Derrick Williams

Not seen a thread on him yet but a great goal last night.

I thought him filling in for Bryan would be a square pegs move, but seems to have taken to it really well, albeit just 2 matches.

Was very concerned when Cunningham left but now feel more confident in us on that left side.

At his best he's very cultured and calm on the ball with a good turn of pace, like a Rio Ferdinand type.

At his worst he looks panicky and gives the ball away.

People forget how young he is but he's acquitted himself well recently. Goes under the radar in this team. Will probably bring out the best in both him and Bryan to have competition for a LWB role.

Good work Del

His defensive nature could be a useful counterbalance to the attacking instincts of Bennett or Little on the other side too.

When Danny Wilson had City playing 3-5-2 he had the attacking Murray on the right and the more defensive Bell on the left. It was easy to switch that to a back 4 with Bell moving to left back and Coles or Carey moving from the right of the back 3 to right back and it was something they often did during games. The exact same thing is possible now with Williams becoming the left back and Ayling the right back.
