I read a largely positive Q and A with a QPR fan at the time of Warnock's appointment by City in which it was said that we should expect "underwhelming" signings that often work. Well. for me. Halford, at 32 and having only played fourteen times this season for what is obviously the Championship's weakest team, falls into the underwhelming category and I dread to think what the reaction would have been on here if exactly the same signing had been made by Russell Slade - i suppose it all depends now on whether the QPR fan was right about the second part of what he said.
