Well no because we'd have three wingers or 3 attacking midfielders on the pitch so it just leaves even bigger gaps at the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliday offers no protection for our back 4 from what I've seen,dont think theirs someone in development squad whos suited to play that role in team thats ready to step up so was only reason for suggesting Burt as i like him a lot. I can see your point It was position should have been addressed in January window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobham 1,569 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Realistically it's going to be Halliday or Rossiter for the rest of the season, assuming Rossiter gets fit at some point. Otherwise it's Halliday or Halliday. Wilson, Burt and Gilmour can't and won't be played at DM as one is too young to play anyway, one is too inexperienced and isn't a DM and the third is an average defender who'd be a shite DM. Wilson doesn't have the composure to play there and would be a worse option than Halliday as impossible as that sounds. There could maybe be a case for Hyndman playing there as although he doesn't fly into tackles the way we want a DM to, he's certainly very calm in possession and keeps the ball well however playing him there would take all the goal threat out of the midfield leaving us with an entirely different problem. So unfortunately it's Halliday until Rossiter is fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Why don't we play Barrie McKay at DM? He's about as qualified to play there as Burt and Gilmour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyM 39 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'd give Jimmy Bell a game at DM or CB on Saturday. Couldnae be any worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Walter used to do that sometimes with centre half's,have them sitting in the DM position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider the amount of times Wilson dallies on the ball at the back under no pressure only to give it away! now put that same guy in the midfield with little to no time, getting the ball with his back to play and having to turn, keep calm and pick out a team mate all while thinking about his next move to potentially receive the ball back. I can assure you we'd all be screaming for Halliday to be back in there. Danny Wilson anywhere near the midfield is not the answer!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the answer but with the limited options and the transfer window shut I am happy to try anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, given 10 seconds he occasionally picks out a 30/40 yard cross pitch pass but he's awful under pressure, his first touch and control are no where near good enough for midfield either. Granted he can tackle better than Halliday but the number of times he would get caught out would be far worse than the occasional good tackle he would make.
