winsaw Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 (edited) BBC have Williams as the 14th best player in our side in there ratings, I guess they were watching a different match to me as I thought he was excellent for us tonight and ran the midfield, Edited January 16 by winsaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 7 minutes ago, downendcity said: Typified the fight and spirit in the team in a way that reminded me of Gerry Gow 50 odd years ago, snapping into tackles and riling the opposition . However, what GG could get away with back then is not the same as today, so Williams was lucky to stay on the pitch. P.S. Still has a bit to do to reach GG's level of all round performance though. He could easily have collected a yellow for the challenge on Ings in the 1st half. Great to see the crunching tackles, but he needs to keep them clean. Thought Matty James played well too, calm and assured. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeputyDoggie Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Is now consistently showing his contribution and value as a player. Add to that his character, he is of potential huge worth to this squad. AKA Hartley, Tommy D and dare I say Gow. Yes a new contract offer please..

EFL more usually yellow unless ref has an excellent view, with VAR if it’s referred it’s going to be a red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Bit of bite, loads of energy- not bad technically. This is the Williams recent weeks culminating in tonight we hoped we were signing, prior to his terrible injury luck/mismanagement. In and around prime years too. Worth keeping?

Yes, hes had a few really good games, but i would be looking to see if this level can be maintained until the end of the season before committing to an extension.

Baldyman Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Williams to us now is what Bryan Robson was to Man U back in the day . An absolute leader on the pitch who loves a tackle and has a touch of the devil about him . Been a long time coming after all his injuries but is outstanding now !

Davefevs Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Tackles get the crowd going, he made a few tonight. Was delighted when we signed him…such a shame his first two years were blighted / wasted. Imho he played pretty well last season too, but had minutes managed. That’s allowed him the opportunity to gradually build that robustness up. His recent performances have been very good. Certainly gonna make for some interesting discussions re contracts! He must be really enjoying this spell, nice one Joe. ~~~~~ oh, yeah, and Matty James wasn’t far behind tonight either.

James54De Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 2 hours ago, TomThumb84 said: Lovely to see a bit of spite and gamesmanship from someone in our shirt for a change. An absolute menace. Done them like a kipper for the sending off and he does not stop chirping either. By the way, what a refreshing game without VAR. Added to it and loved the way the players went about it with freedom living on the edge. How it should be. None of our games have VAR. In fact, the only game we have ever played with VAR was the reverse fixture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyD68 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I was shocked when I saw the odds for him to make 2+ fouls tonight, a combination of him being the wonderful shithouse he is, Tommy scoring and city getting the win means I’m £400 richer tonight. Cheers Joe lad But yeah like others have said, first name on the team sheet atm. Let’s pray he can stay fit because we’re finally seeing the player we knew was in there and the team is benefiting hugely. Nobody else in the squad can play the role he does, and he's doing it superbly this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swings and roundabouts given tonight and possible incidents but wonder if VAR would've given us a penalty v Man City in the Cup last season, about 15 mins in. Felt nailed on and yet.
