Williams needs dropping, awful Centre Back, a disaster waiting to happen every game!
He made two awful mistakes, and is rightly being called out for them, but, I think overall the game we had worse players on the pitch.
Some people having been watching the elite players in the World Cup too much, don’t you realise that we’re in league 2?
Pretty much every goal we concede comes from that right hand channel inbetween Knoyle & Williams. In my opinion neither of them are any good at doing the basics of defending. Time and time again we either fail to stop the cross or we let the winger come inside and get a shot off. Its clear DS is trying to implement a style of play but, he would need real help from the board in January to turn this lot around. Its not just a couple who need replacing. 90% of the team are squad players for a top table side. Other than that we are bang average and the club is being run in the same way. At any level you need to be paying fees for players to be successful, these are the players other clubs actually want or will dig their heels in to keep. I didnt see any Shrews fans crying over Williams rejecting a new contract or Fleetwood gutted to see Biggins leave, Pompey/ Close etc etc. Basically offering mediocre players a wage and hoping they do something. Utter stupidity. We maybe a stable well run club but im not surprised! We are stuck here until the unlikelyhood of someone with a big pot of cash and a bit of ambition comes and buys the club.
It was my fault I had literally just said Williams was having a good game as he fcked up for the first goal. I remember the feedback from Shrewsbury fans when we signed him - that there is always a mistake waiting to happen. I thought he was over that and has been quite consistent this season. Think we need Olowu back in the team though.For me DS messed up last night. Woltman was getting praised for his work in training but personally I would have had Tommy in that position and stuck with Long (or JO) at the back. Don’t think Woltman is strong enough yet for starting. The game just seemed to pass Maxwell by and in the main we never got Knoyle going forward

We've been rotating centre backs for the last 18 months and yet Williams is always picked. What is the danger in benching him and starting Anderson/Olowu/Faulkner/Long?
Williams should play in midfield, not defence
