    When you consider he was out injured for a year. He's just got better and better.

    Been a turnaround since Stubbs arrived imo. Solid at the back, and despite his lack of pace, his footballing brain is still sharp. Vocal too, and seems to command the respect of his team mates. No suprise that Halliday has been able to improve, as he's obviously more confident in the centre back pairing.

    Halliday has been excellent. Stubbs a close second (his lack of pace lets him down, as does the fact he has a turning circle like the QE2 :laughing:) and I think Gilliead has had a relatively decent season by his previous standards. Clayton has been a revelation since coming in, which coincided with Smallwoods upturn in performances

    To be fair, I don't think there are many at all that we can moan about this season, which is not something we have been able to say for a very long time!

    You've said it for me.

    I'd actually put him above both Cook and Lewis because frankly, due to a player like Osadebe not been available who at least has some defensive positional sense, he's been woefully and continually exposed.

    Yesterday was a case in point!! A lot of their good play came down his side - simply because Banks looked like his often is, a kid learning the game.

    Very underrated by a lot on here. You only have to see, how much poorer the team was in those two matches he missed.

    Best RB we've had since the vintage one of Darby / McMahon. And yes, that might not be saying much, given the dross we've had in the meantime.

    Halliday for me.
    Most of the matches I’ve seen (usually have commentary so harder to tell from that), he’s been the one driving us out from the back.
    Unsung hero imo

    Brad Halliday all day long, however there are unsung heroes too.

    Gilly,( I wish he had the same skill set as good as his engine) and Stubbs, Clayton since Jan!

    Halliday as everyone else has said. But to make it different, Banks has had a good season

    This 'fred makes me feel Brad All Over

    First time i saw him i thought, he doesn't look fit enough, bit of a hunchback developing there
    But his energy levels are top notch, many of our players esp midfielders could do with his effort

    Yes I like Halliday. I agree Stubbs lacks pace but he more than makes up for it by reading the game so well. He is invariably in the right place.

    I agree. The whole team has put a shift in this season. They might not all of have the quality but it is certainly not through lack of effort.

    Banks yes , on second thoughts I’d have him back, but a bit hot and cold until the last 10 games.
