I've been going bonkers ever since he got that 4 year deal but credit where it's due I thought he was good today. Not spectacular but I thought he at least tried things, some of which came off, some didn't. My biggest criticism of him is that he plays it too safe too often but I don't think he was guilty of that today.
He needs to keep it up and give that sort of performance against the more established sides, not just the newly promoted clubs. If he can then he might just win me over.
(Still think his 4 year deal is crazy)

I must confess, I've often been quite critical of Handling, I feel he doesn't get himself involved enough and is often easily bullied off the ball but in all fairness to the guy I thought he had a good game today!

Handling deserves credit for today's performance but he needs to start making more of an impact in tight games against the poorer sides.

I thought he had a great game today, he looked much stronger as he usually gets shoved off the ball quite easily but today he held his own against them.

The more I watch Handling the more I like what he does.Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

Anyway this thread is going the way I didn't want it to so I'm going to bow out and slate Lewis Stevenson on a different thread.
Feel free to respond and have the last word.....

Scott Allan is the perfect role model for Danny in this instance, he instinctively knows when the World Cup pass or the square ball is on and appropriate..

I think much of his confidence and composure yesterday will have come from getting the man of the match award a couple of weeks ago ; -)

The goal yesterday where Hanlon pinged it to lewis, rather then just attack or go down the ring and cross, it came right across park to Gray, one touch pass to malonga then crossed back to the left, cut back, goal.
An utterly fantastic goal by keeping possession. All the goals were fantastic yesterday, an absolute joy to watch.

I think playing alongside Allan is helping Danny a lot because he clearly tries to copy some of his style of play. Agree with the OP that my criticism of him has been based in him not taking risks or taking responsibility in matches but he's improving with every game now. I don't mind if he shoots wide or an ambitious through ball doesn't come off, I'd rather he tried those things than turned on his heel and rolled a 5 yard pass to Liam Craig.

I think Danny is the type of player if its not on, dont play it. I like that and it suits stubbs style. If we had both Handling and Allan trying the world cup passes we would lose the ball far to often. Yeah when they come off it looks brilliant but not all the time. Keep the ball the other team cant score. I think he has grown into a first team player well and his technical ability is brilliant at times.
