weeyin Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:00 PM Watt was playing for Burton Albion at the same time as Williams. I wonder if he shared some inside info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted Monday at 06:03 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:03 PM 2 minutes ago, wellfan said: Williams is a left-back and looks set to be first choice, given his experience and the fact we paid a fee for him. That suggests either Longelo is on his way out, or he’ll be pushed into a more advanced role on the left. Having 2 left backs in the squad might be a new, bold experiment from Alfred. (Of course, Wilson might be second choice, but I suspect he might be out on loan again soon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted Monday at 06:10 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:10 PM Me and lads discussed before that longelo maybe better further up park so could be a williams-longelo partnership but Wilson did look a lot fitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted Monday at 06:35 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:35 PM It’s great to see the defence coming together . A keeper and 3 first choice defenders . Well done on that side . Next job midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t have a problem him being a back up at moment to, as you suggest, allow Longelo to move forward. Wilson is not up to the standard we need , hes too slow, and his final ball is average at best he struggled for game time on loan last season and i cant see him getting much game time this year as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted Monday at 07:37 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:37 PM On the face if it another good signing. Good youth pedigree, over 60 senior appearances, right age to develop and maximise sell on value. Hopefully he has the ability to back it up. Also in a position we have needed cover for, for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don't think he would be comfortable playing out from the back, possibly why JBA didn't fancy him much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would need to see what kind of shape he was in and if his year on loan had improved him any. But I agree that on previous perfomances its probably not gonna happen for him with us.

wellsince75 Posted Monday at 08:02 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:02 PM Stunned to learn wilson is only 21 . He’s been around the first team for 4+ years . i can see why previous managers extended his contract but suspect the championship is his level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not that bad, so if he's fit and lean, he can fill in at left back and in midfield - a useful squad player who won't be costing us much. If we make a few more signings or if he just doesn't fit our style, he can go out on loan late in the window or in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted yesterday at 01:22 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:22 PM I thought Ewan had a decent start with us a couple of seasons ago but then had a few errors and regressed which I put down to his age. Hopefully he can get back to the form he showed to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted yesterday at 02:18 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:18 PM I think there is a good player in there. I’ve always thought he had good foot skills on the ball and I didnt realise how young he was. He might surprise a few people if he adopts the right attitude amd applies himself to get as physically fit as he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every player in our squad can be first-team regular quality, we'd end up with players not being happy that they're not playing. There's absolutely a role for a fairly versatile home grown player like him if he's happy to accept that he's not going to be a regular starter. It takes a squad, after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real dosser Posted yesterday at 03:59 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:59 PM Burton fans saying Williams is a player and his best performances have been in midfield. Maybe he is replacement for Watt and not Longelo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he is replacement for Watt and not Longelo. For me that would be a bonus, as losing Slattery, Watt and Just has ripped the creative heart of the team out. This will be a big season for Fadinger, Priestman and possibly Williams to try to pick up the pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted yesterday at 05:24 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:24 PM The manager specifically referred to him as an attacking defender. I would imagine thats where we will see him. It is a bonus if he can do other jobs, but I fully expect a couple of midfielders incoming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Reports tonight that Just's fee is £6m + add ons. We'll probably have to pay Horsens a cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should leave us with at least £5m clear plus the add ons. Spectacular piece of business. Hopefully assist with the incomings. Need 3 midfielders and a striker I think. Unless Olly Whyte is definitely going to be one of the midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
