Indeed, he looks not just composed but focused and has a touch of quality too. It really is like a new signing. Quite the thing really and shows once again how personalities sometimes just dont mix. __________________

He played really well on Saturday, he can cover the ground with them long legs of his.

He does the mopping up with calmness and efficiency which sometimes Smallwood seems to panic a bit with.

Yes the same Smallwood who had a major panic attack when he received the ball from Leon Best to kick it wide.

Halford is a changed man, and for a man with his EGO he really has won me over, it takes a proper man to just knuckle down and get on with it.

He's the opposite of Samson. Shave him bald and he will score a hat-trick. __________________

Who would have thought 6 weeks ago that we would be saying that "Halford will be a big miss against Derby" What a turnaround, at least it's just the one game and he will be back in to save our season. __________________

it shows what a poor manager Redfearn is, he had the chance to bring Halford in after Evans had screwed it up, but he listened to Black a bloke that can fail in multiple languages __________________

Well that may be the case derby but he didn't perform for Evans either, in fact I'd say the rot set in while Evans was manager, he who signed him, then played him out of position and then took the captaincy from him. The mindset was already negative when Redfearn came in to be fair and its my guess he decided on the easiest option of shipping him out. And lets be honest most of us were disappointed when he didnt go at the end of January

Good points Towdlad. Time can be a great healer but it was all a bit raw when Redfearn came in and Halford wanted to leave. He said so. In fact he did leave to Brum and said how much he wanted to stay there. Bit rough to blame Redfearn for this one. __________________

Agree, towdlad, it all started long ago. He did play rubbish as did collin. It got so bad that no matter how many games he got he got worse with every game. And then the captaincy was taken too. Quite a blow to anyones ego. Redders comes in and it just continues. NW comes in and its not just Halford that seems to benefit __________________
