I must say I like the way things are being kept pretty quiet at the club which allows us to spring a bit of a surprise against the opposition

1 month, can’t complain. Let’s hope he hits the ground running. If not, thanks for trying! Happy with this, Welcome Greg!

If he hits form that will be extended, he can be a very good player.

True to Southend Tradition ...

This line means he's also "The striker" we was promised ?

If he hits form that will be extended, he can be a very good player.

Where do you think he will play? Nominally a defender, but is very versatile.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

I wonder if he is getting paid, he offered to play for free until January........

got Freddies shirt.... an omen?

He can play anywhere but I see him either in central defence or more likely midfield. He has a hell of a long throw so no doubt they will be using that to good effect.

Starts on the bench tonight. I have reservations about this one but it’s a no lose deal I guess. He’s definitely experienced. Welcome, Greg.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

A month-long deal. I don't see the harm. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Welcome Greg

Spot on. Am sure he will be a good influence at the training ground and in the dressing room. Tonnes of experience.

That aged well. Never doubted him.

And you sir were absolutely correct ?

 

[shrimpled]

Playing for free too. And what a finish....

 

[shrimperjon]

Thought he did really well and didn't look out of place. Yes his goal was lucky but he was in the position to win the header and the luck went his way tonight. Showed more than either Acquah or Stirling did. Maybe can do a job for us until the end if the season. And based on tonight no issue from me

SOUTHEND United manager Mark Molesley feels Greg Halford's versatility will prove key for the Shrimpers.

Greg signing for us, even for a month, is a masterstroke. Tall, physical and versatile, exactly what we need at the moment. I have to say, given a choice of a versatile figure in the squad i would take Holford every time over Mohsni, because he will make a massive contribution off the field as well.

On first showing, he looks in great shape, and not someone who was semi-pensioned off! That was a lucky fluke of a goal - about time we got the rub of the green! Welcome to Roots Hall Greg!

 

[Colchester and proud!]

You can see in this show reel where Greg plays best, defence and midfield, but that long throw and aerial ability is a great help for the attack side of things. He is also pretty decent in the dark arts of football, and winding the opposition up, he learned from the master, Karl Duguid!
