Colocho Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 He was good yesterday. I suppose we can only hope that he becomes as steady a player as Colo has, as I can't see us signing a new CB for a year, at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Quite possibly the best of a bad bunch. Not according to madras who thought he was worse than Taylor. where do i say anyone was worse than anyone else, truth is i thought everyone done ok except for colo, for whom the game seemed to pass by without making any mistakes. think on it, taylor seemed to be marking bent, bent had a very quiet game. most of defending is getting into positions where the oppo doesn't want to pass to the bloke you're marking because the risk of losing the ball is too great due to the player being well marked and that doesn't mean standing on his toes type of defending. someone said something about williamson winning everything in the air....and so he should with it all being down the middle against bent,agbonlahor and young. on the subject of agbonlahor, didn't he get in the gap between centre halves and simpson a few times and was allowed to run on for a while, you'd expect the 'spare' centre half to cover that, we didn't and on one occasion the spare centre half was trying to cover the pass inside allowing him a free shot at goal which harper saved. taylor had a decent game and kept one of the best 'fox in the box' type forwards very quiet, sorry if it wasn't spectacular enough to earn plaudits, unfortunatly for some, good defending has to be spectacular to be recognised.

Nordstrom Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have to say that Williamson has been a brilliant catch for the club. We turned our back on large transfer fees and stupid wages and we were rewarded with a player like Williamson. He has performed relatively well since we signed him and has certainly repaid the fee which we paid to Pompey. Compared to some of the centre backs at our rival clubs, Willi is miles apart and I'm sure that his partnership with Colo can keep us tight at the back for seasons to come.

Their CB partnership is as much about him as it is about Colo. It's balanced, it's simple and it works well. Which makes yesterday's decision all the more insane.

Yorkie Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 There's no doubting he's represented brilliant value-for-money. I'd still be looking at replacing him as a starter in the summer, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still be looking at replacing him as a starter in the summer, though. In an ideal world. But I can't see us bringing in more than 6 players if Enrique goes. 2x strikers, 1x LB, 1x RW, 1x back-up RB, 1 back-up CB to replace Campbell would be greater priorities than replacing Williamson, surely. Not saying we don't eventually need better, but I'd have thought he'd do until the next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 If we've got any ambitions of Europe etc, we'll be looking to bring in a genuine quality partner for Colo. I'd be annoyed if we weren't atleast in the market for a centre-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be annoyed if we weren't atleast in the market for a centre-back. Rather have a couple of promising 18-22 y.o. centrebacks, maybe one from the lower leagues and one from abroad. Stick them in the 'developmental squad' and have them as back up for the main trio (Colo, Williamson, Taylor) along with Tavernier, Kadar (if ever fit) and James Perch () Presume Tozer isn't going to be good enough?

EthiGeordie Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I think we played champions league with Bramble if my memory serve me right. Williamson is 100% better player than Bramble. It is better if we spend the money in another positions. Buying quick players will help us to the great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
