All too often when the opposition breaks away we only have the two CB's defending. With our game plan of attacking FB's I'd have thought that the DM should be helping them out a bit more. Being played outwith his natural position , I'd say he's been average this season. The question is , is once we get a natural DM in the team where does he fit in ? I think Holt and Law are ahead of him as things stand and it also looks like a position we're going to strengthen in the summer , so it will be interesting to see how MW utilises him . Law ahead of Halliday? Get that so far to fuck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Personally I think Halliday has been solid for us this season, he does the graft that goes unnoticed a lot of the time and his link up play in generally good, as is his breaking up of play when opponents have the ball. He wasn't at his best yesterday but neither were others also, but back on point I think he will be a mainstay in the side going forward for a good few years and we have yet to see him at his best in a more ataking role, which I'm positive we will see soon.

But his stats suggest he's done well for us over the last 3 seasons scoring 25 goals in his first 2 seasons alone from midfield , or do his stats not matter ? I wasn't the one who wanted to compare Halliday with Law. One has been here 8 months contributing goals, assists, while working hard for the team in an unfamiliar position and earned a new long term contract from the manager while the other has been here 3 years and regularly gone missing. It's a stupid comparison, no surprise you came up with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settled into his role brilliantly, be better if he had a settled partner beside him though, i don't like the chopping and changing between Wilson and Ball.

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm sure Halliday will be a key player in the Prem for us, maybe in the more attacking midfield role which we've seen him play in twice now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Would have been nice if that shot had gone in yesterday. Wonderful technique to curl the ball to the inside of the post from outside the 18 yard box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you actually want to compare a 3 year spell against 8 months for players who play in opposite positions? Again then, is 6 goals and 5 assists in 8 months from a DM not good enough?

I was only making the point that one's a bear so gets a free pass and the other doesn't, despite his impressive stats although funnily enough, our defence (Kiernan and Wilson) have took pelters this season on many occasions from fans despite having statistically the best defence in the league.

Unless they're in the paper talking about how they're that much of a bluenose that they were nearly born at a Rangers game. Then it's a different story.

He was invisible yesterday, As he was against St Johnstone. 2 games against top flight teams and 0 impact. I think it's more than fair to think he'll struggle if we go up next season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Andy's a bigger target than others on here purely because he's a bear yet no one's actually posted criticism or started a thread questioning his selection because it would be stupid, aye? Some logic there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
