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.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.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.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."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."
