Think I’d be happy to see him playing the Brownhill-role when Massengo back…links well with Tanner too. Huge bonus he was fit to start, even bigger bonus was to get 90 out of him. Didn’t watch it today but he was great v Fulham & we were much worse in midfield when he went off against Millwall . I saw enough when he played for wigan to know he’d be a asset . Shame it’s taken so long to get him fit but let’s take the positives . We got a real good un in joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched goals on the Sky app and it looked like Williams had leapt above the defender - not that it matters that much.

I watched on Robins TV from Canada, it was definitely an OG. Agree it doesn't matter. It is nice that former Swindon knob Thompson scored an OG though.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomThumb84 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Love him. Just what we need. Saw glimpses of it at Millwall and again today but he likes a chirp and wants to get involved. About time we had some gob in there who is not afraid to put a foot in. Bet he is great around the club too. Keep him fit and and others have said, a midfield of Williams, James and Massengo is very very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Anyone who watched Williams play against us, either for Bolton or Wigan in recent years, knows what he’s capable of when fully fit. I was impressed by him every time he played against us, either through his tenacity or set pieces and it’s great to see him starting to show that quality in a City shirt at long last. The fitter he gets, the better he gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthS22 Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 What a player he looks, and he doesn’t even seem to be fully fit yet. Head and shoulders the best player on the pitch today, even if Smozdicss was determined to prove otherwise. Very difficult playing conditions that really tested fitness levels, but sheer bloody minded determination and commitment right until the end kept us going and carved out the chance for the win. Credit also to Chris Martin. Gets a lot of stick, including from.myself on occasion if I’m honest, but put in.a massive shift today and what a great goal for the winner. Take a bow mate, proper grafting performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexhill reds Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 1 hour ago, The Swan and Cemetery said: Massengo, Williams and James look like our best midfield trio, but whilst not winning the most statistically valid sample of the year award, think interesting that King’s 6 starts have delivered 11 points, the 5 he didn’t start, 5 points. A lot to be said for someone unobtrusively keeping things chugging along. Definitely, King is very under-rated just reads, breaks up play and moves the ball on and does it under the radar too. Good addition to the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED4LIFE Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Echoing all above, I thought he was excellent. I thought it was telling when Alex Ball said on the commentary for the Millwall game that Williams was one of the most competitive players he has come across and he even argues with him when he refs 5 a-side games in training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Loved him today. It’s never all on one player, but it was noticeable how much better we ticked v Fulham when he came on, and worse v Millwall when he went off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Just your typical nasty scouser, in the nicest possible way! He’s the exact sort of bite in midfield we’ve been missing in forever. The lad can obviously play too, I just hope he can stay fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 I do see Willliams as a poor man's Stevie G; fiercely competitive anywhere on the pitch and a lot of quality in his play. Good to see James and Williams both play important roles in the goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 Must be very satisfying for him on a personal level, to play like that after going through those injuries. Can't wait to see a James, Williams, Massengo midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a poor man’s Gerrard would be a significantly better midfielder than most so I hope you’re right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Swallocks Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 When’s Massengo back? A midfield trio of him, JW & MJ looks really strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those 3 will play the bulk of 3/4s of the midfield minutes this season if they stay fit. I’m getting the impression that the fitness stuff is because (as quoted) Nige doesn’t really want to rotate. Massengo and Williams are capable of defending large spaces because of their speed / athleticism….that’s a bit of a Gamechanger for us over recent years.
