Dr Venkman Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 His names too long to fit into a song Mike Williamson, Mike Williamson. To the tune of ' he's here, he's there, he's everyfucking where' Had this going in the Gallowgate back row yesterday. brilliant, definitely having a few go's at this at spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thought Bent targetted making runs between him and Simpson, after getting no change from Colo. Let him in behind too often and played him onside on numerous occassions. Bent makes great runs TBF though and gives better centre backs a tough time. I like Williamson, but he's looking pretty shakey and nervy every game now. High line affecting his game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rey Mysterio Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Massively massively overrated. Wish he'd stop turning his back too. Its a football ffs. How much can it hurt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 He's not good enough for the aspirations we have. He's one that I'd look at selling in the summer if we can or demote him to 4th choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I don't think he's horrible, he just gets shown up against the better players. We know his limitations, but I think he's decent enough cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Aye you have to look at what he is. Hes meant to be defensive cover for Taylor. Some games hes much better than others, just outclassed today. Rb is a more pressing issue, theyd had way to many chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I don't think he's horrible, he just gets shown up against the better players. We know his limitations, but I think he's decent enough cover. A decent enough cover will step in and do a good job, this is the second time we concede 5 with him having a shocker. 4th choice at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonZA Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Massively massively overrated. Wish he'd stop turning his back too. Its a football ffs. How much can it hurt? Dont agree with the first part. He is our back up CB and thats how I rated him. He is effective against teams playing a certain way but is hopeless when theres too much movement and pace from the striker or when people are running at him. However, I totally agree with you on the second part and it really p*ssed me off to see him do that. I have seen Sunday league defenders front up to a shot at goal. Quite frankly embarrassing for a PL defender to turn his back on the shot. I somehow recall that I have seen him do this before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Needs to be 4th choice next season with someone brought in to compete with Saylor and Colo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout 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? Yep. Again him turning his back costs a goal. Be a man. You would never get that from Saylor. He did it when we lost in the FA Cup too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He reacts slowly and is much too slow to recover. I think Taylor would have cut out at least one of the crosses for the first two goals where Williamson soon fell behind the play. Taylor would also have made a better attempt at blocking the third. The pen shout showed we still had a glimmer at two down, but it was game over at 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 He's not necessarily bad, but he's the one that needs upgrading this summer. For a team aiming to be in europe, he should be 4th choice at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
