Halford happy with forward role
The defender, on loan from Sunderland, headed the Blades in front early in the FA Cup fifth-round tie at Bramall Lane after he started up front as a makeshift striker due to injuries and suspensions.[LNB]However, he was then moved to central defence after captain Chris Morgan went off injured and ended the game with three stitches in a facial wound for his trouble.[LNB]His efforts were not quite enough for the Championship side to claim a Premier League scalp as Hull's Kamil Zayatte hit back to force a replay.[LNB]However, Halford said: "I thought I adapted well and I thought we deserved to go through. I think I am quite comfortable up there and hopefully it showed.[LNB]"All the lads were saying if I'd have stayed up front and Morgs had stayed on, we'd have turned them over. But it wasn't our day."[LNB][LNB]
