Red Skin Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yes, good news. Testament to his professionalism that despite missing a pre-season with a club, he was back play so soon. Very interested in the interview he did about going vegan and how it's helped his overall fitness. An item on football focus featuring Chris Smalling turning vegan too.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well deserved. Was worried about his age, a high line and how compatible all that was but happy to be proved wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 A class act, not the quickest now, but his brain and experience easily makes up for that. Always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright has 6 months left on contract in January. I would be extending Williams, and looking to get a small fee for Wright, whilst focussing recruitment next summer.

Bailey Wright was in the team that was second at chritmas during the 17-18 season. His form along with the rest of the team dipped after that of course... but bailey has never recovered.

brady bunch Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Bailey is a very good guy and was the one player my 12 year old remembered as being really kind to him when he was a mascot. He is a great club guy and worth having around in some capacity in the future. There is little doubt he would run through a brick wall for his teammates and the club, but and its a big BUT, he simply is not a top end Championship defender in my eyes and if he is ever more then back up, we are not going to get far as an ambitious club.

Riaz Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think theres a very good player in there. But needs a fresh start somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTeamInBristol Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Bailey Wright might not be the best CB we have available or even the 3rd or 4th, but he's a great guy bit like a Wilbraham, Wade Elliot type to have at the club. Sacrificed his World Cup spot by playing through injury for us don't forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t doubt his professionalism and steadiness, just think I’ve seen more quality in 4 games from Williams at CB than I’ve seen Wright. That’s not saying Wright was poor...he wasn’t....just that even at 35 I think Williams is an upgrade. Wright out if contract next summer too, the club having exercised the option. Great guy to have around, but he would need to be at the top of his game to threaten a place in our current defence....imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityal Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 My hope is that LJ and the coaching staff have instructed Taylor Moore to "shadow him" and do everything that he can to squeeze every last ounce of knowledge about being a top centre back from Williams while he is here. Williams best years are for sure behind him, but he has played at a very high level and if Moore can learn from him it could be key for his development. Not sure if Williams has started coaching badges (or even plans that as a future career) but we could do far worse than keep him for the rest of the season and look at him for player/coach contract next season.

Kingswoodactor Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Vinny Kompany keen on signing him for Anderlecht in Jan apparently according to the Post. Apparently Bellamy is on their coaching staff too, and obviously knows Williams well through Wales set up. Need to lock him down until May!

Sounds like he would make a really good SLO, maybe as he isn't playing he can combine the two roles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Vinny will make the end of October. They have just re- appointed their former manager as HC - Vinny still the manager......for now.
