Mike Williamson (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

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.

Handled most of the aerial threat by himself and even had the guts to make that bold defensive clearance at the end. Great game by his standards

 

Couldn't win a header for 60minutes ffs.

 

:thup:

 

The last minutes salvaged his performance.

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

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

 

Willo was pretty solid most of that year too. Shola and a monumental couple matches as well (Spurs & Man Utd spring to mind).

Shola and Ba tore man utd apart in the 3-0 up here iirc one of the goals was just a punt downfield by krul and shola knocked it on to ba

Yep Shola out jumped Evans and Ba made Ferdinand look silly. Such a simple thing but it wouldn't happen with someone like  Cisse playing.

for some reason beyond my understanding I always love to see goals like that, maybe just because it usually means a cb or 2 has screwed up hilariously

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.

 

 

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.

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.

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
