No route of appeal for Halliday so he'll miss his first game of the season. Incredibly he's one of 6 players who've featured in every game for us this season, with 5 of them having started every one (McKay has come on as a sub in a couple). That maybe highlights a strength and weakness in applying Warburton's philosophy - we do indeed have a small, tight squad, but it's hard to see where this path to the first team is evident for the youth players who have been largely ignored since the point where we brought in the loanees.
