Guest ToonZA Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 same typical defender as colo... slow mofo defender... This argument is invalid. Agree that Colo is slow, but that is pretty much the only thing against him. He has other qualities which allows him to compensate for his lack of speed and that is why he has been one of our star performers this season. Willo has quite a few limitations and being slow is only one of them. Those other limitations prevent him from compensating for his lack of speed and that is why he is regarded as a backup CB who is filling in for the injured Saylor. So while they both are slow, they are definitely not the same. Not now, not ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I thought Willo was abysmal yesterday. I dont mind him coming in for the odd game but he is playing most of the season due to Taylors injury so i really wish we had bought someone else in now like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Just a hunch but I reckon he'll be sold in the summer. We've moved on a hell of a lot from when we signed him and I think he's starting to look a little out of place. We can do better and I think the club know this.

Dinho lad Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 it was only few weeks ago that pardew praised him for having a hand in helping us keep our recent clean sheets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michaelfoster Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Massively massively overrated. Wish he'd stop turning his back too. Its a football ffs. How much can it hurt? Colo did this yesterday for one of the goals but nobody has mentioned it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He's a good squad defender that we need to keep but his lack of pace is his biggest weakness and I agree with most people in that we'll see a faster and better defender arrive in the summer hopefully. Such a shame we didn't get a CB in January, ah well nevermind.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nice lad, was a very important player for us last season, but we've moved on and he's no longer good enough; we shouldn't be putting ourselves in a position where we're relying on him for long periods of time, should be 4th choice at best.

We've moved on a hell of a lot from when we signed him and I think he's starting to look a little out of place. We can do better and I think the club know this. Shouldn't be sold imo. Sure, his weaknesses have been exposed this season but I still trust him to do a job like. He's a steady, not-so-exceptional CB. Having said that, Saylor is the better option but still, it is nice to have someone like Williamson as backup. (We do need another capable CB though, squad depth reasons really).

Guest prestonj1989 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Since Williamson came in to the side we have conceded 14 goals in 8 games. The Taylor/ Colo partnership conceded only one more goal but over 14 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Unfortunately Williamson is currently the 2nd best central defender I've got! At the best he's pretty decent and can do the job at this level but he's way too inconsistent to keep a regular starting spot... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He has come back from a terrible injury that had him out for many weeks and was thrown in ASAP after Taylor was lost with little or no time to get up to speed again. Unlike the precious Ben Arfa, nobody seems to remember that bit. He has not been the only poor player on the pitch in the games where the team have been hammered. So why is he a target? Spurs were absolutely rampant yesterday and yet the reaction here is as if Williamson singlehandedly lost the game. Total bollocks - it is a team game. He was no better or no worse than those around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just feel he is not nearly physical enough to play the 'tough centre half' role. He isn't as good as he should be in the air for his height, he isn't particularly strong and most importantly he just isn't brave enough. For example, I can't imagine Adebayor scoring his goal if Saylor had been marking him. Saylor would have just thrown himself at the ball and cleared, regardless of any potential boot to the face.

Shak Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ideally he should be the 4th choice CB. Can do a job now and then as emergency cover but he's going to get exposed when given an extended run in the team, a team like Spurs who play a slick passing game was always a potential nightmare matchup for him. If he's happy in a squad role then I'd look to keep him in the summer, he's not terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
