bealios Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Our seasons seem to be defined by how well the supposed fringe players perform. 2011 - 2012 it was Perch and Taylor, this year it's looking like Shola and Willo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Similar to the way people saw Perch when he was here. Deemed as being shit in his first season or two by the majority (myself included), but has improved massively and is appreciated for his professionalism and attitude. Have to disagree. Very good in the championship. Good in his first 2 years in the prem. Tragically bad last season to the point where his manager simply referred to him as "the other guy" . Now he's sort of back to how he was in the 5th placed season. this, he did after all play most of the season in the 5th place season and our strongest point in that season was defending. Getting to the stage if he keeps this up that Hodsgon will have to have a look given theres not many english cbs atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Immense today. A very good talker and shouter too. In first half when Long got the better of Colo Williamson was telling him in no uncertain terms afterwards to get close to him and get him hit.

In first half when Long got the better of Colo Williamson was telling him in no uncertain terms afterwards to get close to him and get him hit. That's what I mean, Williamson's got massive faults as a defender and a footballer but he's absolutely bullies the rest of the defenders if he thinks they're not doing their job, and it helps.

Getting to the stage if he keeps this up that Hodsgon will have to have a look given theres not many english cbs atm Whoaah there. Let's not rewrite history. We defended well at the start of that season but ended up conceding more goals than all but one top 10 team and 5 more than the Mackems. Williamson played a part in that - he was particularly abject at Fulham and Spurs. Huge credit to him for recent form, and there's no doubting his attitude. But he's a player who when the wheels cone off, they FLY off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 We took some tonkings but overall we where a very solid team. That's how any good Pardew team will be. Solid at the back, relying on moments of magic up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Despite all the foreign competition there is something nice about a good old English centre half who cost us peanuts doing really well. He's been a good player for the club, as noted he's has some apocalyptic performances but so have most of our team. He's playing with confidence and only getting better. Plus, it means Steven Taylor is no where near the first XI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Loves that Willo is turning it around, becoming a bit of a cult hero. Just knew he would take one for the team near the end v Anichebe when he got clattered. He seems a good honest pro, he's aware of his limitations and has taken his chance that was handed to him this season. Should be an inspiration to all our fringe players. Really glad to be proven wrong with Willo, was all doom and gloom when we were originally forced to use him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Having a good season hope he keeps it up. Not sure if we signed Douglas he would have done any better. Maybe Kinnear got this one right, stop the Douglas Signing and Keeping Williamson.. Who knows.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I was surprised to see him getting beaten in the air quite easily in the first half by Long. I know Long has a good jump on him but I thought Willo would have handled that easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt JFK had a masterplan and grand foresight to see Willo finding a bit of his old form back. I actually doubt he even remembered we have Willo. He just fucked up that deal who fuck knows what reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
