Deuce Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Colo and Williamson, man. Not a clue. It's like last season never happened. Williamson is fine as a 4th choice CB and for the occasional spot start. When clubs count on him playing each week, he's easily exploited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelunchbox Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 he's not amongst our best defenders. a poor footballer but nowhere near as bad as a defender that most people make him out to be, neither was Simpson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but his limitations as an actual footballer is what makes me feel as if we can't play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The inconvenient truth is that there's no great solution to this puzzle. There's not one CB in the squad who isn't without flaws and no perfect combination of CBs to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Colo and Williamson, man. Not a clue. It's like last season never happened. Williamson is fine as a 4th choice CB and for the occasional spot start. When clubs count on him playing each week, he's easily exploited. Our entire back 4 has been exploited all season without him in it. No one in their right mind could argue that Mbwia is a better option than Williamson at present. Gary Neville called it spot on last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fine if you need a big guy to stand there and not get out-muscled. Terrible on the ball, can't pass, and he's not very good with his head for someone so tall.

Mr. Snrub Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I got slated for saying that Willo was amongst our best CBs a while back and I was being serious. And you feel vindicated because be played better than Yanga-Mbiwa for 45 minutes last night? He's still pony and championship level at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 He gets spun like a top from any passage of play below shoulder height. Pure hacker, whacker, blocker and fuck all else.

The thing is that Mbwia doesn't even look Championship standard this season. In fact he got ripped apart at Morecambe on numerous occasions and they were down the bottom of League 2 at the time, probably still are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Taylor and Colo shipped 6 in the least game and a half? News to me, like. Then again I am often thick as pig sh! t as you say. Dear god you are thick. With Taylor being injured if you don't play Williamson you have to play Colo and Mbwia who up until yesterday had conceded 6 in a game and a half. Surely not too difficult to grasp. Taylor's probably back for Cardiff. And no, I'd still rather Colo and MYM than Mike f***ing Williamson because of one half in which the opposition had stopped trying. Keep the personal insults coming, though, you utter f***ing winner in the lottery of life. As my life doesn't mainly consist of trolling messageboards such as this with 1000's of pointless ramblings I'd say I'm doing a lot better than you are in the lottery of life. Keep the insults coming if it makes you feel better about yourself though young un. I don't why ronaldo is arguing with you, he himself mentioned countless of times there's no 'future' in Colo and Mbiwa Are you actually this stupid?

Beren Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 You know things are bad when people are clamoring for Williamson to brought into the starting eleven Pardew brought it up post-match tbf. "Some of the goals we've conceded this year really are not good enough for us - the consistency of performance individually and as a unit in the back four - we're gonna have to do some work and there might have to be some personal (sic) changes in there. "I thought (Mike) Williamson come on and we looked a lot stronger for that and he's got a great chance of playing at Cardiff." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Cardiff is probably the wrong game for Williamson as apparently they have small fast strikers. Unless Pardew feels either Mapou or Colo aren't giving 100%, in which case he really doesn't appear to have a handle on the squad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 We actually cleared some aerial balls once he came on but I still think its our fullbacks that are the real issue. Yes Mapou had a stinker and gave up something he has to and will make up for. Must be Hard for a CB to keep heart mind when their fullbacks are constantly going missing or being passed with ease. Three CB's may be a better option that four at the back the way we are right now, Debuch & Santon both are probably much better wingbacks than they will ever be fullbacks. --------------Krul ------MYM---Willi---Colo----- Debu---------------------Santon ------Sisso----------Vern --------------Cabs ----HBA---------------Remy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Pardew feels either Mapou or Colo aren't giving 100%, in which case he really doesn't appear to have a handle on the squad at all. That's a reasonable point, but Mapou and Colo were so exceptionally shit on Monday, as individuals and as a combo, that there are other considerations. Williamson did well on Monday, and it's important that the squad get the message that if you play well, you get picked. What was striking on Monday was that the two centre backs were avoiding responsibility and leaving things to one another. Whoever you're playing, that will lead to disaster. Trying and failing is acceptable. Hiding on the field is not. It's dispiriting to the rest of the team. Willo isn't particularly mouthy, but I think he's a better communicator than the rest. And communication was sadly lacking on Monday. Williamson and Colo have played together several times before, and whilst they have their weaknesses, they have at least worked out a division of roles and know what to expect from one another.
