Mike Williamson (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Perfect cover for us and would start at most sides below us. We need to keep players like him if we are to progress as a club.

 

Completely agree. Players who are content to get chances when they come along rather than kick off being benched do a lot for the morale of a team.

Willo is an unspectacular but solid enough CB. However, his weaknesses/limitations have been exposed this season and they have cost us at times so by that reckoning, he shouldn't be first choice for us next season. But having said that, he's more than capable of doing a decent job in the centre of defence so I would like him to stay as backup.

 

The pecking order would like look this: Colo, new First Choice CB, Saylor, Williamson. Wouldn't mind this at all.

He's the football version of Ronseal. He does what he says on the tin, but maybe I don't want Ronseal on toast.

The real thing wich really puts me off with him is the direction of clearances. What those world class defenders do is get the ball in the general direction of a team mate instead of inviting pressure back on with a just get the ball away clearance.

 

But williamson has defo gotten leaps lately with his passing game. And ball control in general. The backline just trusts eachother with passing it about now and it's a joy to watch.

What a fucking shit football player this guy is. He cant handle the ball at his feet, so what's the point in playing him? The foundations of keeping possession start from the back, and with players like Williamson, Simpson and Harper the thought of retaining the ball and playing a passing game is a world away.

The point in playing him is that you know what you're going to get. Oh aye and arguably our best player is out injured.

Despite the way he is billed a 'go to man' (instead of Perch basically) for taller and more physical opposition I really don't think he's that strong in that area. For me his biggest redeeming attribute is his anticipation and reading of certain situations. In terms of physically and technically he falls way short of being a top flight player.

Yes, he's certainly nowhere near being a regular for the likes of ManU or Barca, but he's hardly a poor mans Bramble either. 

 

verdict: :thup:

As a defender I don't think he has many glaring error's in his game, he's just very nervous in possession and gets done for pace frequently.

 

What he can do and do effectively as mentioned is read passes and anticipate danger. He's also useful on opposing set plays aswell purely because of his height.

Didnt think he was too bad tonight, clearly someone who needs confidence to have a good game. Great ball onto Shola aswell for the second.

 

I'm not getting at you mate, but in fairness the amount of long balls he played you'd bloody hope he made use of one of them.

If we go back 9 years...

 

Coloccini is Woodgate

Taylor is Bramble (with less errors now)

Williamson is O'Brien

 

That just insulting Nut.
