hoxton casual Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 How did he play yesterday? Lovely lad, great to see him established in a decent Championship side. Part of that special team forever in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UREDS_91 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Looked good, did very well one point to get around three players. Should have done better at the far post but put the chance wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I never quite understand the “league one player” comment, when a guy has now played 78 times at this level (Champ). I think we all agree he’s not a top end player at Champ level, but wouldn’t it be better if we said something like squad player at this level bottom half team player at this level not gonna set the world alight at this level, but ok or something like that. Rather than derogatory comments like ‘league one player’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard for example was a key player in two League One promotions but he quite clearly isnt a Championship level player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Lower half squad player at this level. Lots of respect for him for all he did here but we've moved on now.

Undoubtedly not the comments of all living Blackburn fans, but a good selection given the lack of other material: ..Don't get me started on bringingWilliams back in or the fact we like to makeWilliams our go to guy for free kicks and corners into the box. He get's his head on it but bloody hell has he ever got one on target. Worse than Duffy was. Indeed if DerekWilliams knew how to head the ball in an attacking sense we probably would have won! I recall two examples of his terrible attacking heading; he does well to find positions but the end product from his head usually ends up in row z of the Blackburn end! I find it really frustrating... ...Williams did better than normal - all credit for getting where he did for our two best chances, no credit for what he did when he got there. It was sensible to have him on the pitch given the lack of central defense back-up. In retrospect probably would have been better to start with Rothwell... Not much betweenWilliams and Bell for me , neither really good enough ! Williams was no worse than anybody else today and doesn't deserve to be singled out ..And the less said aboutWilliams the better. ...Williams is a liability at both ends, ..Controversial but I thoughtWilliams was pretty good and a marked improvement on Bell, but needs to learn to control his headers at goal better ...Williams and Smallwood showcasing why they’re league 1 players. .as "solid" is not a word that comes to mind when it comes toWilliams playing left back (or at all, really). ...Hard to fathom the reason behind bringingWilliams back into the team otherwise. He's consistently proven himself to be one of our worst players over the campaign. Aaargh i blamewilliams awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
