuck in and made the interception that led to our winner also stopping a few dangerous counterattacks in the second half, he also led the team on the park and was barking out orders trying to make them work harder for the ball, I'm not saying he didn't misplace any passes because he did and he wasn't at his best but he contributed far more than Halliday.

    I will repeat , complete and utter nonsense

    I was sat right in front of the 2 goals he should have had, 6 yards out no keeper and he missed both you've made my point for me there. That's not even mentioning how much better barton looked when he went off strengthening my point that he brings the players around him down.

    Complete and utter nonsense , barton was average at best yesterday and your apparent hatred of halliday is clearly clouding your judgement on his performance while bartons reputation is allowing his poor passes and powderpuff challanges go unnoticed

    Don't give a fuck if people like Kiernan or not tbh mate but that seems to be what everyone says when I mention Halliday being shite, have yet to see anyone say what he's contributed so far this season.

    He was our best midfielder yesterday and looked our biggest goal threat and it should have been barton that came off , he nearly got 2 goals in the first 10 mins of the second half and looked like he was denied a stonewall pen

    Would Miller have scored those though? Why was Miller not in those positions?

    Ha ha dont get me started on miller and him not being in the box , i wouldnt have halliday in my team all being well and i think barton will go on to show his quality this season but my subs yesterday would have been barton , miller , mckay for niko, dodoo , o'halloran

    You obviously haven't watched the game Halliday contributed fuck all the same as McKay. Windass, holt , Kranjar should all be starting infront of Halliday 

    Nonsense , he nearly got 2 goals and looked like he was denied a stonewaller in the first 10 mins of the second half , you do realise windass and holt are injured

    We're playing without a CF, because he goes everywhere but there. It's like Craig Levine's 4-6-0. 

    The game changed when Dodoo came on and stuck to his position. 

    Spot on , its frustrating as fuck to see our cf drop 40 yards from goal to play a 5 yard pass when we have 3 cm playing , or when he comes onto the left wing and him,mckay,wallace stand 5 yards apart play about 4 passes with none of them moving so then its passed into midfield anyway

    We need to play our part,  and getting on players backs or booing, does not help the cause.  For some players it can be counter productive and make them hide from the ball.  The manager will tell them in no uncertain terms if they are shite

    If any of our players are so mentally weak that they go into hiding after a little bit of booing then the sooner we discover them and remove them the better as they arent cut out for our club 

  11. I thought he was the poorest of the midfield 3 today , rossiter was doing the majority of the tackling and halliday was the 1 trying to get into the box , looks like he is running through treacle at times too
