steve_69 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 He needs to learn to play football, he's good at defending but Mike Williamson-esque with the ball at his feet. The more time passes, the more people seem to forget just how terrible Mike Williamson was. He was literally one of the worst CBs i've ever seen.

Disco Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thought he was pretty poor personally, as was Clark, but he (and Clark) certainly grew into the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Williamson was apalling at heading the ball for someone of his size. He would actually get his head on them though. Something Colo struggled with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Please, let's not talk about Williamson's heading. It immediately makes me think of the floated set penis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Weird thing with him at the minute with some fans. Got absolutely slated by fans in the match thread despite no live footage. Heard mixed receptions from people at the game. Abysmal effort for their goal mind. I think he's got quality but needs time and patience given his lack of experience. It doesn't seem like some quarters want to give him it though. Although that seems to be an across the board problem - Jon Stones being a prime example. I personally think he'll develop into a good Premier League player. He needs to stop absolutely bricking himself when he's got the ball at his feet and we're under pressure though. He'd probably suit the Morgan/Huth approach and just smash anything that comes near him. He's colossal in the air for us though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He needs time to develop. Would probably benefit from playing with a solid experienced centre half. I can't see him starting next season though, just not good enough currently. Ok when the ball is in front of him but in behind and he goes to shreds. I thought he was quicker than he is too. Being slated by fans at this stage is ridiculous though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Some posters on here are very fickle, centre halves take a long time to develop and benefit massively from experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He'll get roasted in the PL, square him up and he has the turning circle of a Tanker, the slightest pace once he's square completely does him. He was done in the first half in an embarrassment of a 1 on 1 and he got done again for the goal (albeit the Wigan lad did well). I seriously think he may have to go.

Seymour Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Some posters on here are very fickle, centre halves take a long time to develop and benefit massively from experience. This is true Maguire is a great example of this, been on the fringes of the Hull team for years now and been sent out on loan. But this season hes looked canny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He looks nervous and indecisive at times - and particularly for the Wigan goal, where he seemed to get caught in two minds. For a centre back, I think he's not bad on the ball, but I'm unsure how strong he is as a defender. But for sure, mental strength is crucial for a centre back.

Tiresias Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Think he'll be fine, been a bit dodgy of late but just needs to keep clocking on the experience as said above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He's been shite recently after having a decent start to the season. All of a sudden he seems to be shitting his pants when he gets the ball. The lack of a challenge for their goal yesterday was criminal as well.

Earlier in the season he was dropped because of his mistakes and should be again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB has to be a big priority area in the summer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Definitely worth persevering with, but I'm not comfortable at the prospect of him starting first choice for us next season. Not sure how much the captaincy has helped tbh, a lot of pressure for someone so inexperienced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much the captaincy has helped tbh, a lot of pressure for someone so inexperienced. I dont think pressure of the captaincy has had much to do with it, to be honest. He's very inconsistent, we've had a real mixed bag from him this year and it's all been down to him as an individual. He could do with understanding his limitations and concentrate on what he is normally good at, being a penalty box defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Not sure what those limitations have got to do with him being absolutely owned in the penalty box due to lack of agility, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Not sure what those limitations have got to do with him being absolutely owned in the penalty box due to lack of agility, mind. I agree that he his agility is poor but I still think he's decent when it comes to making blocks, interceptions and tackles in the box (recent form aside). He is notably better in games when we are defending as a team I.e Brighton, Huddersfield etc. When the game opens up or we have to go and attack a team, he doesn't know where to put himself and gets caught out. I think he will improve with experience but it's hard to tell how much. We should stick with him though. As you say, we need a centre half in the summer.
