Pata Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I feel there is a bit of revisionist history here. He wasn't a terrible player and we have had loads worse than him. He was average, did well in spells, did poorly in others and was a decent squad player who had some useful runs in the team. Don't see the need to demonise the guy. The floated set piece debacle was a Pardew issue and unfair to blame Williamson for his poor tactics. He wasn't that bad, basically Andy O'Brien mk2.

Odear Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 With a new brain or maybe some of those blue pills from the Bourne Legacy, maybe Bramble could have been the best defender of all time. It was always his decision making and lack of concentration that failed him. No amount of training could reverse that. Mike Williamson did alright in patches. He came in during a time when defenders were not priority with the club. Wish the lad luck whatever he’s doing now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I thought Hall was better than Williamson when they both came in to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I thought Hall was better than Williamson when they both came in to be honest. Fair call - One Size was pretty good when called on. Was just a loan though, wasn’t it? Not even a full season from memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Taylor was marginally less shit than Williamson but I hated the stupid cunt 10x more than Willo. To think poor Colo had to endure these two for most of his time here! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Peak Coloccini alongside this Lascelles in 15/16 rather than the finished injury-hit and rookie error prone versions would have been immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I must be in quite a small minority of people that never really rated Colo. I remember one of the first things Keegan did when he arrived is drop him to the bench. I think we've had quite a few better centre halves, I'd even put Dabizas ahead of him.

Stal Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I was never a fan of colo. Good in the championship, was solid enough first season after promotion but his captain abilities were dire and his apparent complicity with the likes of paedew and carver were just despicable. I am convinced he'd be injured or banned for periods just so he could go back to Argentina for whatever his "family issues" were. Maybe Williamson learned that trait from colo. Again, for me, it's not just about ability but also about attitude and both of these showed nothing but contempt for the fans and this club in my eyes. But, something else is bothering me. Anyone know if Williamson has his coaching badges? Cheap alternative if the fat man doesn't sell up and jettisons Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd remembered Colo was underperforming but misremembered which manager dropped him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Not sure I've ever seen a weaker CB than Mikey boy, a total lettuce. Cacapa Fucking hell forgot about him. Holy shit we've watched some shite. That Portsmouth game I have zero recollection. Was he too shit to comprehend, because I feel like that's what it has to be. I bet some of the teamsheets from those years would reduce me to tears. We lost the game 4-1 with Portsmouth scoring 3 in the first 10 minutes, Cacapa got absolutely destroyed by Benjani.
