Guest MrSundlofer Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Mike Williamson has had a good season and usually plays safe. He did it for 90 minutes today except for the mistake today that led to a penalty. I trust him, but could also be a good "first-defender-choice-on-the-bench" (our third best defender) if we buy a new proven central defender for next season. He did a mistake today, everyone do mistakes, he is still a good player and it's funny to see how people "don't rate him" after this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'd be delighted to have him as our third choice defender next season. Taylor being fourth. But he's made mistakes all season. Got away with it last week and was punished for his down-right clumsiness today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Terrible game. Doesn't mean he's shit forever. Human being in makes mistake shocker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Starting to frustrate me slightly. A solid enough defender but he's one you'd look to upgrade in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got away with it last week and was punished for his down-right clumsiness today. I'd be happy with him as third choice. He's just not supposed to be a starter. He gets away with a lot fortunately or unfortunately depdning on the way you look at things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 He's an ok defender but still think we shouldn't be keeping him as first choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 He's had a very decent season and has surprised a lot of us - including myself - along the way. He struggles against good players because of his inability on the ball and complete lack of strength and athleticism. Won't be too unhappy to see him in the starting Xl next season. I do think that a better RB alongside him would help him out greatly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 As mentioned he has got away with a lot this season, he can be very clumsy and it far too "hands on" inside the box. Love the guy though and for his first year in the premiership he will only get better with experience, getting away with it wont teach him any lessons hopefully this is a wake up call for him. Happy to have him 3rd choice. A top CB and natural leader is a must at the back. We do well but lack organisation and leadership back there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 He has very slow reflexes coupled with mediocre pace. He is not a smart player though Colo marshalling the defence makes this less obvious, it is just the silly decisions like today that hurt us. Happy to have him as a first team CB but would prefer a new one. He is a lower half CB and if we are looking to progress and challenge for Europe he needs to be replaced.

Given that we have money to spend allegedly it is a good chance to replace him in the first team and have him 3rd choice but I can't see it and won't be too gutted if he still in the first team next season.

Guest neesy111 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 If we can get a better CB than Williamson then go for it, but not at the expense of another striker etc. Williamson as 3rd CB then we can fuck Saylor off at long last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Don't think it would be easy to replace him without spending Coloccini levels of money. Reckon we'd able to get something better than him for circa £4-5m. Preferably a big, bastard of a centre half. An absolute monster of a man. Who though I don't know but there must be better knocking about. Obviously strikers are the priority though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 FWIW Williamson has had a better season in the PL than that cunt Taylor has managed in 7 attempts. Aye. A bad game today against a World Class Forward, and everyone is seemingly forgetting the rest of the season he's had (at his 1st attempt) in the Premiership.

A bad game today against a World Class Forward, and everyone is seemingly forgetting the rest of the season he's had (at his 1st attempt) in the Premiership. It's what happens after a defeat, 7 or 8 player threads are bumped with them all being deemed not good enough to start. Then one of them is dropped, we have a bad game a few weeks ago and the not good enough player is suddenly good enough again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Samba, Roger Johnson, all they care about is defending kind of player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Gooch's defensive partner would be alright. Although last time I watched him play he had a total nightmare so not sure how he's done this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Roger Johnson is about as much as big as one of my legs. He's not much of a bastard either. Samba on the other hand would be a great signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
