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!

Why do highlights videos always have such awful music?

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

Hi, Col Ewe, Agree Greg Halford good signing,always liked him, when he was with you. Not surprised he got a big money move. He only looks 20 now!
What,s the betting he scores on Boxing Day!, :Hilarious:

By the way Merry Christmas to one and all.

Cheers yugmot, yes ex players always seem to score against us, I am standing by to lose 2-0 goals scored by Halford and White :Whistling:

Keep or order a taxi ?

If we get lynch signed, order a taxi for me. That said, not seen lots of him in matches so I’ll trust MM on this

southendkid · Jan 9, 2021

It depends if MM wants to persist with the 3-4-3 or not, if we're playing 3 centre backs every match then we probably need a 5th choice CB for cover.

Debut = Messiah
Today = Pariah

In my mind neither , just a decent footballer who can do a good job for us in certain games and help keep us in L2

Being harsh, after the unnecessary red card I'd say he can go. However he might still have a bit more to give. Lots to think about for MM

Taters123 · Jan 9, 2021

To me, today showed that his legs have gone and his body can’t quite do what it used to especially at CB

Holy Joe · Jan 9, 2021

Depends on budget and squad numbers. He's a good utility player and got a great throw. Not number 1 priority to keep him but think he could be useful

OldBlueLady · Jan 10, 2021

I'd like him to stay. Think he has experience that could prove vital, and doubt he'd be too expensive. Plus I like a bloke who can apologise.

Very harsh red in my opinion, but as the ref had already booked him and the Barrow player was making the most of it, there was little choice but to send him off. It made the game a bit tougher tgan it needed to be, but we hung in there and won ugly!

I agree, would keep him too. Proved versatile and useful in a variety of roles. And seems like a decent person, the apology will go a long way as well. Just hope we can keep hold of him, JW and Macca for the rest of this season. I would also like to think we can get another year at least from John White.

I think both Macca and John will get their contracts extended to the end of the season. We just have to hope John doesn't take another injury on that arm though. Like you I think Greg has some value in the team - we have a good mix of old and young and the youngsters can learn a lot from the older pros.

I’d retain White, Halford and McCormack. Their positive influence is obvious. Fair play to GH for coming out and issuing that apology on twitter, not necessary in my view but it’s decent of him.

Once again I find myself agreeing with you having previously been of the opinion he could go. I think publicly apologising and the ability to graciously eat humble pie is a good indicator of character, an therefore I make you right OBL.
If the price is right that is.

I fully agree. GH did not need to apologise however to me this shows that he is a decent professional to have in the dressing room. I still think we need cover and can also be used as an impact sub.
I am not sure what he is like in training but can assume he is a good influence on our younger players.

Have to agree and feel the apology will help the younger guys in their progression.
The experienced players seem to be helping the team regardless of being in the starting 11.

MM just needs to speak him and say you won't start very often, but you'll be on the bench and will get minutes as and when needed. If he is happy with that and the money can be agreed. Then its a no brainer. It's not as if we have a cap on our squad size :Winking:
