Sir Geoff Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Made a huge difference when he came on last night. More like the Joe Williams we all hoped to see. Shame he didn't pass to Sam Bell instead of trying to chip the keeper, but otherwise an excellent display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously still question marks on his fitness and durability and I can't remember a more one footed central midfielder in my time watching football. There's a player there. A proper one. Just got to keep him fit and motivated. Erm, Tinman. Literally had a right leg just for standing on. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that right peg was only ever used for standing on. 1 minute ago, nickolas said: Erm, Tinman. Literally had a right leg just for standing on. Great minds!

Steve Watts Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 7 minutes ago, Percy Pig said: I'm talking about even controlling the ball with his back foot when receiving from the right, it's something I drummed into 8 year old's and it infuriates me when I watch him. Its not minor either, as when play goes through him it takes an extra touch and extra second for him to move around the ball and continue the process of rotating the ball across the midfield which allows the defenders time to recover/respond and block the next pass. I'm not asking him to have the passing range of Paul Scholes with both feet, just control the ball with the correct foot and play a second faster. The one thing our under 11's captain lacked was the confidence to use his left peg. I kept on at him for ages about using it and the penny finally dropped when he scored a daisycutter with it from just outside the area. Adds another dimension to his game and like you say it allows the ball to be moved out a lot quicker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I remember when Tony Thorpe set him up against Swindon with a chance on his right foot. He had to take it first time and had to use his right foot. He nearly fell over!!!

Boston Red Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Also against Swindon, next season, Tinnion smashes one in with his left foot from miles out 02.45. Tinnion looks more comfortable 30 yards out on his left foot than with a close range tap in on his right foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 It's good to hear positive things because despite his goals I have been a bit disappointed by his quality in the ball this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told that he feels he is the fittest he has been in his career, the programme our medical team put him on has been instrumental in that. He is apparently fuming that he isn't starting games, which made me wonder if it's part of Pearson's plan, because he seems to be taking it out on opponents with some of his tackles lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will b11 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Personally I’d have Williams ahead of James in a midfield 3 of him Naismith and Scott 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Maybe that Pearson is building him up to 100 minutes per match in stages as he has effectively missed two and a half seasons. No need to rush him at present. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Rightly cannot get in this team right now. James and Scott working well together and Sykes is an improvement on Weimann going on both of their recent form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyreds89 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Ok, was confused by the part when you said despite his goals? He has 2 I think read it as though his goals meant he’d had a scoring spree that I’d missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 The Williams I saw play for Bolton then Wigan was a proper central midfielder. He could even take quality corners, too. I don’t think he’s the same player now after all the injuries. He can still do a job, just not as effectively IMO.
