REDOXO Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/report-bristol-city-0-4-brentford/ Read a few times people blaming Williams for a second Yellow! WRONG. He was given a straight red for trying to rescue a situation that was the fault of the melts in front of him! An almost weekly issue since Fulham and for a few games before!

Still blame him he was never getting anywhere near the ball and should have left it to Bentley, would rather be 2-0 with 11 than 1 down with 10 men.

A Horse With No Name Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Reminded me a lot of Fieldings sending off v Wolves a few years ago. In hindsight would have been better to have let him go, still had loads of work to do to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Poirot, we saw it as we we at the game, he was given a yellow because of an altercation with Watkins before the tackle which is why people thought he was given 2 yellows.

The one thing LJ did right today was not blame Williams for the mess created by the players in front of him. But I wont comment anymore on the issue as the manager has said it!

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The only good thing to come or that is Taylor Moore will hopefully get a chance to stake his claim, thought he looked very good when he come on, only problem, Bentley, Dasilva, Kallas & Hunt all seem to be making errors or just not doing their role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 @AppyDAZE summed up William’s performance best on the other thread: ‘So he managed one and a half red cards. Good day's work, Ash (or 13 minutes to be accurate)’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Williams seemed intent on getting sent off from the first minute today. Very odd. Maybe he's got plans for the next couple of weeks. First he was grabbing Watkins by the throat and next a professional foul as last man all in the first 13 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 https://www.skysports.com/football/bristol-c-vs-brentford/report/409649 Look at the red card incident in the highlights above. I don’t think Williams needed to fly in like that. He could have gone shoulder to shoulder with that player rather than slicing across him. I think his head was gone after the prior incident.

mozo Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Let's not forget he was needlessly booked for argy bargy with Watkins moments before. He was already wound up and when he saw a 50/50 his eyes lit up (was right in front of me) and went flying in, recklessly I reckon. Could've just defended by running back to cover goal side.

maxjak Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The entire midfield and defence were at fault for the first.......Bentleys awful parry for the second.........and the third and fourth were inevitable! Williams attempted tackle, was, from an international defender appalling and unnecessary IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Williams' head had gone after the initial yellow. He needs to take responsibility for what spiraled into such a defeat. Beforehand it was still anyone's game. No need to do what he did. The fact is he got a red card. The opinion is it was needless when on a yellow. He went back at Ollie Watkins and probably wanted to hurt him. Selfish if so; lacking in care for his teammates and the match. Glad it will now hopefully allow for Moore to get back in the team and cement his place. Been our best CB this season. Williams will know that he may now be pushed out of the team for a while pending injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Just watched it again. Not saying it was a dangerous tackle by any means, but would he have gone in like that if it was Watkins going through, with whom he had his little spat with shortly before that? Think his head had gone well and truly at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Williams was an idiot but he has been outstanding this season so we'll Let him off this once. He'll not do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Ironic people spoke on other threads about needling, getting to Watkins- when it's quite clear that Williams head had gone somewhat after Watkins thing, We don't 'play the game' very well, in that respect. 1-0 Watkins, 4-0 Brentford.

Yeah true- may have been a better chance but struggle to see us coming back even at 11 v 11 from 2 down vs a side who keep the ball like Brentford. They keep changing it, always assumed a straight red was a 3 game ban but seems it's one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
