MrRedRobin Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Thought this guy deserves a thread of his own. Before this season I was really hoping we would replace Joe because I could never see what he contributed to the team when he was on the field, I always knew he was popular amongst the lads but I got really frustrated watching him last season. This season he seems to have turned a massive corner, he looks a completely different player and he is starting to look like the player we signed and is really showing his worth for the team. If he is going to keep this up then we need to get him on a new contract because right now he is definitely in my favoured starting lineup. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189thoughts Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 100%. He has massively stepped up. Could do with him just adding a few more goals/assists and he would be nailed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portchy Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Providing he can maintain good performances and stay off of the treatment table, I wouldn’t be against maybe giving him a new 2yr + 1yr option contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Perhaps he`s finally fully fit and has had a full pre-season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Thought we were being told on here we should have traded him on last week? I said he was our best player against Norwich, but he’s set the standard now, so let’s hope he can stay fit & keep this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong injuries aside he will still say he’s not been at his best. But it must have been hard. Away from home he is perfect. The three need to step up at home and make things happen but there were good signs at Hull followed up yesterday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 He was excellent. That’s the performance we expected when we signed him. One crunching tackle in the first half. Loved it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firstyardleftinbed Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 The last few games Williams has looked so much better. It seems like he's finally got his confidence back in his fitness. Last year it looked like he was holding back on making runs from midfield because he was worried he'd do his hamstring again and when he just sits back he nowhere near as good a player. Fingers crossed he stays fit now because he'll be key to us getting support around Nakhi/Tommy for the rest of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shauntaylor85 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 He played well yesterday but he needs to find consistency. Swansea were a very poor side and they made it fairly easy for us. We always play well against sides who don’t sit back. Which is why we need more creative players to break down stubborn defences. Not taking away anything but we need to see some better consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 I’ve been bigging up his performances this season, bar Preston. Think he’s in good form, and an important member of the squad, and currently the starting eleven. Building a relationship with Knight too, that can take time. They were a great “pincer movement” at times yesterday, feeding off the other’s trigger. And he’s getting forward and getting shots off 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Thought he was excellent yesterday - having been right near the front yesterday, he was certainly really pumped up after the equaliser Our MF three of him, James and Knight certainly seems to be improving, the more games they play together….long may it continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 He can do a bit of everything and he can do it very well. Really like him. He’s just gotta try and be consistent now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still is far too inconsistent IMO. Played well yesterday though so credit where it is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Whole midfield was outstanding. Williams didn’t stop running and used the ball well, James does the basics unbelievably well and always in the right position and Knight was excellent carrying the ball forward and creating chances but also had the intelligence to keep the ball and stop them from putting sustained pressure on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 He has looked very sharp to be fair to him this season. Showing us the real version of himself when fully fit! Hope to see more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield most weeks gets over run good at swansea id like to see knight Naysmith and Gardner -taylor at some point plenty of energy.
